What doomed the Federalist Party was an effort among its members to attmpt to negotiate behind James Madison's with the British over the War of 1812. After this, the party never had ballot access in every state and therefore never fielded fully national candidates. Why, because they violated Article 2 of the constitution in a manner persons of good will could construe as treason.
How do we, as Democrats, respond to the latest in six years of partisan obstructionism by the Senate GOP Caucus, the point in which the Repubs actually crossed the line into violating Article 2 in treasonous manner?
Below the fold is how I intend to respond and encourage response as a constituent of one of the 47 signers, the clearly dehydrated gentleman from Florida, Marco Rubio.
