Petition to End the Filibuster ! -- Senator Dick Durbin

Senator Dick Durbin

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I just visited FedUpWithTheFilibuster.com to sign a petition addressing my Senators, urging them to revisit the outdated filibuster rule, which effectively requires a supermajority to pass virtually any legislation in Washington these days.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

Thank you.
