To: The United States Senate
Make the filibuster a real filibuster
Please reform the filibuster so that if Senators want to block a bill with endless “debate," they are required to stand on the floor of the Senate and make their case to the American people with a real, talking filibuster.
Why is this important?
Too often, good ideas die in the Senate even when they have majority support because a single Senator can tie up the process and prevent an up-or-down vote. They can do this not by mounting an impassioned lengthy floor speech, but by making one quick call and then heading out to dinner.
If Senators want to filibuster, they should be required to stand on the floor and make their case to the American people with a real, talking filibuster.
Please, sign our petition in support of making the filibuster a real, talking filibuster.
