While there is still time call, email your Senators re "Open" filibuster. Stop the "Phone-in" F/B

In the Senate the Dems are considering what action to take regarding the filibuster rule. If you think it would be better if those who want to filibuster do so by taking the floor for an "open" talking filibuster call andor email your Senators while there is still time.


IF the Repubs want obstruct disruption and destruction of all governance (of a Democratic sort) they should have to do it in the light of day - or, at least in the light of a television camera - for all Americans to see.

I think it's important to apply what pressure we can on Dems though, if we want to see this done.
