Thanks so much!

[Liberty Valance]

He’s been speaking for 10-11 hours?

Now reading Hobby Lobby letter - Cruz ties in Toby Keith’s song with the Hobby Lobby letter. Our founding fathers came here to establish religious freedoms. You may not share the same values/positions as the CEO of Hobby Lobby, but the Bill of Rights guarantees that that religious liberty is protected.

Now brings up the military chaplain in Alaska and his comment about no atheists in foxholes and the hotwater that got him in.

[Hoodat]

Now Cruz is reading Courtesy of the Red White and Blue by Toby Keith.

Someone needs to hand him a copy of Atlas Shrugged.

[onyx]

I sometimes sleep 24 hours. (Yikes).
Feeling a whole lot better now.
Thanks so much.

Well I’m in Pa ‘Casey’ is a piece of furniture.....’Toomey’ a great disappointment for many....neither acts without lining their own pockets....

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Up until this point I have been listening, watching, tweeting, etc. But now, I am literally in tears.

This whole situation should never have come to pass.
How very sad this has become, government forcing Christians to violate their beliefs is a bridge too far.

Sorry, I have to take a breather. This one just hit me so very hard.

[yorkie]

[mylife]

[advertising guy]

[jsdjason]

That poor staffer looks like he’s about to pass out. Blinking his eyes very rapidly to stay awake.

[Girlene]

Someone needs to hand him a copy of Atlas Shrugged.

He'd still be reading it tomorrow night.

Now reading more constituents stories about obamacare.

[Billthedrill]

Risch and Crapo are my “voices” in the Senate. They miss the Revolution and they’re going to be looking for new jobs under the Witness Protection Program in Uzbekistan.

[Liberty Valance]

coming up on 12 hours

[Gene Eric]

The man is incredible.

[bray]

He is at the heart of the issue. “If the Federal Govt can force Hobby Lobby to break their religious beliefs, what stops them from forcing you to break yours?”

He is speaking from the Holy Spirit.

[onyx]

Aw, sweetest you.
It truly is a crying shame as well as an outrage.

[GraceG]

I have been doing housework and commenting here, listening to Lee and Cruz is keeping me motivated to get stuff done! :)
