To: The United States Senate
Change Senate filibuster rules
Every Democratic US senator should vote to change the Senate rules on the 1st day of the 2013 Senate session, eliminating the current filibuster rule.
Why is this important?
The first day of the 2013 session is the only time the Senate can vote to change the rules it operates under. Currently any Senator can just phone in an exception, and the targeted bill or action will need a supermajority (65%) to pass. A simple majority of Democratic senators can change this rule, but only on the first day. If you voted for President Obama, circulate this action so the Senators comply!
