"Live on the Senate floor, I'm talking about our democracy, how it works, and why we urgently need to protect the right to vote.

I think it's past time that we reform the filibuster to make sure the world's greatest deliberative body actually deliberates the issues and challenges facing the American people.

Because today--Senate procedure too often keeps us from that kind of deliberation.

What each of us has to do is decide if our democracy comes before Senate procedure--and then cast our votes.

I've made my decision, and here's what I believe--we cannot let the filibuster stop us from protecting every American's right to vote."
