HIJACKING DEMOCRACY

In order to bring you the federal shut down, the Republicans quietly voted to give the HOUSE LEADER THE RIGHT TO VETO certain LEGISLATION. This VIOLATES THE US CONSTITUTION.

Only the US President has the constitutional right to veto legislation. But House Resolution 368 states that the majority leader is the ONLY PERSON THAT CAN ALLOW a full House vote on certain legislation. 

This is like giving ONE MAN the right to filibuster certain legislation. Unlike the almost equally stupid Senate filibuster rules, there is NO WAY for the House to vote to force the majority leader to allow certain legislation to go forward.

THIS CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND. It violates the rock bottom values of our constitutional democracy. 

Our system of government was set up so that there is a BALANCE OF POWER between the Senate, the House, the President, and the US Supreme Court. House resolution 368 substantially changes this balance of power. 

DO EVERYTHING you can think of (short of violence) to force the House of Representatives to GET RID OF House Resolution 368.

THE DEMOCRACY YOU SAVE WILL BE YOUR OWN!
