[ [link removed] ]Demand an endo to the filibuster! Sign now! >>

People For Member,

Few things in Congress pose a greater threat to fulfilling a progressive
agenda than one thing: a harmful procedural rule to prevent voting on a
bill known as the ‘filibuster.’ Dating back more than 150 years, this rule
has in recent decades been used to block votes on significant legislation
– and will be used by the far-right as a weapon against progressive
legislation in the new Congress.

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.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to DEMAND that Senate Democrats end the legislative
filibuster! >>

The right wing has used the filibuster to obstruct the agenda of past
Democratic administrations and make no mistake they intend to do it again
– with all the finesse of a battering ram against any landmark progressive
legislation Democrats seek to pass this Congress. It is quickly becoming
the biggest hurdle in the way of desperately needed and popular reforms
that would strengthen our democracy and protect Americans’ fundamental
rights.

Right at this moment, 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 – to name a few!

Without a change to end the legislative filibuster, the far-right minority
will once again obstruct this and other critical legislation – subverting
the will of The People as they have done all too often in the past.

[ [link removed] ]We must put an end to the madness – tell the Senate to put an END to
filibuster abuse! >>

If we are unsuccessful in putting an end to the filibuster it may spell
disaster for many of our greatest legislative proposals and we CANNOT let
that happen.

outdated and exploited rule >>

Thanks for all you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
