John —

Time and time again this year, the GOP has used the filibuster to block critical pieces of legislation from becoming law. First, it was the For the People Act, now it’s the Freedom to Vote Act — both historic pieces of legislation that would protect our democracy.

Contrary to popular belief, the filibuster was NOT a part of the Founding Fathers’ vision for government procedure. Instead, it was created almost entirely by accident. But since its creation, it has been used repeatedly to block progressive legislation that protects many of Americans’ most important rights.

I’m calling for an end to the filibuster. If you’re with me, will you add your name to my petition?

Democrats are fighting to pass progressive policies that benefit hard-working Americans. But with every chance they get, the GOP continues using dirty tricks to obstruct the democratic process.

I’m calling for an end to the filibuster. If you’re with me and my team in this fight, will you sign our petition? 

Thank you for joining the fight, John.

Sincerely, 

Eric Swalwell
