SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Political Reform and Gridlock Elimination Act''. SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE SENATE. It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should-- (1) pass the DISCLOSE Act to prevent a corporate takeover of our elections and ensure that our democracy is open, transparent, and controlled by the people; and (2) reform Senate rules and procedures to reduce excessive obstruction and delay, while protecting the legitimate rights of individual Senators and the minority. ______
