Fellow Conservative:
I’m writing to urge you to support Ted Cruz for President.
The Republican primary field is getting crowded, but I endorsed Ted because he has been a steadfast patriot in the fight to ensure that America’s best days remain ahead of us.
On conservative fight after fight, Ted Cruz has led the way:
Ted led the battle against Obamacare, while fighting for the right and ability to choose our own best health care.
Ted led the fight opposing amnesty for illegal aliens amidst pressure from both parties to pass comprehensive immigration reform that included sweeping amnesty.
Ted led the effort to defend the Second Amendment as Northeast liberals tried to exploit a terrible tragedy to impose massive new gun control measures.
Ted led the way in opposing repeated debt ceiling increases as the leadership in his own party pushed the debt to over $18 trillion.
These are just a few examples. I’ve been in the foxhole with Ted and have seen first hand that he is a conservative we can trust.
Ted is facing increasing attacks from the media, Democrats and even other Republicans for standing on principle.
He needs our help to fight back.
Will you please make an urgent donation of $25, $50, $100 or $150 directly to the Cruz for President campaign right away?
The Make DC Listen PAC will cover all processing fees and costs so 100% of your donations will go directly to the Cruz for President campaign.
With a Ted Cruz as President, America will finally be respected around the world again as other nations will see a strong, courageous leader, who doesn’t waver on principle and who stands by our allies.
This is extremely urgent.
It’s critical that Ted’s campaign raise as much money as possible and they need our help before July 1st to meet their fundraising goals.
Can you please donate $25, $50, $100 or $150 right away directly to the Cruz for President campaign?
Ted Cruz is an authentic conservative willing to fight – and we can trust him to do what he says he’ll do.
If you wait any longer to support him, I’m very concerned we’ll have a repeat of 2008 and 2012 when the establishment and liberal media picked our nominee. That was a disaster and we can’t let it happen again.
Now is the time to support Ted Cruz with your most generous donation of $25, $50, $100, $150 or more before the July 1st FEC deadline.
With your help, Ted will prevail and we can restore the Shining City on the Hill!
For Liberty,
Louie Goumert signature
LOUIE GOHMERT U.S. CONGRESSMAN
P.S. I can’t tell you how important it is that we consolidate around Ted Cruz right now – before the liberal media and establishment can pick our presidential nominee. Please make an emergency contribution directly to the Cruz for President campaign right now to help them reach their fundraising goal before July 1st. Thank you!
Babble on.
Well, at least you reveals who you support.
Some here just troll against Cruz for those they that they don’t even want to admit they support.
There must be something positive to post for Trump...lets see....meh, nevermind.
Watch your mouth, you insignificant little weasel.
When are you going to let the power of God work on your attitude, ankle-biter?
Again, stop and take a deep breath before you retire. The subject is the endorsement of Ted Cruz by a prominent fellow Republican. It is you, who thinks it is about exchanging insults over your obsession over one issue; one that has yet to even be formulated in its final form (that is when a particular proposed agreement is actually submitted).
ROFL!!
Still can't figure it out? Your explanation of what is "perfectly appropriate" gives you the ability to change the subject, rather than discuss your candidates decision. I see that a lot with liberals.
Utter nonsense.
The comeback question, "so who do you support" gives one the ability to say, I agree that the candidate made a wrong decision, but I can't find a better candidate. Can tell me who would be better?
As I said the question is perfectly appropriate.
Your avoidance of the question tells me that you are afraid to defend your own candidate and/or that your are just being "moronic".
You are so sad. What a petty person you must be. I supported the honorable Mr. Cruz until he sold out. Ted is a trader. I no longer can accept the idea that Mr. Cruz has the best interest of America at heart.
Thanks for exposing your inability to discuss your candidates position.
Here's a few:
Trump wants to replace Obamacare with a single-payer system.
Trump supports the 2nd Amendment but supports the assault weapon ban.
Trump used to be pro-choice, but now claims to be pro-life.
