The filibuster is an outrageous vehicle used exclusively to
prevent the implementation of legislation desired by a majority of the
lawmakers in Congress. It is absolutely absurd that 41 senators can completely sabotage
the implementation of legislation approved by 59 senators! Where is the justice
or the adherence to democratic principles where the will of 41 senators
overrides the will of 59 senators? We the voters are sick and tired of a
congress which can accomplish nothing!!! The rules in congress are obviously
skewed to ensure that nothing can be accomplished! The whole concept of a
filibuster or the use of any other ‘congressional vehicle’ which can prevent an
established majority from passing legislation should be illegal. I am sure that
the ‘congressional rules’ can and should be changed to eliminate, destroy or
otherwise prevent such obstructionist vehicles in either the senate or the
house of representatives. If you agree with this, write your senator and house
representative and demand that they clean up their mess so that the minority can
no longer control congress!
