Republican Senate candidate T.W. Shannon announced today that U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has endorsed his campaign.
Cruz will join Sarah Palin and Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, for a Liberty Rally next Thursday, April 24 in Tulsa. The endorsement is Cruz’s first endorsement in an open seat in the 2014 cycle.
“T.W. Shannon is a strong Constitutional conservative who will fight for individual liberty and help turn our country around,” Cruz said. “T.W. embodies the American dream. I’m proud to offer T.W. my enthusiastic endorsement because not only will he vote the right way, but he’ll stand up and fight with us in the Senate to stop President Obama’s assault on our liberties and defend America’s founding principles.”
“One of the things I keep hearing as I travel the state is that my fellow Oklahomans feel like their personal freedoms are under assault,” said Shannon. “Whether it’s the government mandating health insurance we don’t want, or invading our privacy, or forcing people to violate their conscience by providing abortion drugs—Oklahomans now fear their own government is taking away their liberty.
“But it doesn’t have to be this way. Thomas Jefferson said when the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. If conservatives here in Oklahoma and across America will unite, we can protect our God-given liberty, and take back this country.
“We need to send a message to Washington, D.C., and make our voices heard. I hope my fellow patriots from here in Tulsa and all across the state will join me with Gov. Palin, Sen. Cruz and Sen. Lee as we rally for Liberty here in the heartland.”
The Liberty Rally featuring Palin, Cruz and Lee will take place Thursday, April 24 at 6:00pm at the Green Country Event Center located at 12000 E. 31st St. in Tulsa. The rally is free and open to the public.
Cruz is a neocon like the rest of that pandering cabal…it is easy to pretend to be conservative when you are in the minority…not to mention he was responsible for a government shut down that accomplished absolutely nothing. Cruz is dangerous and reckless, his opinion carries no weight with me.
Poor Randy Brogdon. He’s the bride left standing empty-handed at the tea party altar. Why is he still in this race? Pack it up, Randy. It’s over.
