This is a huge week in our fight to fix the filibuster and shine a light on relentless Republican obstruction in the Senate.
There are key votes tomorrow and we need your help to end the gridlock. The GOP is refusing to allow President Obama to pick his team and Majority Leader Harry Reid is ready to do something about it.
Call your Senators now at 1-866-937-5062 and ask them to end the gridlock and make Washington work for working and middle-class families. Below is a quick script for your conversation. Please report back to us in the comments!
There’s a lot at stake with the environment, workers’ rights, public safety and consumer protections from Wall Street left unprotected while President Obama’s nominees wait in limbo. It’s time for Democrats in the Senate to stop playing by an old set of rules. It’s time for them to stand up and make the Senate work for the people. Senator Harry Reid is standing strong, and we need to get his back in the fight to end the gridlock tomorrow.
Call your Senators at 1-866-937-5062.
Use the script below as a guide for your conversation:
Hello, my name is ________ from ________and I am calling in support of Senator Harry Reid’s plan to end the gridlock in the Senate by allowing a simple majority vote on President Obama’s nominations.
As the Senate debates key nominations to the EPA, NLRB, CFPB and the Department of Labor, please support Senate rules reform that will allow a majority vote on Executive Branch nominations.
As your constituent, I am asking you to please use your influence to change the rules of the Senate and create a government that will truly work for the people.
Thank you for your time and for representing my concerns.
