Filibuster This!: More Appeals For Progressive Action On Filibuster Reform

As Don says, 'These appeals have strategic importance to all Progressives.'  If this is an issue that you feel strongly about, consider taking action.


'Democracy for America, Levana L says,

The Senate is broken. Republicans have perverted its rules so that a 60-vote super-majority is needed to pass virtually anything.

Now we have a chance to reform the Senate rules and get it working for the people again. Last month, all 53 Democratic Senators signed a letter saying they supported rules reform that returned the filibuster to its original form, forcing Senators to hold the floor and talk for hours if they want to block legislation.

Call your Democratic Senator right now and tell them to support rules reform that fixes the filibuster:

From Daily Kos:

Chris Boyers writes a piece entitled, 

Answering progressive fears about filibuster reform

We need calls to Senators Reid and Schumer, urging them to 

(1) Rules that reflect a true filibuster, not behind closed door sham sessions

(2) Rules that allow for expediting nominations

CALL Majority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid, (202) 224-3542

CALL Sen. Chuck Schumer, Senate Rules Committee Chair, (202) 224-6352, 

OR CALL Sen. Schumer's NY office at (212) 486-4430).

Thank you!
