I’d like to talk to you today about why I believe we must get rid of the filibuster. This is not a decision I came to lightly, but I believe the stakes are far too high for inaction.
Democrats have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the lives of millions of Americans. We have only held the House, Senate and White House for four of the past 28 years.
Now is our moment to make good on the promises we made to the American people—to do what we were elected to do . That means rebuilding our nation’s crumbling infrastructure and investing in an economic recovery that helps all Americans, not just massive corporations.
That means saving our democracy and fighting voter suppression by passing the For the People Act in the face of Republican-led voter suppression bills sweeping the country.
That means protecting reproductive rights and passing the Women's Health Protection Act to stop the extreme abortion bans in states like Texas.
Add your name if you agree: We MUST get rid of the filibuster and deliver real results for the American people [[link removed]]
Let me be clear—I pride myself on working across the aisle to get things done. I can find common ground with just about anyone in Washington. But we cannot afford to allow Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans to abuse an undemocratic Senate procedure to prevent progress on critically important and widely popular legislation.
If you agree that it’s time for the Senate to get rid of the filibuster, please add your name now. [[link removed]]
I want to be candid: We don’t yet have unanimous support among Democrats to do away with the filibuster. We don’t have the votes today, and we likely won’t have the votes next week, either.
But I promise you I’m working hard to build the case for why this is urgently needed. And I so appreciate you standing with me in this fight.
Thank you,
Kirsten
