SAVE CONSUMERS’ RIGHT TO SUE CORPORATE LOOTERS & POLLUTERS
This week, Congress will try to fast track proposals to restrict class action lawsuits to federal court, even where existing state remedies might be more effective. Unless you raise your voice now this thing is going to be rammed through in a matter of days. What do you think Congress should do?

PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE U.S. SENATE: SAVE THE FILIBUSTER
From Common Cause: The filibuster has a long history in the Senate of fending off actions supported by a bare majority, but deeply offensive to the minority. If an individual senator were to abuse the privilege of the filibuster, he or she could be over overridden by a super majority of 60 votes.
To remove a long-standing parliamentary maneuver to serve immediate partisan goals violates core democratic values and is an anathema to the Senate's long standing commitment to consensus and a bipartisan deliberative process.
It is wrong to jettison a longtime Senate procedure simply because it is inconvenient to one party’s goals. It is an abuse of power to strip the Senate minority of a tool designed to protect its rights – rights both parties have vociferously defended throughout the Senate’s history
We the undersigned call on the United States Senators not to support changing of long standing Senate filibuster rules to blatantly advance one party’s goals.
