Thousands of progressive activists are rallying for Senate rules reform today, spreading the word about an important package of common sense reforms that will reduce opportunities for obstruction and end the silent filibuster.

CWA has a leading role in the Democracy Initiative, as progressive groups are banding together to build a national campaign around three goals: getting big money out of politics, fighting voter suppression and restoring voting rights and reforming the broken Senate rules.

The November 2012 elections have come and gone, but voter suppression isn?t going away. The New Year has ushered in a new wave of attacks on Americans' voting rights.

Activists are keeping the heat on their senators to ?Fix the Senate Now,? with another Day of Action and phone calls to Capitol Hill underway today.

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid entered direct talks with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, as momentum grows for substantive Senate rules reform.
