Keep calling all senators 202-224-3121 and tell everyone you know to do so... Reid is planning a cloture vote on December 23! Raise Hell!

No, REID can’t stop the reading. In fact, all bills are supposed to be read, unless the reading is waved, which is the usual procedure.

He can try, but all bills must be read unless they obtain unanimous consent to forgo it. The bill currently being read was forced by only Coburn refusing to give his consent.

(Also, I meant DeMint in my original post, not Cantor).

I sure hope they keep going and don’t give into the media frenzy of making us the bad ones for demanding a reading.

You can let the senator know you're supporting him 100% thru his webpage.

I tried but the Captcha image will not display so I cannot submit my thank you.

Sanders looks like he's ready to have a heart attack, right there on the Senate floor.

Why is he so mad?

Because the Republicans are obstructing the Senate by demanding the reading of the amendment ..."which I knew would not pass."

Folks, they're losing it. Don't let up!!
