Freedomworks announces John Cornyn protests across Texas

From Freedomworks' Grassroots director:

John Cornyn  left from Senator Lee’s fight to Defund ObamaCare. 

Cornyn should be doing everything he can to fight Obama’s health care takeover. Yet pressure from Mitch McConnell made him squirm, and Cornyn abandoned Senator Lee.\ 

We need to find out why he refuses to stand with Mike Lee and do everything he can to protect Texas from ObamaCare. 

Will you join activists from across the Lonestar State as we pay a visit to John Cornyn’s district offices? 

Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul are doing everything possible to stop ObamaCare from being implemented. Yet the GOP Establishment is working to stop them. 

John Cornyn is standing with the Republican elites instead of Texas. And you deserve to know why. 

Texans need answers on why their Senator is standing with the Republican Establishment instead of Texas. Join me and other activists as we visit his district offices to find out why.

You can find Senator Cornyn office locations here.

Freedomworks Talks Battleground Texas

This is a few weeks old, but we didn't see it during the abortion debate:



Highlights:

•  Activists are getting turned off by the GOP's shenaningans.
• Personal Note: DUH 

•  The state GOP has yet to reveal their plan.

• 9.5 million Latinos in Texas but only 2.3 million voted last year

• A clear, consistent message of limited government and economic opportunity appeals to all demographic groups.

• For the Record: Colorado was NEVER a solidly red state

Senator Ted Cruz: The Secret Freedomworks Speech

Senator Ted Cruz made an unannounced visit to the Freedomworks Texas summit today:




Highlights:

•  We're winning and it's because of what folks like us are doing

•  The Obama people tried to protest the Senator's office in Dallas and Tea Party folks outdrew them 3:1.

• There are few things elected officials like less than getting heat from their constituents.

• "We've had five or six lunches with a bunch of Republican Senators standing up and looking at Rand [Paul] and Mike [Lee] and me and yelling at us at the top of their lungs...I mean really upset...and they say 'look, why did you do this, as a result of what you did, when I go home my constituents are yelling at me that I've gotta stand up on principle!"
• I'm really not making that up.

• Before you did that [threatened to filibuster gun control legislation] the politics were great, the Dems were the bad guys and the Republicans were the good guys; now we just look like a bunch of squishes.
• "Well, there's an alternative, you could just not be a bunch of squishes."

•  Gun control isn't over.

• How do you get something bad passed in Washington?!?
• You do it fast and in the middle of night.

• Success begets success; if we stand up once, we'll do it again.
