Cruz made the great point that the Republicans have voted to keep the Government going, just defund Obamacare. That it is Harry Reid and the President that appear to be opting to shut down the government, and Cruz encourages that they not do so, “We do not want to shut down the government”.
CRUZ: Obama doesn’t respect 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th Amends…or the rest of Constitution

There were so many things he said that were so good. I hope they will be online in the next few days.

God bless Senator’s Cruz and Lee . They truly work well together. I am really impressed with both of these fine men.
It is now almost 5:00 a.m. EST here and Senator Cruz now in the 15th hour, Senator Lee at his side. Two great men.
Ted Cruz is the shot in the arm true conservatives have yearned for since Ronald Reagan left office. In this filibuster he is not just reading a book. He is making points that go to the heart and soul of what traditional America is all about and what made us the world’s most powerful and successful nation.
