Whereas:
The Senate filibuster is a vital component of our constitutional republic that protects minority rights;
and
Whereas:
Freedom-loving Americans have relied on the Senate filibuster time and
again
to defeat legislation that would further curtail our liberties and expand
government power; and
Whereas:
The
filibuster has protected workers and taxpayers from
destructive Big Labor power grabs like the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill;
Whereas:
I am very concerned about reports that you are considering some sort of "halfway measure" deal with Majority Leader Reid on the filibuster issue;
Therefore: In the interests of freedom, I urge you to reject any plans for a so-called "deal," and instead oppose any and all efforts to weaken or eliminate the Senate Filibuster.
