WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, urged Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., to call the Senate back into session Sunday to avoid a government shutdown.
Cruz led a conservative mission to defund the Affordable Care Act with a 21-hour filibuster Wednesday, but the Democrat-controlled Senate has said any spending measure that doesn't including funding for the act won't be acceptable.
