Every Dem must vote against the change on Filibuster or....
...those senators voting for filibuster change should be thrown out of the party!

First, I'm not sure if we can filibuster the vote on ending the filibuster ( :crazy: ), but if we can - we definately should. But I've heard that John McCain (R-Ariz) is against this move and I'm assuming that maybe we can get a few other moderate republicans on our side like Collins, Snowe, Chaffee or Specter.

But if the vote is down to 50-50, then we've lost because Cheney, without a doubt, will side with the repukes.

But of all the horrible legislation that has gone through the senate these past 6 years, this is absolutely positively the WORST!!! There is no excuse for ANY democrat to support this legislation unless maybe they aren't really a democrat to begin with. If I was Harry Reid I'd let the senate know to unite against this or get out of the party.
