CRUZADE: DEFUNDING EFFORT NEARING 30 VOTES IN SENATE

Mike Flynn

According to Hill sources, over 20 GOP Senators are set to buck Leadership on Friday and reject this procedural game, by voting against cloture. By some accounts, up to 30 Senators could vote against GOP Leadership, which would represent an existential crisis within the caucus.

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

I’m assuming this latest list is accurate, which shows what position the Senators are leaning.

http://www.dontfundobamacare.com/

Be weary of those Senators that try to vote against Cloture not because they stand with Cruz, but to save their hide if it becomes apparent that their vote isn’t needed to give Harry Reid what he wants, allowing them political cover.(i.e. Jeff Flake, if this information is correct)

From Flynn’s lips to God’s ear, I pray.

Burn the lines down longer, louder and, please, call more reps.

List up. We need 41.

Hope floats.

I’m for a Miracle on 34th Street type moment for Cruz’s efforts. Keep up the efforts. We need to get as many people in as many states as we can to keep contacting Senators. I’m pretty sure I’m near the 80+ mark. I even sent Barbara Boxer and Diane Frankenstein one. I know they’re going straight to the Trash bin because the don’t care what real Americans think; only their liberal gay and Muzzie friends but at least I did my part.
