We need a change


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!
