Filibuster

The Filibuster is not in the constitution. It is just a Senate rule. Senate rules can be changed. As the Republicans showed this week with the Auto Company bailout, a minority of Southern Right Wing Senators can defie the will of the President, the majority in the House and the Majority in the Senate who were elected by a majority of the American people, and throw 3 million Americans out of work, or whatever else they choose to block. A good democracy cannot work this way. It is time to change Senate rules and get rid of the filibuster forever.
Call your Senator and tell him to vote to change Senate rules as soon as possible.
