Cruz to visit Chicago GOP next Wednesday

CHICAGO - Some say he's a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate - and he's not discouraging that kind of talk. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will be headlining a breakfast fundraiser for the 43rd Ward Republicans and the Chicago Republican Party on Wednesday, October 22, two weeks before the election.

"We're grateful that Senator Cruz is helping our effort in Chicago," said Chris Cleveland, 43rd Ward Republican Committeeman. "It's rare to get someone of his stature for a local ward organization."

The proceeds will go to support Republican candidates running in the City of Chicago.

The breakfast event is at DePaul University's Cortelyou Commons, 2324 N Fremont St in Chicago, 8:00 am - 9:00 am, October 22. Tickets are $40. Purchase tickets here.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
