"This must be the case, because I saw a "commercial" earlier today (put out by People For The American Way) asking us to call our reps to stand for the pro-filibuster status quo."
I saw a "commercial" as well, some guy claiming to be a republican and liked that President and Congress were republicans, but it is a two party system and we need to maintain the filibuster for the naysayers.
I did not see who funded it...
I'm in Bham Al, and saw the same commercial, the last few days, repeatly.
I thought, What??? "You aren't a Republican...get off my TV"!!!
