Ted Cruz On Mark Levin Show

Ted Cruz
U.S. Senate in Texas

"Ted Cruz is the strongest conservative in the race and he's earned the support of the grassroots in Texas. Ted Cruz has a deep appreciation for the U.S. Constitution and he's someone conservatives can count on to fight for the principles of freedom that make America great." -- U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, SCF Chairman

In January 2011, Ted Cruz filed to run for U.S. Senate based on his proven record of fighting for conservative principles and winning on a national level. He is running for the Senate to stand up and fight to defend liberty, preserve the Constitution, and stop federal overreach.

From 2003-08, Ted served as the Solicitor General of Texas, the chief lawyer for the State before the U.S. Supreme Court and all the state and federal appellate courts. Cruz was the youngest Solicitor General in the nation, the longest serving Solicitor General in Texas, and the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas.

Ted has authored over 80 U.S. Supreme Court briefs and personally argued 40 oral arguments, including 9 before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Under the leadership of Attorney General Greg Abbott, Ted defended Texas values, winning repeatedly on a national level. During Ted’s service as Solicitor General, Texas achieved an unprecedented series of landmark national victories, including successfully defending:

-- U.S. sovereignty against the World Court in Medellin v. Texas.
-- The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
-- The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
-- The constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance;
-- The constitutionality of Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
-- The Texas congressional redistricting plan.

Ted has been described by National Review as “a Republican star rising in Texas,” and as “a great Reaganite hope.”

Prior to serving as Solicitor General, Ted served as the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an Associate Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, and Domestic Policy Advisor on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign. In addition, Ted clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was the first Hispanic ever to have clerked for the Chief Justice of the United States.

Ted has seen first-hand that America’s bedrock principle is the pursuit of freedom and opportunity. His father came to Texas from Cuba penniless at age 18, not speaking a word of English. Cruz went on to study at Princeton.

He graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude and served as a Primary Editor of the Harvard Law Review, an Executive Editor of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, and a Founding Editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.

Ted and his wife Heidi live in Houston, where he grew up, with their three-year-old daughter, Caroline, and their newborn daughter Catherine.

Texas Senate Race - Support Ted Cruz

Fellow Conservatives:

I'm writing to give you a quick update on the U.S. Senate race in Texas. Please forward this email to as many people as you can.

The Republican primary election in Texas is just two months away so there's no time to waste.

The proven, tested, and unmatched conservative candidate in the race -- former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz -- has launched his first radio and television ads to win support across Texas.

Many of you have contributed financially to Ted's campaign and now he's putting your money to work.


Ted Cruz is also stepping up his media appearances. Last week, he was featured on Mark Levin's nationally syndicated radio show. Levin put it best when he said, "If we are going to repeal ObamaCare, we need some fighters who are articulate, charismatic, and have the kind of skills necessary to do it. Ted Cruz in Texas, I could not support him more strongly."

We agree and this is why the Senate Conservatives Fund has invested nearly $1 million in his race through a combination of direct fundraising for Ted Cruz's campaign and a major independent expenditure for a statewide television commercial.


The key to a conservative victory in Texas is simple. We need to hold the current frontrunner -- Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst -- under 50% and make sure Ted Cruz finishes in first or second place. This will force a run-off election and give Ted Cruz even more exposure and the benefit of a two-man contest.

To succeed, we must rapidly spread the word about this outstanding conservative leader.

Ted Cruz needs money and if you can give more to his Senate campaign, please do so today at http://senateconservatives.com.

Click HERE to Support Ted Cruz and the Senate Conservatives Fund.

We're entering the phase of this campaign where word of mouth promotion is also extremely effective. People in Texas are now beginning to pay more attention to the race so we need to contact as many of them as possible.

That is why we're starting an email forwarding campaign for Ted Cruz. Please forward this email to as many people as you can. We'll keep track of the number of times it's opened and how much money is raised.

If someone forwarded this to you, please forward it again. If we work together to spread the word, we can win this race. Also, if you're not already a member of the Senate Conservatives Fund, please sign-up today so you can stay informed of our progress in this critical U.S. Senate race.

Thank you for your continued support for the principles of freedom that make this country great.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund



Our values are under siege. President Obama and establishment politicians from both parties have broken promises, driven us to the brink of bankruptcy and failed to secure our border. Politicians make promises in the quest for power, leaders deliver results that empower individuals.

We Must Fire BHO and Balance the Budget

The Obama administration passed many fiscal milestones. The total national debt continues to grow as he redistributes Tax Dollars, starts, illegal wars (Libya), and attacks our Own States! Arizona, Virginia and Texas are under attack from the Soetoro regime with Eric Holder.

