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.
