Why My Husband Ted’s Campaign Matters Right Now

March 31st, 2011

I’m writing to introduce myself and make a personal appeal for my husband Ted’s campaign for U.S. Senate.

When I met Ted eleven years ago, I was impressed by many things, but one outstanding quality was that he knew the founding principles of this country and the Constitution better than anyone I had ever met. Not only that, he could articulate and defend them at the highest levels of both our judicial branch of government as well as in policy circles. And he had a passion for making a difference.

The reason I think this campaign matters so much is because our country is at a tipping point both politically and financially—we’re on the brink. And it is our generation that must lead – we must lead to return our nation to fiscal soundness, we must lead to keep a vibrant economy for our children, we must lead to maintain our leadership position abroad and continue to be the country that fights for freedom.

It would mean so much to Ted and me if you could make even a small contribution online at the link below before midnight tonight. Even if you already have, any additional contribution is so important to get us over our goal line for this filing:

It’s been very exciting to see the support Ted is receiving from around Texas and from around the country. Midnight tonight is a critical deadline: the end of the first reporting period.

Two days ago, the campaign set a goal of getting 72 new online donors in 72 hours—and we hit that mark in less than 24 hours. Would you please help Ted double that number today?

On a personal note, our family is doing great so far during this campaign. Ted is working harder now than I’ve ever seen anybody work in my life. He is steady and unflappable on the campaign trail — focused completely on winning. And at home, he’s a loving father to our two adorable baby girls, Caroline and Catherine. He is never too busy to be kind, generous, and thoughtful.

Thank you again for letting me share a few thoughts on why I think Ted’s campaign matters so much. We need you, this is a team effort. We thank you for what you have done so far and ask that you help us push over the goal line tonight at midnight. We can’t do this without you.

72 Hours to Defend Liberty

March 29th, 2011

One of the most important deadlines of the entire Senate race is in less than 72 hours.

The end of the first fundraising quarter is March 31st, only two days away! We need your support now more than ever.

There is a desperate need for more conservative leaders in Washington to stand up against the Obama Agenda, preserve the Constitution, and defend liberty.

Will you please join us right now
in providing those conservative reinforcements by helping us reach 72 new donors in the next 72 hours and send a message that Texans and Americans are hungry for new leadership?

You can make the difference in this race now by taking these three crucial actions to help us reach our goal:

First, please join our effort to defeat the Obama Agenda by contributing just $10. Second, please forward this email to five friends, then share this effort with your friends on Facebook.

In politics, nothing is as strong as a recommendation from a trusted friend, so we need your help today.

Will you join our fight by contributing $10 to preserve America’s free-market economy? With your help before March 31st, this is a battle we’re going to win.

Still Sick Over ObamaCare?

March 23rd, 2011

Do you remember how you felt when ObamaCare passed?

One year ago today, with the stroke of a pen, President Obama put the federal government between doctors and patients, took control of 1/6 of our economy, violated the Constitution, and added $2.6 trillion in federal government spending.

By signing ObamaCare, the President arrogantly disregarded the overwhelming opposition of the American people, because he believes that Washington bureaucrats know better how to care for our families than our doctors.

If you support full repeal of ObamaCare and the defeat of every member who voted for it, please join us today.

Your support of $10, $25, or $50 will put us one step closer to having another strong conservative leader in the U.S. Senate to lead the charge to repeal ObamaCare.

We must remain steadfast in our fight for individual liberty. The battle against ObamaCare continues in the courts, but we cannot rely on that alone.

I’ve fought for and successfully defended conservative values for over a decade—and I’m ready to fight for you in the U.S. Senate.

But to do so, I need your help.

The most important deadline of the race is coming up in just eight days. Would you contribute $10 today to help us reach the U.S. Senate where we can fight back against ObamaCare?

With your support, we will fully repeal ObamaCare and preserve our free-market economy.

There are just eight days until March 31, the most important deadline of the campaign—the end of the first fundraising quarter. Will you please contribute just $10 right now to help us defeat the Obama Agenda?

Crunch Time

March 17th, 2011

Just last week, we received a huge boost with the endorsement of Tea Party favorite Senator Mike Lee of Utah.

Our momentum continues to build. With your help, Senate conservatives will have another strong ally in Washington to help defeat the Obama agenda.

