Take Action To Fix The Filibuster

Fix the Filibuster!
Our country faces serious problems. And serious problems deserve serious consideration.

But far too often, we've seen good ideas stall in the Senate because a single Senator can stop everything and block an up-or-down vote without a single word uttered on the Senate floor.

Passionate debate is a good thing.

Which is why I've proposed a "talking filibuster"--a requirement that if a Senator is going to block a vote by arguing that more debate is needed, then he or she must do so by taking the floor and making a case to the American people.

That way, the American people can judge for themselves whether the obstruction makes those Senators heroes, or bums.

And when debate stops, it's time for an up-or-down majority vote.

Please join me and Senators Tom Udall, Kirsten Gillibrand, Tom Harkin and Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren in this fight to reform the Senate by signing our petition.

In a few short weeks, we can make this change happen. But it won't be easy.

And it's going to require that the American people speak with one, clear, loud voice.

Take action now: Tell the Senate to fix the filibuster.
