Sir, you have issued many calls to action over the years; now the Commissioned Officers of the U.S. Public Health Service are issuing you a call to action.

As a U.S. Senator, you will be a one-man force multiplier for all the people you've advocated for during your distinguished career. You have the perspective, the education, the connections, and the most importantly, you have the admiration of thousands of people who are looking for balance in our government.

Think of all the Senators you have admired over the years. These are people of conviction. While you will have but one vote in the Senate, you'll have the power to influence other Senators who lack your unique perspectives as a soldier, physician, scholar, and former U.S. Surgeon General. WE NEED YOU, THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOU, COME TO WASHINGTON AND BECOME THE NEXT LION OF THE SENATE!
