Senator Ted Cruz, a courageous leader in the Senate, began a speaking on the Senate floor to ensure that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid does not make any changes to the House Continuing Resolution that funds the government while defunding Obamacare.

Congratulations! Your hard work paid off. Last Friday, the House voted to fund the entire government as well as to stop the funding for Obamacare and it is all because of you! Critics said this couldn’t be done and you did it!
