Me too!
God bless and keep him and his precious family.

[tumblindice]

Cruz is right. Everyone else is wrong.
He’s a `majority of one’: Go Ted!

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Look, no teleprompter.

[Uncle Miltie]

I just made a contribution at:

Just sayin’.

[Gator113]

I LOVED that mans acting.

[HurriKane]

I’m calling many of the Senators I called yesterday encouraging them to get on the floor and help Cruz with this filibuster, send in the reinforcements, every Republican senator should be on deck...

[ziravan]

John Cornyn’s Washington mailbox for comments is full, and EVERY ONE of his regional offices go to busy signal.

John, here’s a message for you: MY SENATOR is standing up for my values in the well of the Senate as we speak. Do your damn job and support him.

Thanks Timber Ratter.

“Just Lee, apparently.”

Praying, then, for more...

Cruz: How dare they! ...As time goes on there is more and more [a tendency for legislators] to view constituents as an annoyance....What a broken system...

Legislators annoyed they are getting too many calls from their constituents.

[RKBA Democrat]

Throwing down the gauntlet! Telling them that anyone who votes for cloture is voting to fund deathcare.

Go Ted Go!

[butterdezillion]

lol. I just got a call from the Family Research Council. One of the questions was whether I would be willing to call my senator and tell him to filibuster or vote down on cloture. For some reason it didn’t recognize my answer: “I already did that yesterday and again today”.

[KC_Lion]

Let it be known who stood for us at this late hour. G-d Bless You Ted Cruz.

[workerbee]

The French Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Just like the Dems walked out on the Benghazi families, "our" side doesn't want to listen to the truth of OdingoCare.

[The Cajun]

Willing to bet McConnell ordered Rinos he controls not to show up.

Cruz mentioned several times floor is empty, you can bet McConnell is behind it and Cruz knows that.

Back stabbing bastard McConnell.

[jazusamo]

LOL!

Something tells me Cruz is not popular with the Cocktail Party Circuit, he’s honest.

Keep it up Sen. Cruz!

[RKBA Democrat]

No courage like the courage of an anonymous Congressional staffer. LOL!

[sand88]

Rand Paul had better be making an appearance.

Rand Paul views Ted Cruz as potential competition in 2016.

Therefore, don't expect any help from Paul. Paul most likely wants Cruz to fail.

Cruz and Mike Lee are the only two in Congress I can fully trust.

The rest are weak on Liberty.

[Political Junkie Too]

An article on Drudge says that he can only do this until tomorrow at noon due to Senate rules.

Hmmm... I didn't think the Senate has a cloture rule. Senators can speak for as long as they hold the floor. They can yield for a point-of-order without yielding the floor, and then the point-of-order can continue for as long as the other Senator can go before handing it back to the controlling Senator.

Ted stands on the side of liberty. He has my vote in 2016!
