3. There Should Be No Hesitation On The Part Of The Dems To Change The Filibuster Rule In The Senate...

It should be modified to put pressure on the Repugs and force compromise versus continuing their stonewalling and gridlock. We the people should show our support for this rule change and let the President and Senator Reid know that we have their back and we are in support of the rule change. We need to arm the President and the Dems with all the ammunition we can to move this country Forward.

We have too much to do to wait until 2014 when we can take back the House. We need to begin the process of taking back the House by assuring that we'll be able to get things done and through the Senate.

I'm going to call Senator Reid's office tomorrow to express my support and I urge all Du'ers here to do the same.

Here's the number: 1-202-224-3542

Know this also - if the shoe was on the other foot and Rmoney won this election - the Repugs would change this filibuster rule without even thinking if they had the chance.

If the Dems and the President get this country back on track and moving Forward again - they should have no problem winning the WH again in 2016. We need to work - and start this work right now - to take back the House in 2014.
