I’ve retweeted. called my Senator. Since I only have one senator at moment, I called both men who are running for senate as well, and my congressman for good measure.

I wanted all my bases covered. Now I’m working on a letter to the editor for our local paper.

I hope you are right. I am super cynical these days.

Thank you for the explanation. I keep getting lost in the weeds!

btw, just read that some of the 2 million bikers are planning to go to McConnells Kentucky office tomm! Wow

Cruz also tells Rush how the Republican senators act defeated in caucus meetings, accept defeat, have no strategy to go on the offense.

It's good to have this confirmed. Now it's time to make their fears come true. Viva the Tea Party!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I should say if he agreed to bring it to the floor, I hope he does not change his mind.

Not politician but common sense based representation)Young is young a conservative, very intelligent He represents IN well (we finally are getting bridges built over the Ohio river )
He has turned to Coats who is very low key to mentor him. Similar personalities. Not flashy

Some on here don’t know what they are talking about!!!!!

[Gorilla44]

Maybe the striking truckers in the area should meet up with them and park their trucks.

Cruz to Rush today:

“If you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you’d be in therapy for a month” ROFL

[don-o]

Coburn: How can we solve this without anybody looking bad?

[MWestMom]

If Reid was enrolled in Hogwarts, the hat would have made him a Slitherin. Nasty little man.

Excellent. Repeating the post here for others who may have missed it.

Cruz (on Rush) sounds as clear and level-headed and calm and impassioned as he did yesterday at 2:40pm. Amazing.

Cruz had 3 segments with Rush.

1) Asks people to sign up with the Don't Fund ObamaCare website
2) Call your senators
3) Light up phones, and Twitter, and FaceBook

Cruz said it needs to become more politically risky to do the wrong thing than to do the right thing.

[hoosiermama]

Did you see the list of duplications. Yet the congress is ignoring that and the corruption. Failure to address for fear of loosing jobs? Do the right thing is not an option in DC
