To: The United States Senate
End the Filibuster with New Congress
When the new U.S. Senate convenes in January 2013, the Senate, by a simple majority vote, can change any or all the rules in place for that upcoming two-year session. It's time for the Senate to end the filibuster and get on with getting the people's work done, letting the senators' voting records stand for themselves in the next election. Change the senate rules in January and end the super majority filibuster.
Why is this important?
The US Senate is steeped in tradition. One of these traditions is keeping old rules and regulations that hinder the country as a hold. The worst of these rules is the US Senate Filibuster. In the Republic of the United States, we vote for Majority Rule, not SUPER MAJORITY. If the founders wanted SUPER MAJORITIES, it would have been included in the constitution. The over use of the US Senate Filibuster, by both parties is gridlocking the country and holds everyone hostage to a rouge group or to one single Senator and the end result is nothing gets done.