Now it is crunch time and we urgently need your help. One of the most important deadlines of the entire Senate race is in two weeks- the cutoff for our first fundraising report.

Would you please contribute $10 right now to help us defeat the Obama Agenda and meet our critical fundraising goal?

This is an opportunity to send a strong message to Washington that Senator Mike Lee and like-minded conservatives desperately need reinforcements to truly cut spending and limit the size of government.

In his endorsement, Senator Lee said, “We need Ted Cruz in the Senate to help lead this fight and to help us win.”

Will you help us win by contributing $10 today?

Will you also encourage your friends and family to contribute on Facebook and Twitter?

U.S. Sen. Mike Lee Endorses Ted Cruz for Senate

March 7th, 2011

U.S. SEN. MIKE LEE ENDORSES TED CRUZ FOR SENATE

Champion for limiting the size of federal government, Lee says

AUSTIN, Texas—U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, announced Monday that he is endorsing former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate in Texas:

“I am proud to enthusiastically endorse Ted Cruz for the U.S. Senate. The 2010 election showed that voters are looking for strong, principled conservatives in the Senate. Money and the establishment aren’t what they used to be; principle and message—real conviction and a proven record—matter much more.

“Ted is one of our nation’s leading defenders of the Tenth Amendment. He is a champion for limiting the power, size, and spending of the federal government. Ted and I share much in common. We’re both proven conservatives who clerked for strong conservative Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, and we both believe passionately in limited government and the U.S. Constitution.

“We’re in an epic fight—to stop President Obama’s agenda, to reverse the out-of-control spending in Washington, and to restore the constitutional limitations on our federal government. We need Ted Cruz in the Senate to help lead this fight and to help us win.

Ted Cruz served for five-and-a-half years as Texas Solicitor General. He has argued nine times before the U.S. Supreme Court—the most of any lawyer in Texas. Ted was the youngest Solicitor General in the nation, the longest serving in Texas, and first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas.

Sen. Mike Lee was elected in 2010 as Utah’s 16th Senator. He has spent his career defending the basic liberties of Americans and Utahns as a tireless advocate for our founding constitutional principles.

Major Endorsement

March 7th, 2011

In his endorsement statement, Sen. Lee said the following:

“I am proud to enthusiastically endorse Ted Cruz for the U.S. Senate. The 2010 election showed that voters are looking for strong, principled conservatives in the Senate. Money and the establishment aren’t what they used to be; principle and message – real conviction and a proven record – matter much more.”

“Ted is one of our nation’s leading defenders of the Tenth Amendment. He is a champion for limiting the power, size, and spending of the federal government. Ted and I share much in common. We’re both proven conservatives who clerked for strong conservative Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, and we both believe passionately in limited government and the U.S. Constitution.

“We’re in an epic fight – to stop the Obama agenda, to reverse the out-of-control spending in Washington, and to restore the constitutional limitations on our federal government. We need Ted Cruz in the Senate to help lead this fight and to help us win.

I am honored to stand with Senator Mike Lee, and, with your help, we will succeed in defeating President Obama’s agenda.

We desperately need conservative reinforcements in the Senate to fight for limited government and America’s free-market economy. Will you please contribute $25, $50, or $200 to our Senate campaign now?

Line in the Sand

March 2nd, 2011

On this day 175 years ago, at Washington-on-the-Brazos, 59 Texians signed our Declaration of Independence.

At the same time, a fierce battle raged at the Alamo, with brave Texians preparing to give their lives in defense of liberty.

In recognition of the Texians who stepped across the line in the sand, will you answer the call of liberty today by joining our campaign’s Alamo Circle?

The threat we face today is not from invading armies; instead, it is from an out-of-control federal government that continually expands its power over our economy and our lives, and that spends us and our children into reckless and destructive debt.

In the past two years, we have galloped further to the left, toward government control that pushes aside liberty and opportunity, than at any point in our nation’s history.

This is the epic battle of our generation. Will we remain a land of freedom and opportunity or will President Obama continue the march toward European-style socialism?

The Alamo Circle allows anyone to make a huge difference to the campaign without making a large donation… It’s a recurring payment of just $25 a month.

Just as the early Texians took a stand for liberty, we need you to volunteer with us in this fight.

In addition to helping us defend liberty by joining the Alamo Circle, will you also please ask a few friends to join via email and Facebook?
