Call to Action. Make those F^&*ers Stand to Filibuster.
I've always thought the way to pass the entire Democratic agenda is simply to require the Repubs to stand and talk their way through a true filibuster. Make them stand there through the holidays, if necessary. (Of course, they won't. We'd get our way in two days and that would end their filibuster strategy.)

Why don't Democrats do it? The answer can only be that Dems are beholden to the same monied interests. I'll always be a Dem: I feel that while Repubs NEVER do the right thing, Dems do 51% of the time.

Still, Harry Reid, stop this farce. If you want to pass middle class tax cuts, let those f&^%ers stand and defend borrowing from China for millionaires tax cuts. After a day or two, you'll see them magically cave.

Call Harry Reid (202) 544-5632 and tell him the Repubs need to stand and do a real filibuster.

1. It should have been done MONTHS ago!! BEFORE the midterms..so the public could see the repukes for
what they really are...too late now. No matter what happens, the repukes take control in January.
