C\u2019est au Congr\u00e8s que les grandes id\u00e9es meurent.<\/p>

There's plenty of smart folks in this country thinking up new ways to help lots of Americans. Once those ideas enter the Capitol, unfortunately, the only way they're coming out is watered down and loaded up with special interest pork, if they make it out at all.<\/p>

One of the biggest reasons for this gridlock is the systematic abuse of the filibuster we've seen in recent years. Now, bills need 60 votes to pass the Senate, and that's 10 more Senators that have to get their Cornhusker Kickback before we can make any real progress.<\/p>

That's because right now, all a Senator has to do to shut down a bill is d\u00e9clarer une obstruction, puis s'\u00e9loigner<\/a>. There's absolutely nothing to stop partisans from filibustering almost chaque<\/em> bill\"and that's exactly what we saw in the 112\u00e8me<\/sup> Le Congr\u00e8s, le moins productif de l\u2019histoire.<\/p>

That's why three reform-minded Senators, Tom Harkin, Jeff Merkley, and Tom Udall, have proposed a return to the \"talking filibuster.\" If a Senator wants to obstruct the legislative process, they should have to publicly stand by what they're doing<\/a> and pay the political price for it. Imagine if Strom Thurmond had the option of filibustering silently\" he might never have been shamed into letting the Civil Rights Act pass.<\/p>

Unfortunately, even these reformers' great idea isn't immune to watering down. Last week, a coalition of Les s\u00e9nateurs de l'establishment ont propos\u00e9 un ensemble de r\u00e9formes des r\u00e8gles beaucoup plus faibles<\/a> destin\u00e9 \u00e0 faire \u00e9chouer le projet Harkin-Merkley-Udall.<\/p>

What's troubling is that there is real momentum for stronger reform that would raise the stakes on a policy of obstruction, and it would be a shame to toss that aside with a temporary watered-down measure that won't make filibustering any harder. Without a talking filibuster requirement, these reforms simply maintain the status quo and would incentivize obstruction for obstruction's sake.<\/p>

That's why today, Common Cause and our partners in the Fix The Senate coalition are holding a day of action. Do your part and prenez le t\u00e9l\u00e9phone maintenant et appelez le 1-866-937-5062 pour faire savoir \u00e0 votre s\u00e9nateur que vous voulez parler d'obstruction<\/strong>. We've come too far to give up now\" it's time to make our voices heard.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nACTION: Let Your Senator Know You Want Real Reform - Common Cause<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/fr\/articles\/action-faites-savoir-a-votre-senateur-que-vous-voulez-une-veritable-reforme\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ACTION: Let Your Senator Know You Want Real Reform\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/fr\/articles\/action-faites-savoir-a-votre-senateur-que-vous-voulez-une-veritable-reforme\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Common Cause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CommonCause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CC-Share-Graphic-Main9.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@CommonCause\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/action-let-your-senator-know-you-want-real-reform\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/action-let-your-senator-know-you-want-real-reform\/\",\"name\":\"ACTION: Let Your Senator Know You Want Real Reform -
