U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released the following statement regarding the House effort to pass a Continuing Resolution:

"Some observers have mistakenly construed my comments on the Senate floor today as endorsing specific proposals that the House may be considering. I said nothing of the sort. Instead, I observed that it is the House that is working productively to keep the government running and, at the same time, to stop the enormous harms that Obamacare is visiting on the American people. And Harry Reid's Senate is refusing to compromise, refusing to negotiate, and insisting on a path that leads inevitably to a government shutdown.

"Harry Reid should not shut down the government. Instead, as I urged on the Senate floor, the Senate should support the House.

"I have repeatedly stated that I will not vote for a CR that funds Obamacare, and I trust House conservatives to continue to listen to the people and act to prevent the Obamacare 'train wreck.'"
