Senator Cruz reading a letter written in the Alamo just before it fell (William Travis, hero, died at the Alamo).

"Freedom or death".

Sen. Cruz is reading this for sustenance to Rand Paul who is going through a draining marathon right now.

Senators Paul and Cruz....what a pair to draw to!

God bless them both. They are saying exactly what I would say as a FR conservative if I had the Senate floor.

Posted this on the OTHER live filibuster thread (FYI to all: Other thread hasn't been noted/linked on this thread yet):

Rand Paul is making history today! Will history notice?

He could have read the dictionary, but instead he is requiring of himself to expound on the principles of our Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, posse comitatus, habeas Corpus, the sloppy bills Congress passes, etc, etc. Now approaching his 4th hour.

By word count, I can’t remember the last time I heard the words “Constitution” and “Republic” repeated so often-— just not repeated, but explained!

The criticism that he repeats himself... thumbs up to Paul! Anyone else care to intelligently filibuster for 4 hours? Moreover, repetition is a well-tested educational device.

Any Senators not joining Paul are being exposed for the self-interested anti-Constitutionalist cowards that they are.

They he should read aloud something that’s filthy and loathesome to Dems...like the entire Constitution followed by the Bible.

Leni, I've heard you! As much as I like the two of them, you'd put 'em all to shame!
