Petition to end the filibuster

Hey --

I just visited FedUpWithTheFilibuster.com to sign a petition
addressing my Senators, urging them to revisit the outdated
filibuster rule, which effectively requires a supermajority to
pass virtually any legislation in Washington these days.

If you share my belief that it's time to end the filibuster as
we know it, will you speak up and sign the petition, too?

Changing the filibuster is no pipe dream. In fact, back in the
1970's the Senate successfully amended what was a 67-vote
cloture requirement to the current 60-vote requirement. We cannot continue to allow a minority of Senators to paralyze
progress. Together we can restore majority rule and make
Congress work for the American people again.

Please join me and sign the petition at: http://www.FedUpWithTheFilibuster.com

Thank you.
