Get rid of the filibuster;get rid of the Senate!

Not only can a minority of Senators filibuster a bill to death, not only is the senate an unrepresentative body where the Senator from Montana (750,000 population) has an equal voice with the senator from California (38 million population); not only do senators act as paid shills for the mighty corporations that truly run this country; not only that these senators are millionaires many times over; not only were they put in the Constitution to stop the will of the majority--these folks, are, for the ,most part vapid, soulless creatures.

My solution--abolish the Senate--have a unicameral legislature like Nebraska, with only a house of representatives. Rich folks are afraid of popular rule but they need it for their own good because our empire is going down with their continued misrule!
