CHQ Staff | 2/1/2016
Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Chairman Jenny Beth Martin announced over the weekend that the SuperPAC associated with the largest national Tea Party organization in the country has endorsed Senator Ted Cruz to be the next president of the United States.
“We seek a candidate who shares our values: personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future. On behalf of Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund and our supporters, I am proud to announce our endorsement forhttp://www.conservativehq.com/sites/...rseTedCruz.jpgpresident of the United States: Senator Ted Cruz!”
Key Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund activists from around the country joined Jenny Beth Martin on stage in Sioux City to endorse Senator Cruz.
“I was asked a few weeks ago ‘what makes a great president?’ I want our next president to have clear, easily identifiable, conservative principles, which he has lived with for his entire life. I want our next president to be able to clearly communicate his principles to America. I want our next president to have an understanding of the ‘levers of government.’ He should demonstrate a history of creative, constitutional, and effective solutions that have furthered his principles; and I want to be assured that he will continue to do exactly what he said he would do. And finally, I want our next president’s actions and principles to be guided by a spiritual moral compass. I think that man is the man I voted for in this endorsement process; Senator Ted Cruz.” – Frank Racz, Fayetteville, NC
“I have been a grassroots tea party activist for over 6 years, and I met Ted Cruz at a small event in Houston that several of our local groups held about four years ago when he was running against the establishment for Senate. He exuded a quiet confidence as I grilled him on why he was running and why I should support him. He told me he would visit with every grassroots group as he campaigned – and he did. He said Texas needed a Senator that would work for the people, and would stick to constitutionally conservative principles – and we did. He promised he would be that Senator, and we could trust him to do what he says – and we can. Over his four years in the Senate, he has fought for us on issues like repealing Obamacare and abolishing the IRS. I trust that Ted Cruz believes what he says and that he will do what he says! He has earned that trust from me, and he will earn it from all of you! I am honored and thrilled to be here in Iowa with the Tea Party Patriots to endorse Senator Ted Cruz to be the next President of the United States of America.” – Darcy Kahrhoff, Huntington Beach, CA
“It was 6 years ago, almost to the day, that I had the privilege to meet Ted Cruz for the 1st time in January 2010. Ted had invited a dozen or so members of the more active Tea Party groups in Texas for an early pre-announcement of his intent to run for the United State Senate. At that time both of our Senators were as much ‘Washington Cartel’ as they make them. In that room we were all fierce watchdogs, not ready for a new politician willing to deal and get along.
A couple of hours later, as we came out of that meeting, we all had sparkles in our eyes. The reaction was unanimous: ‘This is just too good to be true. Is this guy for real? If he is, we have found the most incredible gem we could ever have dreamed of.’ Well, during these last 6 years, because he first was my candidate, and then my Senator, I have watched him very closely, day after day. And yes, I can tell you now, we have not been disappointed. Ted is for real!
He said what he was going to do, and he did what he said he would do. He has been the game changer in corrupt Washington, DC. Ted Cruz has been a fantastic Senator who made Texas proud! Ted Cruz will be the genuine and strong President our Country needs to become great again! I am proud to stand by Ted and endorse him! God Bless Iowa! Please show us the road!” – Suzanne Guggenheim, Corpus Christi, TX
The Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund endorsement of Senator Ted Cruz echoed and confirmed the endorsement of Ted Cruz posted by Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation.
In a January 20 op-ed in The Washington Times Phillips argued that the only Republican presidential candidate Tea Party Movement supporters can trust is Senator Ted Cruz.
Phillips pointed out that conservative voters had become more and more outraged in the second Bush term as Republicans abandoned all pretense of being the party of smaller government and fiscal sanity. Because no one was listening to real Americans, the tea party was born.
In 2016, the same frustration is building again because the Republican Party still refuses to listen to its conservative base. That frustration has turned into much of the Donald Trump movement.
The problem with Donald Trump is, said Phillips, he is a conservative when it suits his needs.
Mr. Trump gave large amounts to Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions. He gave money to Democrat Harry Reid and Democrat Nancy Pelosi. He gave money to Democrat Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama’s one time chief of staff and now Chicago mayor. He gave money to the Democratic congressional committee. He even gave money to disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner.
Donald Trump also gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
So with that history in mind, Judson Phillips asked, “Who do you trust to pick the next three Supreme Court justices?”
In some of the most important cases the Supreme Court decided in the last few years, said Phillips, many of our rights were saved by one single “unelected lawyer.”
Conservatives have to win the White House this year. Conservatives have to put someone in the White House who will put conservative justices on the Supreme Court as well as the rest of the federal judiciary.
There is only one man conservatives can trust says Tea Party Nation founder and leader Judson Phillips, and that is Ted Cruz.
