HOW TO FILIBUSTER 101




If you want to see how an actual filibuster is done, turn to C-SPAN 2 or log on to c-span.org or http://sanders.senate.gov/ and watch Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) show how it is done. He began at 9:25 AM CT.

Senator Bernie Sanders is filibustering the Obama Tax Cut plan that would extend unemployment benefits for 13 months and in exchange the Bush Tax Cuts are extended for 2 years for ALL income levels (H.R. 4853).

If you are going to filibuster, do not use it as an empty threat to just block a vote, actually engage in discussion.

The Senate floor is yours, Senator Sanders.
