They have shown they want to eliminate our democracy now so they will kill the filibuster and then pass laws that guarantee a permanent Republican majority unless Dems pass laws right now to prevent this.

We can never give them power again & we have that ability only by ending the filibuster.

Save our Democracy first, please!
