Sen. Ted Cruz is walking the walk (and reading Green Eggs and Ham to his kids at bedtime!!), while the GOP establishment withholds its support of his principled actions - and whines and whines and whines. From Tea Party Patriots:
. . . Senators, Congressmen, and their staff want to force us to pay for and live under this law, yet they have exempted themselves from Obamacare. . . .No man is above the law in America. America was founded precisely because our founders did not want to live under kings and tyrannical rule, and now we have a Ruling Class in DC forcing us to live under laws they do do not want to abide by. (BTW, the staffers on the floor of the Senate Chamber who are watching the filibuster really, really do not like having that pointed out to them. As we were watching the debate in the Senate you could see body language change in the Senate Chamber as soon as the exemptions and the Ruling Class is mentioned.)

Join the fight on Twitter TONIGHT and throughout the week.
Please use your Twitter account to weigh in on this debate. The Senate offices are paying attention to Twitter and the hashtag #MakeDCListen is trending #1 on Twitter tonight. We are making a difference on social media and on Capitol Hill! A list of the Senators twitter ids is below. Contact both Republican and Democrat Senators. While tweeting, ask your senators the list of questions below, give them a map of the Capitol in case they have forgotten how to get to the Senate floor, and let them know you are watching. Be sure to tell the Senators you do not want a vote for cloture to close the debate (which is likely to happen on Friday or Saturday) until there is a guarantee of a clean vote for the House CR. That is our next milestone in defunding Obamcare.
