To: The United States Senate
Force the Republicans to Really Filibuster
The undersigned hereby send a clear message to the Democratic leaders of the Senate. We want you to force the Republicans to hold the floor in order to filibuster a vote on a bill. A majority of the senate -- 51 votes is should be enough to pass a bill. No super-majority is necessary on votes that are not constitutionally mandated. Make them embarrass themselves when it comes to obstructing unemployment or public works stimulus or public employee hiring.
Why is this important?
When the Senate is stalled by the phony filibusters it is shameful. It is time to make the Republicans hold the floor to block votes.
