Senator Cruz, a real patriot, cannot do it alone. It takes 60 votes against cloture. Some of the stupid Republicans will vote with the Dems and will get the 60 votes.
Unless people can put extreme pressure on their senators, the Senate will throw out what the House passed and all is lost.
Too many people are too busy to call their senators and demand they stand with Cruz, Lee, etc.

I think we need 41 Senators to vote against cloture in order to defund Obamacare. How many R’s do we have? Looks like 46. So no more than 5 R’s can vote for cloture.
If the phones aren’t being answered in DC maybe we need to congregate in numbers at our Senators’ local offices. Maybe we should do that anyway. Every R who hasn’t promised to vote against cloture needs to feel the heat. And by “heat” I mean the intensity. They need to know that we care enough to get off our duffers and make ourselves heard.
Any Nebraskans willing to show up with “Defund Obamacare” signs in Lincoln at Johanns’ office at 100 Centennial Mall N, and/or Deb Fischer’s office at 440 N 8th St Suite 120? Possibly tomorrow?
