Sherrod Brown Opposes Branstad as ambassador [View all]

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/5/22/1665020/-OH-Sen-Brown-D-Builds-Momentum-Opposing-Gov-Terry-Branstad-R-IA-As-Ambassador-To-China

Terry Branstad is about to become the next U.S. Ambassador to China.

Branstad is notorious for busting collective bargaining rights in his state. Legislation he signed into law will force Planned Parenthood clinics to close this summer.

How can we make an anti-labor, anti-women's rights politician in charge of U.S. relations with a country that has huge human rights problems, especially in the areas of women's and workers' rights.

Will you stand against this appointment? https://www.sherrodbrown.com/landing/e170522pm/Add your name >>

The Senate could make this official this afternoon -- which means we're running out of time to voice our opposition.
edit to add:
Yep, finally someone points out the real asshole that is Branstad
