My Filibuster Reform Call to Senator Reid 202-224-3542

On November 18, 2013, I called 202-224-3542 and left a message requesting that Senator Reid reforms the filibuster rules with a member of his staff. 



Reforming the rules is also called the Nuclear Option. "Under the nuclear option, or the constitutional option, the party in charge can use procedural maneuvers to set new precedents, then change the rules with a simple majority of 51." Credit - Huffington Post

Please call Reid and record your call if you get a live person please inform them that you are recording the conversation. After the live call or if you leave a message please post it online using CNN-IReports, social media, facebook, twitter, blogs etc.

Senator Reid lets get it done for President Obama . Once President Obama signs a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill majorities for Republicans in House and Senate or in the Whitehouse will not occur for the next forty years or more (Glenn Beck) on his now cancelled Fox show.

We can't change the hearts and minds of RACIST GOP leaders who on October 1, 2013 shutdown the federal government. Neither can we change the minds of Republicians in the House and Senate who are determined to denied President Obama a successful presidency or the right to appoint qualified judicial nominees.

Reid made a deal with Mitch McConnell as its relates to filibusters that Senate Republicans have viloated. Therefore is is time that we DEMAND that our party used every weapon available including the nuclear option to crush the REPUBLICAN PARTY unrelentless opposition to President Obama's legitimacy and their failure to honor senate agreements.

Senator Reid Force the Republican to Filibuster The American Job Act Again

I believe that it is time for Reid, President Obama, and the Democrats to fight for the passing of the entire American Job Act bill as hard and successfully as George W. Bush and the Republicans fought to confirm John Roberts as Chief Justice of the United Supreme.

I oppose breaking the bill into provision and bringing those individual provisions up for a vote in the Senate. Reid should schedule the entire bill again and Pres Obama and Democratic national committee, Moveon.org and other progressive groups should all run ads showing how often the Republicans have abused the filibuster to prevent President Obama from delivering on his 2008 campaign promises.

Bringing the entire bill up again in the Senate and making the Republicans and two (fake) Democrats vote once again to deny allowing debate on the bill in the Senate will ultimately help to pass the bill. Senators who oppose doing everything humanly possible to ease the suffering of 14 million unemployment Americans a second time will be hard pressed to explain those votes during national and world wide new coverage of their continued dysfunctional party. Additionally, their action will lead to the re-election of President Obama in 2012.
