WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) Sen. Ted Cruz began a filibuster Tuesday with the intent of defunding the Affordable Care Act, known also as Obamacare.
The Texas Republican noted while on the Senate floor, I intend to speak about defunding ObamaCare until I am unable to stand.
Cruz additionally asserted that Democrats are not listening to their constituents in regards to the health care law, which is set to take effect Oct. 1.
I rise today in opposition to ObamaCare in an effort to speak for 26 million Texans and 300 million Americans, Cruz asserted. It is time quite frankly to make D.C. listen.

Well, at least it is Tuesday, as opposed to being post Thursday @ High Noon, when many hit the road.

I think that’s Grassley. He may not take part but is not one of the backstabbers.

I suppose the gop-e has walked out on him, as the Democrats walked out at the Benghazi hearing, the bassturds.

Hind sight is interesting, it appears (not for his reasons) all the CRA did was destroy the black family.

Senator Lee is asking a question - Sen Cruz didn’t relinquish the floor but Sen. Lee is talking about the people contacting their Congressmen for relief from Obamacare.
