To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Make them filibuster
We urge the Democratic Party members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to call the bluff of the Republicans whenever they threaten to filibuster an important progressive bill, and force them to actually carry out the filibuster. This would effectively end that tactic which has stalemated the ability of our government to govern, and has held the American public hostage to a conservative minority.
Why is this important?
Republicans have blocked numerous progressive bills by merely threatening to filibuster. The American public is being held hostage by a conservative minority. Democrats should call their bluff and force them to actually filibuster. If they had to actually filibuster every bill they want to block this tactic would quickly become ineffective, as well as creating a significant negative reaction among the American people.
