Dear Supporter, The American people have spoken and elected Democratic leadership in the White House and Congress. But the far-right is still trying to set the agenda. They want to be able to abuse the filibuster to block every positive piece of legislation the Biden administration and Democrats support. We can’t let that happen. We cannot allow the far-right to hold progressive legislation hostage in the Senate! It is urgent that the new Congress and administration be able to enact legislation that the American people elected them to advance. Sign the petition now and demand that Senate Democrats end the legislative filibuster!>> The right wing has used the filibuster to completely obstruct the agenda of past Democratic administrations. They used it to hamper the Obama administration and right now, it is the biggest hurdle in the way of desperately needed and popular reforms to strengthen democracy and protect Americans’ fundamental rights. Currently, Senate right-wingers are preparing to block measures on a slew of progressive priorities, including the expansion and protection of voting rights, ending violent policing, ending big money in politics, reproductive rights protections, immigrants’ rights, environmental protections, and so much more! Without a change to end the legislative filibuster, the far-right minority will be able to obstruct this and other critical legislation and subvert the will of The People as they have done all too often in the past. Help put an end to filibuster abuse by adding your name to our petition now!>> If we let them, the right will inevitably abuse the filibuster because they think they can gain political points with their base by fighting against these popular measures. By putting an end to the legislative filibuster, we can start passing sweeping progressive policies that will help all our communities. We can’t let the voice of The People be suppressed anymore by a controlling far-right political minority in our country. Let’s get to work! In community, Amol, People For the American Way
