Club For Growth, the influential conservative organization, is urging Senate Republicans to back Ted Cruz’s plan to filibuster the House-passed government spending bill that defunds Obamacare.

The group will therefore also score how senators vote on “cloture.”

Cruz has said that Senate Republicans should filibuster the House bill until Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (R-NV) agrees to a 60-vote threshold for any motion that removes the defund language.
