This loser here needs to be twittered and asked why he is not down on the Senate floor helping Cruz and Lee:

Screw that. Read the Obamacare law.

Problem is no one, absolutely no one is explaining what you say for the common guy out there to understand. Is Cruz covering this?

When Rand Paul did his filibuster, he was there most of the time by himself. As the hours went on, a couple of other Senators came and ‘interrupted’ him with lengthy questions and comments — to give him a brief rest.

As the day and hours wore on more Senators and even some House members showed up. Many of them were rather embarrassed because Paul had taken a stand and the rest of them were out having dinner and drinks.

==

If this one goes on very long, it will hit Twitter and other social media. That will force the MSM to give it some cursory coverage. That will also embarrass other Senators who chose to stay away.

If the Senators think their phones have been ringing off the walls lately, wait until tomorrow — if they fail to show support for Cruz.

Cruz took to the floor at 2:40pm and said he intends to speak “until I am no longer able to stand.”

I called both Nebraska senators and said that Ted Cruz is speaking up for we the people but will get tired and need help, just like Moses needed Aaron to hold up his hands for battle - so I asked them to be that help for Cruz.

To whimper when it’s time to roar is a failure of will and courage. Those who don’t HELP the filibuster are not really supporting this effort at all. Man up, senators! Everybody contact your senators and let them know it’s time to roar.

Separating the Wheat from the chaff, Senators. Pay attention. Senators Cruz and Lee are giving us the hope we need.

Pray for them.

David Vitter is on with Hannity now. He is going to the floor to support Cruz directly after his interview.

There are rules regarding giving up the floor. You can give up the floor for a question, but you give up the floor for someone else to take over debate and you run the risk of yielding for good.

Vitter (R, Louisiana) should because he's against cloture, will try to call his office again.
