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 tuy\u00ean b\u1ed1 c\u1ea3n tr\u1edf, sau \u0111\u00f3 b\u1ecf \u0111i<\/a>. There's absolutely nothing to stop partisans from filibustering almost m\u1ecdi<\/em> bill\"and that's exactly what we saw in the 112th<\/sup> Qu\u1ed1c h\u1ed9i c\u00f3 n\u0103ng su\u1ea5t th\u1ea5p nh\u1ea5t trong l\u1ecbch s\u1eed.<\/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 C\u00e1c Th\u01b0\u1ee3ng ngh\u1ecb s\u0129 th\u00e0nh l\u1eadp \u0111\u00e3 \u0111\u1ec1 xu\u1ea5t m\u1ed9t b\u1ed9 quy t\u1eafc c\u1ea3i c\u00e1ch y\u1ebfu h\u01a1n nhi\u1ec1u<\/a> c\u00f3 \u00fd \u0111\u1ecbnh ph\u00e1 ho\u1ea1i g\u00f3i 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.
