THANK YOU: Victory for the Grassroots

August 1, 2012

Last night was a victory for the grassroots. A tremendous testament to Republican women, the Tea Party, all the grassroots. This is the way elections are supposed to be decided, by the People.

So I want to first and foremost say, thank you!

We are seeing a Great Awakening. Millions of Texans and Americans who are standing up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty, to restore our Constitution.

You are my inspiration. You are why we have won. You comprise the fabric of America, our many-century love story with liberty, with the unlimited potential of free men and women to achieve the American dream.

Today, liberty is threatened. Government spending is out of control, and our crushing debt threatens our future. Yet every generation of Americans has given to their children and grandchildren a brighter future, greater opportunity and prosperity. And ours will be no different. That is why we are rising up – to take our country back.

To preserve liberty. To restore the Constitution. I am honored and humbled to be marching alongside each of you.

Now, we will turn our efforts to getting it done. To winning the general election, and to helping elect other strong constitutional conservatives to the U.S. Senate. To bringing people together to repeal ObamaCare, to stop the out-of-control spending, to turn around the debt.

The stakes are too high to fail. And so, together, we will follow the path blazed by generations of Texans and Americans before us. We will stand up and preserve that Shining City on a Hill that is the United States of America.

God bless you, God Bless America, and God bless Texas.
