Earlier today Fix Our Senate launched a new seven-figure ad campaign calling on the Senate to eliminate the filibuster to protect our democracy  

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Fix Our Senate, a coalition of nearly 80 organizations committed to eliminating the filibuster, released the following statement from spokesman Eli Zupnick in advance of tomorrow’s expected filibuster of a vote to begin debate on voting rights, campaign finance, and ethics legislation.

"Tomorrow’s vote is a key test of the Senate’s ability to protect our democracy and deliver results for the American people. If a minority of senators abuse the filibuster to prevent the Senate from even debating critical voting rights legislation then the path forward for Senate Democrats becomes crystal clear: Democrats must move quickly to eliminate the filibuster and pass popular voting rights legislation supported by a majority of senators.”
