Urgent Petition
Joe vs. the American People
In 1995, Sen. Joe Lieberman - then a member of the minority party in the Senate - took a risk by proposing legislation to curtail use of the filibuster. The bill, co-sponsored with Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), would have ended the Senate filibuster as we know it, making it easier to pass legislation through the famously slow-to-act U.S. Senate. That was then.
Now, in 2009, Joe Lieberman is preparring to be the only person standing between health insurance reform and the American people. He is threatening to be a one-man filibuster, preventing Connecticut voters from having a voice on health insurance reform. Sign the petition reminding Joe that he opposes the use of the filibuster.
