Lee: GOP Has the Votes to Stop Funding Obamacare (Cloture vote Tonight or Friday!)
KCSG ^ | 9/26/13 | KCSG

Posted on 09/26/2013 9:29:52 AM PDT by jimbo123

Today, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) explained that Senate Republicans have the votes to prevent Sen. Harry Reid from reinstating funding for Obamacare in the House continuing resolution if they will stay unified. Republicans only need 41 votes to block Reid from using procedural tricks to put Obamacare funding back in the bill.

“House Republicans showed tremendous courage and unity in voting to fund government, avoid a shut down, and protect the American people from the harmful effects of Obamacare,” said Sen. Lee. “Senate Republicans have the ability to show that same courage by staying unified and together opposing cloture on the final bill. We should continue to withhold support for ending debate until Senator Reid either brings up the House bill as is for an up-or-down vote, or allows an open amendment process that permits both Republicans and Democrats to offer amendments to the bill.”

-snip-

The vote on cloture to end debate is expected on Friday, but could be held as early as Thursday evening.

If they stay unified is a horrible expression.

They are not unified to begin with , how can they stay that way,

We know for certain that McCain, McConnell, Graham, Hatch, Collins , Reed, and maybe others will turn on us.

I don’t know why Ted Cruz didn’t speak about my ailing Boston Fern.

Oh! I get it! My fern was not coming up under Senate Parliamentary Rules, in a Motion for Cloture.

Poor me, and what about my fern?

The problem now is that the Rinos are invested in Cruz losing. Otherwise, their criticism of his tactics looks like defeatism and makes them look like losers, while Cruz becomes the victorious hero. Can’t have that.

Please add Tom Coburn (R-OK) to today’s calls. PLEASE.

Tom is nothing if not a self-proclaimed sage of the senate, on waste and fraud, and then turns around and blasts Cruz, and will vote “FOR” cloture tonight, to move along the biggest WASTE AND FRAUD scam in US history.

Squish is his name.

Don’t count on Juan, Linda, Alexander, Coburn, Cornyn or McConnell, much less Collins.

Call Johnson (WI). He's against Obamacare, has not committed to voting no (meaning he's leaning yes).

(202) 224-5323

He's talking (http://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=59fe8eb1-ae24-431e-9a5e-95d1bdd43339), but watch his vote.

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

Just called Cornyn and got through. Left him a message. I’ve sent him several tweets and facebook messages as well.

"Stay" unified? Have they been unified at all up until now?Last I checked, they're all over the map. The Vichy GOP-eunuchs are legion, so Lee's hope is little more than wishful. But props to the patriots in the Senate and House for at least making a stand.

I just tried Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson. Nelson’s mail box is full and they refer you to the billnelson.senate.gov website to leave a message. Rubio’s line is busy and they refer you to their Orlando phone number. You cannot leave a message.

Called the offices of these two.. A complete waste of time, since these two are in competition to be Obama’s most slavishly loyal pleasure boy, but I went through the motions anyway.
