March 28, 2012

By Team Cruz

U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, R-Okla, made the following statement today regarding his endorsement of Ted Cruz for Senate:

“Ted Cruz is a strong conservative and a fighter, not a timid career politician. The fiscal and economic crisis facing our nation is too grave to elect anyone other than a strong conservative fighter.  We need Ted in the Senate to stand with us against wasteful Washington spending, the corrupt earmark culture, and the radical Obama agenda.

“Oklahoma and Texas may have our friendly rivalry, but when it comes to fighting for limited government, I’m proud to endorse my neighbor across the Red River. Ted Cruz is exactly the kind of proven conservative that conservatives should rally behind nationally, because we need strong reinforcements to help us defend our free-market system.

“Fiscal conservatives have been badly outnumbered in Washington, but the Senate is right now at a tipping point – send Ted Cruz to the Senate, and we can turn it around.  I’m proud to stand with Ted and encourage all friends of liberty in Texas and across the country to support him.”

Senator Coburn joins numerous other conservative leaders and organizations across Texas and nationally who are supporting a proven conservative fighter in the Texas Senate race including: Tea Party Express, Family Research Council Action PAC, Cathie Adams, Texas Home School Coalition PAC, Dr. James Dobson, Senator Rand Paul, George P. Bush, David Barton, Senator Jim DeMint, Mark Levin, Gun Owners of America, Kelly Shackelford, Peggy Venable, Young Conservative of Texas, and many others.
