Has the Senator read "Master of The Senate" and can he comment on any differences in the operation of the body since the days of LBJ? Is his job as Majority Leader different in this more modern era?

Make the public know of all the republican's filibuster.

I never hear about it.. (and i listen to npr wayyy too much) Use the media so the people will know.

Dem's might have better policies, but republicans are better at politics. Senator Read, please work on this. I personally find it sad that one has to deal with this, but I think that America would be better for it.

Good luck.

I like the sound of this guy.

Plus, I believe he said the goal is to really build up on renewable energy once the Senate gets one more supporter (one more Republican). That is great to here - as an environmental activist, I know how important that choice is. Yes to solar, no to nuclear, coal, and (unless proven otherwise) no to biofuels that raise hunger around the world.
