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.”

He’s trying to save the country and it’s too bad the RINO party doesn’t stand with him.

I wonder which senators will show up for support.
Linda Graham, Juan McNut definitely not.

Representing 6 million Texans, unlike Cornyn. You got that right. I hope Cornyn's getting a flood of email.

No he included the illegals otherwise he would have said 20 million.

Compared to the corruptocratican machine, he probably doesn’t have enough standwidth.
But it’s a noble try.

UPDATE: 2:48 p.m. “I intend to speak until I can no longer stand,” Cruz said in his opening remarks of his filibuster. Cruz was joined by his partner in his effort to defund Obamacare, Utah senator Mike Lee. Cruz has already played on the theme to “make DC listen” early on in his remarks and his Twitter account has started using the #MakeDCListen hashtag.Cruz Kicks Off Filibuster

Cruz hammering Cornyn, not by name, but saying listen to your Constituents!
Cruz and his staff are being told be me and thousands of others that Cornyn isn't answering any of his lines at any of his offices.
