1. Now's the time. Since sig lines are off now, posting mine. It applies. |

If Frist THREATENS to get rid of the filibuster at every mention of one, isn't that basically already banning the filibuster? Call his bluff. Make him STFU about it or go on record as taking that step toward tyranny! Hold bullies accountable! Letting them win by default is no strategy.

this has the potential to effect us, our kids, and their kids for a very, very long time. Workers rights - limited. Civil rights - limited. Freedom...our big claim to fame - limited.
Pull a filibuster NOW!

Kissing bullies' butts is NOT a position of strength! People like STRONG. Time to stand up for the core values!
