There are so many more reasons why this filibuster is important. Feel free to list your reasons. For once, I'd like to see our party unite. For once, I'd like to see our party stand up and say enough is enough. We are done being shit on, this country is done being shit on. You are going to work with us and we are going to make this country better. For the love of God, can we just once have a party that is willing to stand together and support each other. For once, can we speak with one voice. This is the message that needs to be sent to our leaders.
