Fwd: Fwd: I've Seen Enough

Dear Folks See below.  Sign petition. I hope you are ashamed of our disfunctional government as I am. John G

Dear Toni, Today nearly 100 organizations delivered a message to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Enough is enough. In January, Senate leaders had the chance to reform the Senate rules and end the abuse of the filibuster. Instead, they agreed on a weak compromise. As a result, it is business as usual. A determined, radical, obstructionist minority is abusing the rules, requiring a 60 vote supermajority for nearly every piece of legislation and nearly every nomination. It can't continue this way. Sign the petition to tell Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell that it is time to end the obstruction. Our federal court system is in crisis because judges cannot be appointed. Agencies that safeguard workers rights, ensure the safety of our air and water and make sure that banks don't mislead consumers cannot function effectively because key leaders can't be confirmed. The inability of the Senate to confirm judicial and executive branch nominees hurts our democracy every day. It's time to fix the Senate. Sign the petition today. www.fixthesenatenow.org/rules-petition In Unity, Beth Allen Online Communications Director A Project of Communications Workers of America 501 Third Street NW Washington, DC 20001 www.cwa-union.org Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC.
