...how we can now early detect chronic conditions...


I think Cruz has just finished pointing out, very clearly, how to detect ‘chronic conditions’.

Thanks to Graewoulf for this list:

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.

ALSO, reposting my post 3979:

Cruz (on Rush) sounds as clear and level-headed and calm and impassioned as he did yesterday at 2:40pm. Amazing.

Cruz had 3 segments with Rush.

1) Asks people to sign up with the Don’t Fund ObamaCare website
2) Call your senators
3) Light up phones, and Twitter, and FaceBook

Cruz said it needs to become more politically risky to do the wrong thing than to do the right thing.

Welcome to FR, WTFOVR!!!


Gov. Palin posted this status update on Facebook today....
September 23, 2013

The U.S. Senate has some arcane procedural rules, and as ordinary Americans our eyes glaze over trying to decipher them. But it’s important for us to understand that Sen. Ted Cruz’s efforts to defund Obamacare are worthwhile and doable.

We shouldn’t preemptively surrender the fight to those who rammed through this outrageously burdensome and unaffordable ploy for government control of health care even though some are trying to convince us that the fight is futile. Just because a fight isn’t easy, doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting.

This defund movement boils down to a very simple request. As Andrew McCarthy recently pointed out: “Obama himself has already unilaterally and unconstitutionally defunded aspects of Obamacare, including repugnant accommodations for big corporations, Obama insiders, and members of Congress.” All we’re asking is that the rest of America “get the same relief from this awful law that Obama cronies, the ruling class, and the politically-connected get.”

Please call your senators and politely ask them to stand with Senator Cruz. This is especially important if your senator is a Democrat up for re-election in a red state in 2014. That would be Senators Mark Begich (D-AK), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), and Kay Hagan (D-NC). Remind them politely that we are watching their votes very carefully and even a procedural vote that shuts down this debate will be regarded as a vote for Obamacare, and there will be consequences for them at the ballot box next year. The same goes for Republicans up for re-election. We definitely expect them to stand shoulder to shoulder with Senator Cruz through thick and thin.

The number for the Capitol Hill Switchboard is 202-224-3121. Ask for your senator’s office. You can also find their contact information and contact them online at
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Remember, we elected these senators precisely for moments like this. If they can’t do anything with the power we’ve given them through their elected office, then perhaps it’s time for them to retire and let someone else have a go.

Opposition to Obamacare carried us to victory in 2010. And 2014 is just around the corner.

- Sarah Palin


And in further news, our other Texas Senator “Neville” Vichy Cornyn, just as much admitted on Hannity that he thinks it is better to not vote against cloture, and let the Dems vote to fund Obamacare,and let it go forward, because he thinks it is better politically for the Republicans. So politics is more important than saving our nation. Bleh....

Coburn is the coward Cruz speaks of.

After listening to many hours of Sen Cruz, absoutely enthralled with his command of what is ar stake, I could only listen to a very few minutes of the bilge and gas from Reid, Coburn, McCain, Harkin. It's all on the people now.

Harkin declared it an “Alice in Wonderland” event. Is Harkin a communist or just an idiot?

Yes, Cruz and Lee were outstanding.

It's way early, but Ted Cruz became my default choice to run for President in 2016 - if we last that long. Next stop is to win the Senate and hold the House in 2014.

I am drooling over the thought of getting him to Tennessee to campaign for Joe Carr.
