Tomorrow -- March 3, 2016 -- local PCCC members will join supporters of ally organizations to deliver 1.5 million petition signatures to the Cleveland office of Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati.

The petitions demand Portman and Senate Republicans follow the Constitution and do their job by allowing a fair process on the president’s upcoming Supreme Court nomination. The PCCC will also launch online ads in Ohio to hold Senate Republicans accountable for obstruction.

This petition delivery is part of a Supreme Court national day of action. Other senators targeted with local delivery events and PCCC online ads include: Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Petition signatures have been gathered by Organizing for America (OFA), NextGen Climate, Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), MoveOn.org Civic Action, UltraViolet Action, Color of Change, Daily Kos, Demand Progress, People For the American Way, Common Cause, Sierra Club, CREDO Action, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Donna Edwards, and Every Voice Action. OFA members will also participate in other events across the nation.

"Sen. Rob Portman has doubled down on obstruction, extremism, and attacking the Constitution," said Adam Green, PCCC co-founder. "We're doubling down on home state grassroots pressure, which will be key to winning this fight."
