We need to stop the fillibuster 60% is not fair in senate votes! We have good representation but its stolen on everything that is good for the public with this crap! One senator from farm ville with 300,000 brainwashed nra members can block anything they dont like! This has destroyed fairness, and majority rule in America. Lets stop the Filibuster rule! We need majority rule in America, we are the majority The 99%er"s
I agree with eliminating the Filibuster 100% The more difficult it is for Congress to pass popular laws, the more power the lobbyists and corporate whores have to direct things behind the scenes.
Start from the beginning and remove the money. If we did that then every politician running for office would be a conscious representative of the people and we will eliminate any one percent who wants to buy in. When that happens then the use of the filibuster will be used for moral reasons. Easier to deal with.
I think the filibuster is good when democrats use it. Republicans represent the 1 percent. Get rid of the money in politics and there won't be any incentive to favorite power over the people.
well said, but filibuster does unfairly weigh the scale to the 1 percent.
Two part petition. Part one - ban all lobbyists. Part 2 - ban all contributions. Then vote out the politicians who don't go along with it.
What do you think of the filibuster? I feel like its a way to stop whats fair and rite! We need majority rule that's democracy
