Fix the Senate Now

This in from the Sierra Club; the first is a link for people to call the senate, who will vote on their rules on January 5. The second link is to Fix the Senate Now.org so you can read more if you want. There is little time. The senate didn't pass even one of the 12 appropriations bills for 2011 to help the economy; that's just wrong. There's a toll free number provided and a form to fill out once you reach your senator's office. Please call and tell the senators in your state that you're tired of obstructionist tactics, secret holds, and filibusters that can be made by a single absentee senator in secrecy! This is not the purpose or function of filibuster. The senate only needs 51 votes to pass or change rules. Please let them know it's time to fix the senate. While we're at it, let's tell them we want a rule passed that it's required they actually READ the bills they pass. If they had read the bloated tax relief and hidden bills act, I doubt it would have been voted on, as is. We can afford no more mistakes or greedy takeovers that will forever change our lives and our world.
