Fix the Senate Now – Call Your Senators Today
Call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your Senators to fix the Senate rules now. Then let us know how your call went.
The current rules that govern the Senate are hurting our democracy. Obscure rules allow just a handful of Senators to railroad key legislation and hold progress for working families’ hostage.
Why is it so critical to fix the Senate rules? Landmark legislation to improve workers’ rights, civil rights, and climate justice has been derailed in recent years as a result of Republican members of the Senate taking advantage of arcane rules and abusing the filibuster. Republicans derailed energy and climate legislation, halted the DREAM Act, which passed the House while receiving 55 votes in the Senate, and blocked any debate on the Employee Free Choice Act, which passed the House with an overwhelming majority and garnered 59 supporters in the Senate.
There’s finally a chance to update the Senate rules, make the legislative process more transparent, and help move our country forward. But we need to act now – so join with us –and place a call to Fix the Senate Now.
Call the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your Senators to fix the Senate rules now. Then let us know how your call went.
If your call is answered, say: I am calling to ask that the Senator support Senate rules reform, including returning to a talking filibuster.
Enough is enough. We have a chance to stop the gridlock – but only if we do our part by calling our Senators and pressing them to fix the rules. It only takes a few minutes. Please make your voice heard today!
