CHQ Staff | 8/11/2015


U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has received the endorsement of Becky Gerritson, Co-Founder and President of the Wetumpka Tea Party (WTP) in Alabama and a courageous conservative who has fought with Alabama tea parties and various other liberty groups to combat the abuses of state and federal government overreach.

http://www.conservativehq.com/sites/...811TedCruz.jpgBecky Gerritson is one of the most outspoken tea party leaders in the nation. She appears regularly on FOX News and FOX Business, along with multiple national talk radio programs. She is currently the National Grassroots Coordinator for Grassroots for Victory USA, and helped organize the “Let’s Put ‘US’ Back in the USA”, travelling America from August 2015 – November 2016. Gerritson is an active member of the Alabama Stop Common Core Task Force and works to promote parental rights in America. In her spare time, she travels the nation speaking to audiences encouraging them to stand up for their First Amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty.

See our article, Tea Party Leader Becky Gerritson: Congress Must Stop Obama "Thought Police" for more on Gerritson’s principled leadership in the fight against Big Government oppression.

Gerritson released the following statement announcing her support of Sen. Cruz:

“America needs a leader who is bold as a lion and will seek justice and always speak the truth, one who respects the rule of law and our US Constitution. We need a leader who will confidently rebuke our enemies both foreign and domestic. One who appreciates and supports our military. We need a leader of integrity who seeks wise council and who will maintain unity and order. One who believes in America’s greatness and will do his utmost to preserve and further it. That man is Ted Cruz.”

CHQ readers will recall that in 2013, Gerritson appeared in front of the House Ways and Means Committee to give an impassioned speech about the abuses of the Obama IRS on the WTP, earning her national recognition and making her a heroine of the liberty movement.
Gerritson’s endorsement of Senator Cruz helped tee-up Cruz’s successful post-debate swing through the South, where he spoke to capacity crowds in Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama where Cruz said:

“Alabama can play a critical role as well as the other states in the SEC primary in making sure the next Republican nominee for President is a true, genuine conservative, someone who has walked the walk, not a campaign conservative but someone who has spent his life fighting to defend the Constitution, fighting to defend liberty, religious liberty and our bill of rights.”

There is no 'national' tea party, which explains why different groups may differ on their endorsement.

Quote:

---

Tea Party groups may differ on details, but when it comes to immigration, they support deportation of undocumented residents and enforcement of existing laws. Most important, the movement believes the United States should stop the flow of illegal traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border by any necessary means.

The Tea Party proponents are opposed to comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway to legal residency or citizenship. They also oppose the DREAM Act or other attempts to spend U.S. taxpayers’ dollars on programs that support undocumented residents or their families.

Tea Party groups are also opposed to President Obama's deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA), the administration's reprieve for young unauthorized immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children.

Under her leadership, I am certain we will see a groundswell of support from the grassroots in Texas, along with an army of volunteers and supporters to help us be very competitive in our home state.”

“Ted is a consistent fighter – standing strong for the rule of law, standing up for the American people, and standing against a big government that is squandering our heritage and our nation’s future,” said Fleming. “True to his word, Ted has taken on the special interests, the lobbyists, and the career politicians in both parties to return government to the people. He has stood up for conservatives on every issue that matters to us and has been a leading voice for our principles against the influence and power of the Washington Cartel. I am proud to be the Texas Tea Party Chairwoman for Cruz and look forward to making him the next President of the United States.”
