Jobs With Justice Tells Wall St. "You Broke It, You Bought It!"
A crowd of 100 gathered in Federal Plaza on March 3, to demand that Congress tax Wall St in order to provide for a jobs bill. The rally was planned while Senator Bunning was filibustering a bill that would have extended unemployment benefits. Now that Bunning has withdrawn his filibuster, organizers used the opportunity to point out how much more needed to be done.
Organizer Susan Hurly explained, "What they did last night to extend unemployment for 30 days is rather pathetic in the light of the crises that we are facing. We are here to say that we need more, we need a federal jobs program" with better and long unemployment benefits. She continued, "Wall Street broke it, they gotta buy it."
The Senate Soup Kitchen intended to highlight the need for a jobs bill.

Please, before using the term fillibuster, look up the definition of what it actually is.
Then, once you have the definition, reread what you wrote. You may want to change your post.
One man does not make up a fullibuster.
