Believe in, including the ability for people that come from conservative states to have a greater voice in congress but really to protect the minority. whatever your position is on an issue, the 60 vote rule protects you and your ability as a member of the senate, protects my ability to advocate on behalf of my constituents, makes my vote count and i would tell you that what a sad day in our country in which we lose something that is designed to bring us together. 606 votes mean the republicans and democrats have to agree at least in part. we ve never had 60 conservatives, 60 republicans in the senate. occasionally the democrats have 60. today in the evenly divided senate it clearly means there has to be bipartisan cooperation to get a result and it brings the country together, not pulls us apart. if we goat the point in which everything is decided by 51 votes it means that everything is designed will be decided based upon partisan politics. the country will be further divided. every ....
