GOVERNMENT, Reader writes of Senate, Congress

Washington is broken and arcane. Senate rules, such as the filibuster, are being abused to halt progress. Unprecedented obstructionism in the Senate, has blocked Congress from taking real action to protect working class families.

The fight, for American jobs and a clean energy economy, shows just exactly how closely abuse of the filibuster is tied to special interest, corporate money, and big polluters. The U.S. Senate has been paralyzed by gridlock. But with a new Congress starting in the New Year, we can fix it, we need to eliminate these abuses.

I hope, each American will stand up, and made their voices heard, God bless us all.
