John, 

Right now, the filibuster is blocking the Senate from even debating the For the People Act — but one in three Americans don't even know what the filibuster is all about. 

But for all the talk the filibuster gets, do you know what it is and how the Senate uses it? 

We created this new quiz to put your knowledge to the test. Take the quiz now to see how much you know about the filibuster. Then share it with your circles so they can take the quiz as well.

If one thing is certain, it’s that protecting the filibuster is not more important than repairing our dying democracy. 

Senators have until August 16th to pass the For the People Act before state politicians rig voting maps for the next decade. Lawmakers have a duty to vote on the For the People Act as soon as humanly possible. And with this single archaic Senate procedure blocking them from getting it done, they must do whatever is necessary to get around it and pass this bill. 

But what do you really know about this oft-mentioned Senate procedure? Take RepresentUs’ brand new quiz right now to get the truth on the filibuster and how the Senate uses it today. Then, share it on social media so that others can take it as well and get the same vital information about our political system.

Enjoy the quiz and talk soon,
