Senate Democrats standing to guard your voice« Thread Started on May 9, 2005, 10:54am »--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Senate Democrats are standing up to protect your voice in Congress and to keep our judiciary fair and independent. They are protecting our rights by stopping a handful of Bush nominees with records that put them far outside of the mainstream. But Republicans aren't satisfied with the 95 percent of Bush nominees who have been confirmed.So they plan to eliminate the filibuster, a 200-year-old Senate tradition that protects the voice of Americans represented by the minority party. They want to push through every single Bush nominee, no matter what their records look like. It's a grab for complete control over every branch of our government, the destruction of the checks and balances that make our democracy strong.Take ActionJoin the fight today!
