WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released the following statement regarding today's vote in the Senate to invoke cloture on H.J. Res. 59:
"Today's vote by Sen. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats to fully fund Obamacare was yet the latest example of Washington not listening to the people.
"Obamacare is a 'train wreck,' a 'nightmare,' to use the words of its Democratic author and a union leader who previously supported the bill. It is the biggest job killer in America.
"As Teamsters President James Hoffa explained in a letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Obamacare is hurting 'millions of working men and women ... and the families they support,' and it 'will destroy the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans.'
"Senate Democrats refused to listen.

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released the following statement regarding today’s vote in the Senate to invoke cloture on H.J. Res. 59:
“Today’s vote by Sen. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats to fully fund Obamacare was yet the latest example of Washington not listening to the people.
“Obamacare is a ‘train wreck,’ a ‘nightmare,’ to use the words of its Democratic author and a union leader who previously supported the bill. It is the biggest job killer in America.
“As Teamsters President James Hoffa explained in a letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Obamacare is hurting ‘millions of working men and women ... and the families they support,’ and it ‘will destroy the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans.’
“Senate Democrats refused to listen.
“President Obama has granted exemptions for big business and Members of Congress, but Senate Democrats refuse to grant the American people the same exemption. Instead, they used political power to maintain their privileged position while doing nothing to respond to the pleas of millions of Americans.
“But this fight continues. Now the bill returns to the House. The House showed remarkable courage voting to defund Obamacare, and I hope and believe that the House will stand by their resolve and continue to lead the effort to stop the Obamacare train wreck.
“Obamacare is killing jobs, forcing people into part-time work, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket, and threatening the healthcare of millions of Americans.
“Today, far too many Republicans joined Harry Reid in giving the Democrats the ability to fund Obamacare. When the bill comes back to the Senate, when the House yet again stands for principle and fights for the American people, I very much hope that Senate Republicans will rise to the challenge. We are stronger when we are united, and we can defeat Obamacare only if Senate Republicans come together, stand with House Republicans, and champion the millions of Americans being harmed by this disastrous healthcare law.”
Rush just pointed out a terrific point by the ObamaCare Will Collapse Caucus” - if they truly believe that, why are they preventing ANYTHING from implementing?? If they truly believe it will be the disaster it is, why are they approving anything that delays it? Food for thought.
Good for Senator Cruz, he is getting tons of supporters fot the cause. Many have awoken from their slumber and are ready for an epic fight!!!
I want to know if Cornyn voted yes for cloture.
I believe so...
he voted yes with the rest of the democrats
He did.
Yes he did...
Cornyn voted yes for cloture.
Then turned around and voted no on Reid’s ‘clean’ bill.
Now he is going to try to face us Texans and tell us that it is not his fault, he voted against Obamacare.
Nice try, Bozo.... you are outta here. I am going to a rally tomorrow to hear Dwayne Stovall speak. He is TEA Party and has primaries Cornyn. (giggling)
primaried
Cruz for President. Period.
Well, that didn’t go so well, did it?
I think I’ll go calm down over a nice bowl of Pho.
Cruz can stand the heat quite easily. He is proving himself quite worthy of the job.
THANK ALL Y’ALL FOR YOUR UNTIRING EFFORTS TO HARASS AND SOON REPLACE OUR SORRY “GOP SENATORS.”
LET US ENDEAVOR TO CAUSE OUR SORRY GOP SENATORS TO GROW EVEN MORE “INCREASINGLY IRRITATED.”
THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS BORN ON THE US SENATE FLOOR WHEN SENATOR TED CRUZ BEGAN HIS 21 HOUR INSPIRATIONAL FILIBUSTER.
WE IN THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE IN HIS DEBT.
THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY BATTLES TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
WE WILL PREVAIL !
Dr, Ben Carson on Fox now. “The war was won even thought the battle was lost. The Senate wants to impose its will. We must stand firm. We want these people on record who wish to impose their will on us. We can vote them out later. If we had been doing this all along, we would not be dealing with this in the first place. This will require people to forcefully exercise their freedom of speech and their votes at the ballot box.”
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
