We’ve stepped up our campaign for Senate rules reform with a
petition drive. Please sign our petition
urging Senators to cosponsor Senate Resolution 4. The resolution makes several key changes to
Senate rules to end the unprecedented obstruction that has brought the business
of the Senate almost to a halt.
One piece of progressive legislation after another has been
killed by filibuster. Scores of judicial
nominations have been delayed – and now some Republicans may use the filibuster against President Obama’s Cabinet nominees.
Without
rules reform, the gridlock continues. That means the fate of almost every other
big issue before Congress – from gun control to who sits on the federal bench
to who leads the most important agencies in the executive branch - may depend
on the outcome of the rules reform fight.
