Fedupwiththefillibuster.com TAKE ACTION

It's time to end the filibuster
8,191
Signatures
.The American people are sick of process blocking progress. They're fed up with an
arbitrary tradition that allows a minority of Senators to prevent popular, much-
needed legislation from even coming to a vote.

Frankly, so am I.

Please sign this petition to my colleagues in the Senate, supporting the Harkin-Shaheen proposal or other similar proposals to eliminate the crippling 60-vote requirement to overcome a filibuster.

Thank you,

Dick Durbin
U.S. Senator

I don't know, all I know is that I WILL keep signing these things, talking about issues, but my "faith" is all but GONE!

Thanks for the link though!

3. and when the thugs take control again
will we have even a shred of anything to stop the destruction they will cause? I agree, but think it is short sighted. A one step move in the "great game."
