Can Someone explain this to me? And sign petition!

[Maraya1969]

I do not know what they are planning to do. Are the Democratic senators going to READ each and every petition so as to create a filibuster on the filibuster? This is one of several emails I've gotten about ongoing filibustering - the initial one being to filibuster colleges and other public places.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS TYPE OF PROTESTING IS GOING TO WORK. PLEASE SOMEONE DUMB IT DOWN FOR ME!


Emergency Petition to Save the Courts


Senator Bill Frist has pulled the trigger on the "nuclear option." We now have less than 72 hours to stop him from seizing absolute power to stack the courts — including the Supreme Court. The vote is still too close to call. If we raise our voice, we can win.
We've launched an emergency petition we'll be delivering to congress every three hours, from Monday morning until the final vote is complete. Our allies will read your comments on the Senate floor, and every senator will know the American people are standing ready to hold them accountable. Please sign today:

"The Senate must oppose the "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster, and preserve the checks and balances that have kept our courts fair and independent for centuries."
