Elizabeth Warren: The First Week in January


The Huffington Post has the article from Elizabeth Warren – The First Week in January.  It ends with the following call to action:

On the first day of the new session in January, the senators will have a unique opportunity to change the filibuster rule with a majority vote, rather than the normal two-thirds vote. The change can be modest: If someone objects to a bill or a nomination in the United States Senate, they should have to stand on the floor of the chamber and defend their opposition.

I’m joining Senator Jeff Merkley and six other newly elected senators to pledge to lead this reform on Day One, and I hope you’ll be right there with us. Our campaign didn’t end on Election Day — and I’m counting on you to keep on working each and every day to bring real change for working families. This is the first step.

What can we do to support this effort by Elizabeth Warren?  Perhaps we can start by making this post of hers go viral.  We have to use the power we have which derives from our numbers.  Make sure all the other Senators know how much the public supports this effort.
