Reform the filibuster (Sen. Bennet)

The real problem is that the filibuster is being abused with
unprecedented frequency. Individuals and parties are using it to
obstruct progress, and the American people are paying the price.

Here are the specifics of my filibuster reform proposal:

• Ends anonymous holds so senators will have to answer to their constituents;
• Requires filibuster supporters to actually show up and vote;
• Filibusters at the beginning of debate will be eliminated so we can get back to the business of deliberating bills; and,
• Creates incentives to encourage bipartisanship and allows bills with bipartisan support to move more quickly.

If you want to help me fix the Senate and get Washington working for you again, click here to contact your senators. Urge them to reform the filibuster today.

The political games that have stopped business in the Senate need to
end — we can do better. Please stand with me, and let’s put Washington
back to work. Tell your senators to support my bill today.
