Massachusetts most conservative legislator, will be hosting the United States Senate's most conservative senator for a meet and greet at his home, in "The Barn.". The date is May 30th, at 6 p.m. This event has no cost. It is free, there isn't even a "suggested donation." It is a pure meet and greet.

From an Email by Jim:

Next week, Bernadette and I will be hosting a meet and greet at the Barn with US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Senator Cruz is a great believer in the tenants of limited government and individual liberty which we have made a cornerstone of our time on Beacon Hill. Details of the event are below. We are asking anyone planning on attending to RSVP to Ethan Zorfas at ezorfas@tedcruz.org. We hope you will be able to join us.

The Barn is a center of conservative activism in Massachusetts. Much like the Liberty Clubhouse in Central Massachusetts, the Lyons have made their home available for countless conservative candidates and causes. This is not an event to be missed.

The address is 12 Highvale Lane and RSVP's are required at the email address above.

What: Meet and Greet with Senator Ted Cruz Where: The Barn, 12 Highvale Lane, Andover MA When: Saturday May 30, 2015, 6-8pm

Great idea. But please, it’s “tenets” not “tenants.”

They’re saying Rubio won:

If my name were Jim Lyons or Rob “EaBo Clipper” Eno I could see your point.

I grew up in Connecticut, and while it was never and still isn’t a conservative hotbed, there are many people there who don’t care for the left all that much. I was a teenager when Reagan won in 1980 and even the moderates were excited about him after four years of Jimmy Carter. Connecticut went to Reagan as did every state in the northeast except Rhode Island. Not saying the same scenario plays out next year, but a few wins in the northeast will help elect a Republican next year. This needs to happen, and as I said earlier I think Maine, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania are doable for them. Let’s get it done and start taking this country back from the left.

They lied about the numbers.

I was there, I have witnesses.

Tip it to Matt Drudge that they’re fudging the numbers.

Great idea ...

Today I sent the original story out (below) as a national press release to parties such as Drudge, Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, AP, 15 major Florida newspapers, CNN, Fox news ... Washington Times ... many others.

I'm not surprised by somebody "getting the straw poll numbers wrong" /sarcasm-off ...

The FIRST thing I did upon arrival at the meeting was to copy the Candidate names down in my notebook, in the exact order as the "blue" Straw Poll Ballot.

That way, when the vote cout was announced, I could quickly and "accurately" transcribe the numbers as they were announced.

Kevin Wright, a fellow attendee, was standing immediately to my right as the vote numbers were announced, and I was "indeed" surprised when the moderator said "30.7 percent for Marco Rubio" ...

I turned to Kevin and asked "30.7 for Marco" ?

Kevin replied, "Yes !" ...

all in the space of 10 seconds ...

after which I continued writing down the remained of the numbers.

I stand by my account, the famously "liberal" Tampa Bay Times notwithstanding.




Today's Press Release:

Ted Cruz SURPRISES the GOP Beltway Establishment Pundits at the FFPC Florida Straw Poll (May 19, 2015) in Orlando, Florida.

A virtual dead-heat between Ted Cruz (30.3 %) and supposed "Florida native son darling" Marco Rubio (30.7 %).

Jed Bush and Scott Walker shared third-place with a paltry 8.9 % each, barely passing an otherwise weak showing by Rick Santorum (6.7 %), Rand Paul (4.5 %), Ben Carson (3.4 %), Mike Huckabee (2.2 %) and Rick Perry (1.1 %).

GOP 2016 candidates Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and John Kasich each received "zero" straw poll votes.


Political analysts view this straw poll victory for Senator Ted Cruz as reinforcing the idea that America's Conservative voters are deciding very early on to consolidate behind the best qualified genuine conservative candidates, and NOT repeat the disaster of the "Political Circular Firing Squad" in 2012 when Mitt Romney and the Karl Rove Establishment GOP defeated in detail otherwise excellent candidates such as Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.


Shown below (photograph courtesy of conservative political consultant Kevin Wright) are ten of the estimated twenty-five Ted Cruz Florida grassroots supporters who attended the FFPC event.

Their attendance was noteworthy in that most of the Ted Cruz attendees received only three days advance notice of the event.


Douglas Coggeshall, a Conservative Evangelical Christian who is building a Florida grassroots organization for all of Florida's 67 counties, challenged the FFPC event's attendees to build effective county-level grassroots organizations NOW, to defeat the Jeb Bush GOP $ 100 million dollar juggernaut in the GOP Presidential State primaries in 2016.

Coggeshall invited event attendees to participate in the July 18 Tampa planning meeting for the Ted Cruz Florida Grassroots Victory Campaign.


The Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) event was superbly moderated by John Stemberger (Florida attorney) who presented a comprehensive examination of individual candidate strengths and weaknesses prior to the straw poll vote. Discussion leads included Carl Stevens, Sara Johnson, Florida Senator Alan Hayes, Bryan Empric, Karin Hoffman and Pastor Kurt Kelly.

Discussion leaders Carl Jackson (columnist) and Karin Hoffman (Tea Party national leader) pointed to Ted Cruz's extraordinary record of accomplishment while serving as U.S. Senator, and his unique quality of NOT having "flip-flopped" on any campaign issues, unlike GOP 2016 presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker.


Florida State Senator Alan Hayes received a standing ovation as the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) recognized his accomplishments and dedication to successfully passing legislation to protect unborn children in Florida.

Sen. Hayes’ powerful leadership in the Florida Pro-Life movement was enthusiastically applauded.
