In 1959 The Filibuster Threshold was 67, Liberals changed it in 1975
to 60. Lets change it in 2009 to 54!
It only takes a simple majority to do it!

Write your representatives and let them know this, why let a small
minority rule what the majority of Americans want?

Excerpt
Obama is on a short leash at this point. His fans, and I was one of
those who was willing to give him a shot last November,
are mostly giving up on him. Activists are already turning on him. My
union friends are disgusted. My African-American friends
just shake their heads in dismay. Liberal friends act embarrassed. A
leftist friend, retired, who devoted a month to campaigning
for Obama full time now writes angry letters almost weekly to Obama's
former campaign manager David Plouffe and others,
blasting Obama's handling of the bank crisis and his Afghan War plans.
Clearly Obama cannot continue to appease
Republicans and cater to Blue Dogs in Congress and expect to be re-
elected in 2012.

It's nice to see someone who's so proud of his stance that he not only
posts through an anonymous proxy, he uses an anonymous email service.

Way to go!

That was Sen, Dr, Frists nuclear option.
(Remember him? He incorrectly diagnosed Terry Schiavo)

I suggest a better option.

Let them filibuster till they fall, then pass the bill with only a 51
vote majority needed
