  • It's time to raise the bar on Republican obstruction

    The GOP’s stated goal is to destroy President Obama, and their weapon of choice is the Senate filibuster. This could all begin to change tomorrow when Democrats begin attempts to modify the rules. But they need to know they’ve got your support – and the support of thousands of other grassroots activists demanding change. Stand with Democrats to reform the filibuster.

    Sign our petition. Stand with Democratic senators, and show your support for filibuster reform. The nation’s business shouldn’t be held hostage by GOP political games.

    Republicans have filibustered 203 times since Democrats won the majority in 2007 – twice as often as in the four previous years.

    It’s one thing for Republicans to oppose bills they fundamentally disagree with. It’s quite another for Republicans to block bills they’re on record as supporting – just to prevent President Obama’s success and try to poke Democrats in the eye.

    Now Democrats have the best chance in years to change the GOP's business as usual, and they need your help.

    Sign our petition. Stand with Democratic senators to show your support for filibuster reform!

    Show your support to modify Senate rules so Republicans must own up to their obstinacy. Progress depends on it.

    The majority of Americans are on the other side of this argument. The GOP is doing exactly what they should be doing and while it shouldn't be personal, whatever it takes to stop the Obama nanny state, Socialist agenda is precisely what needs to be done.

      Where are the links showing that the American people are for filibusters.

          The people spoke in the mid term elections and want this Obama agenda reversed.

          That simple.
