The campaign to end the filibuster has begun!  Take action by  
following this link:

Entrenched power players like Joe Lieberman, Max Baucus, Ben Nelson  
and Mary Landrieu have all depended on the filibuster to enable  
Republican obstructionism and water down progressive legislation.  
Corporate interests have used it to protect themselves by purchasing a  
few small state Senators on the cheap.

There's no bigger decision Senate Democrats will make next year. The  
Senate is where good legislation goes to die. Democrats can either  
change a system that allows a tiny unaccountable minority to thwart  
the will of the country, or they can continue being part of the problem.
