Two measures that can help preserve American democracy.

In my opinion, getting rid of the filibuster is necessary to prevent control by the minority. That cannot be permitted in a democracy.

Secondly, it is necessary to have a strong but fair justice system. If some folks are "above the law", the justice system cannot work. They would lose all credibility.

We need to strengthen our justice system and do away with the filibuster. In my opinion, those two measures would help to preserve our democracy.

1. We need Campaign Finance Reform.

Until that happens our Democracy is bought and sold by the rich and powerful.

3. I believe that is addressed in S1,

Sheldon Whitehouse put it in the bill I believe. Well, at least a part of campaign finance reform, getting dark money out of politics.

2. Back in college in 1968

my professor told us that we have 2 systems of justice, one for the rich and one for the poor. Nothing has changed since then.

4. "getting rid of the filibuster" I just heard the fillibuster has been "modifyed" 186 times over the

course of our 244 year Republic. The Filibuster is not written in stone... It has changed to suite the time and the TIME IS NOW!!

5. K/R We could use another decent, large media

outlet to help get the message out as well- radio, TV, online, whatever. Won't some prominent figure like Tom Steyer get on board with this?
