Mr. Cruz touted his record fighting for religious liberty in the Supreme Court and said the battles have intensified — pointing to the pushback that lawmakers received in Indiana and Arkansas over their efforts to protect people’s ability to exercise their religious beliefs.

I pray everyone will stand with Cruz and fight. I think it matters more than any other issue, because without our religious freedom, everything else is hollow and meaningless.

We need evangelicals to turn out like they did for Bush. Only Cruz is 50 times better.
I used to shake in my boots when a conservative made a statement like this. but FR has beaten that out of me :) People who wont vote for this statement weren’t going to vote Republican anyway.
