Black leaders take action against Dems supporting filibuster

They're doing what Congressional Democrats should be doing to fight it instead of just giving it lip service: A huge ad campaign saying supporting the filibuster is racist. It is most effective, in part because it's true. If only our representatives had the courage to do something like this, actually putting our money where their mouth is. I guess it depends on who is giving them the money and how much.

"Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil rights leader and former presidential candidate, said in an interview that he and others have begun talks to hold town halls and rallies in the home states of senators such as Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), who have said they oppose scrapping the filibuster. 'The pressure that we are going to put on Sinema and Manchin is calling [the filibuster] racist and saying that they are, in effect, supporting racism,' Sharpton said. 'Why would they be wedded to something that has those results? Their voters need to know that.'"