Below is a message from a Conservative Politician. We NEED more Conservatives in American Politics.


Will Republicans Balance the Budget?
Fellow Conservatives:

Republicans talk about balancing the budget a lot these days. The idea is so popular that it's become a central part of their campaigns.

But do they really mean it?

One way to find out is to see if they have ever written, cosponsored, or voted for a budget that would balance the federal books in 10 years or less. If a politician cannot support a proposal to balance the budget within 10 years, they're probably all talk and no action.

These same leaders talk about how their plans "bend the cost curve" in the future and put the nation on a "path to balance". These are clever phrases designed to trick voters into thinking their budgets do something meaningful when they don't.

There are many good ways to balance the budget, but it's time for conservatives to agree that doing it in 10 years or less must be the common goal achieved by every plan. We simply cannot wait 20 or 30 years to stop the accumulation of our nation's debt. We must freeze it now.

You will be pleased to know that U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has authored a new plan called "A Platform to Revitalize America" that balances the budget in just five years. I support this plan along with U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah).

We believe it's time to get serious about stopping the spending and debt, and I hope you will join us in this fight.

Please contact your Senators and urge them to support Senator Paul's budget and to demand balance within 10 years.

This issue is another reminder of why we need to elect the right kind of Republicans. We need more people in Washington who have the courage to actually cut spending, not just talk about it.

Thank you for supporting the principles of freedom that make America great. If we work together, I'm confident we can take our country back.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint

Who Obama Threatened - Did You Notice

From now through November 2012 this should be required weekly or, at least monthly, reading; BY ALL WHO VOTE!!!

Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling?

He threatened to not pay:
Social Security Retirees, Military Retirees, Social Security disability and Federal Retirees.

Now...Let this sink in really well -

He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens.

He did not threaten to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates.

He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired .

He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around the country and the world.

He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff.

He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients.

He did not threaten the food stamp programs.

He did not threaten to not pay foreign aid.

He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base of voters.


The list could go on and on. He is in full political re-election mode!

Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his selfishness and lies?

His type of change is killing our country. He needs to be stopped and only our votes can stop him.

Do not forget about his tactics when it's election time. Vote Obama out of the Presidency in 2012.

LET'S MAKE 2012 - THE END OF AN ERROR!

AMERICA...HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS.
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING!!!

A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!! Let's Take a Stand!!!
Obama: Gone!
Borders: Closed!
Language: English only
Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!

Sharia Law and Barry's Foreign Policy must be stopped!

We the people are coming!

"Democracy... is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty ... is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin

Most Liberal Senator On the Run

Fellow Conservatives:

I'm writing to give you a brief update on the U.S. Senate race in Ohio and the amazing progress made by our endorsed candidate, Josh Mandel (R-OH).

Liberal incumbent U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is in deep trouble. According to a recent poll conducted by a Democratic polling firm, less than half the voters in the Buckeye State want to re-elect him even though he's almost universally known.

The poll also shows growing momentum for Josh Mandel (40%) against an increasingly vulnerable Sherrod Brown (48%). Mandel has already closed this race down to a single-digit gap (-8%), which is better than where now-Ohio Senator Rob Portman and now- Ohio Governor John Kasich were at this point in their campaigns two years ago.

Also, Josh Mandel has taken the lead among independent voters. These Americans are unhappy with the direction of the country and they're tired of Sherrod Brown pretending to be a conservative at home while voting like a liberal in Washington. They're looking for someone like Josh Mandel who will do what he says he'll do.

We have many of you to thank for this progress.

Because of the financial support provided by thousands of SCF members in Ohio and across the nation, Josh Mandel outraised Sherrod Brown two quarters in a row. In total, Mandel has raised over $3.8 million and has over $3.2 million cash on hand.

This is a remarkable achievement and it's a testament to the quality of this candidate and the grassroots enthusiasm for his campaign.

I'm confident conservatives can win this race, but we still have a lot of work to do. Josh Mandel is still unknown to many voters and the liberal special interest groups will do everything they can to defeat him.

Please continue to pray for Josh and please continue to support his campaign financially through the Senate Conservatives Fund. Remember that when you donate to Josh Mandel through SCF, he gets 100% of your contribution and SCF pays for all processing and handling expenses.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We'll keep fighting.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

P.S. Sherrod Brown recently ducked an appearance in Ohio with President Obama. He cited "congressional business" as his excuse but that's never stopped him before. Sherrod Brown is on the run and we can defeat him if we all work together.

If you are able to, please support the campaign of Josh Mandel and Ted Cruz financially through the Senate Conservatives Fund.
