Save the filibuster

Online petitions don't really do any good, but thought I would point this out anyway. If you feel particularly inspired, you can donate funds to help run ads (presumably in vulnerable Republican senators' states). I would except, you know, the fatalism and despising humanity thing. It _is_ a particularly pernicious attempt at consolidating power, and a hypocritical one at that. Most pundits say that if the neocons succeed, dems will bring government to a standstill. I'm sort of unclear what exactly they can do without the filibuster, but presumably there are still procedural games they can play to stall things.