Trump supports the right of real estate developers to use the government as a tool to confiscate private property through eminent domain.
The question was answered. Your ability to understand is at question now, I know you can read, but do you have the ability to comprehend?
Think of Trump as a sacrificial anode for the establishment and candidate for profit classes.
Follow the posts before you spew.
As bad as those items are, I suspect that his support of Big Government is even worse, based on his support of the Clintons and all the rest of the Democrats he gave money to.
The American people do not trust President Obama. And they do not trust Republican leadership in Congress. And the reason is simple: for far too long, politicians in Washington have not told the truth.
Both President Obama and Republican leadership are pressing trade promotion authority, also known as TPA, or “fast-track.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) both oppose it.
As a general matter, I agree (as did Ronald Reagan) that free trade is good for America; when we open up foreign markets, it helps American farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers.
But TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making, along with serious concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include.
Since the Senate first voted on TPA, there have been two material changes.
First, WikiLeaks subsequently revealed new troubling information regarding the Trade in Services Agreement, or TiSA, one of the trade deals being negotiated by Obama.
Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to fast-track.
When TPA last came up for a vote, both Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and I introduced amendments that would have barred fast-track treatment for any trade agreement that attempted to impact immigration law. Two other Republican senators objected, and we were both denied votes on our amendments. Instead, the House inserted substantially weaker language in related legislation.
At the time that Sessions and I introduced our amendments, many said our fears were unfounded. But now we have far more reason to be concerned.
Second, TPA’s progress through the House and Senate appears to have been made possible by secret deals between Republican Leadership and the Democrats.
When TPA first came up for a vote in the Senate, it was blocked by a group of senators, led by Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), both of whom were conditioning their support on the unrelated objective of reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank.
The Ex-Im Bank is a classic example of corporate welfare. It is cronyism at its worst, with U.S. taxpayers guaranteeing billions of dollars in loans for sketchy buyers in foreign nations. Ex-Im is scheduled to wind down on June 30. But powerful lobbyists in Washington want to keep the money flowing.
After witnessing several senators huddle on the floor the day of the TPA vote, I suspected that to get their votes on TPA, Republican Leadership had promised supporters of Ex-Im a vote to reauthorize the bank before it winds down.
At lunch that day, I asked Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) what precise deal had been cut to pass TPA. Visibly irritated, he told me and all my Republican colleagues that there was no deal whatsoever; rather, he simply told them they could use the ordinary rules to offer whatever amendments they wanted on future legislation.
Taking McConnell at his word that there was no deal on Ex-Im, I voted yes on TPA because I believe the U.S. generally benefits from free trade, and without TPA historically there have been no free-trade agreements.
But then the vote went to the House. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to the surprise of many, led House Democrats to oppose TPA en masse. (Technically, they voted against TAA, which was wrapped into the deal on TPA.)
At that point a group of House conservatives went to Speaker Boehner and said they could support TPA if Boehner agreed not to cut a deal with Democrats on Ex-Im, and just let the bank expire.
Boehner declined. Instead, it appears he made the deal with Democrats, presumably tossing in the Ex-Im Bank and also increasing tax penalties on businesses.
Moreover, the Speaker punished conservatives, wrongly stripping Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) of his subcommittee chairmanship, and reportedly threatening to strip other conservatives of their chairmanships as well.
Why does Republican Leadership always give in to the Democrats? Why does Leadership always disregard the promises made to the conservative grassroots?
Enough is enough. I cannot vote for TPA unless McConnell and Boehner both commit publicly to allow the Ex-Im Bank to expire—and stay expired. And, Congress must also pass the Cruz-Sessions amendments to TPA to ensure that no trade agreement can try to back-door changes to our immigration laws. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to vote no.
There’s too much corporate welfare, too much cronyism and corrupt dealmaking, by the Washington cartel. For too long, career politicians in both parties have supported government of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist, and for the lobbyist – at the expense of the taxpayers. It’s a time for truth. And a time to honor our commitments to the voters.
“Supported the honorable Mr. Cruz”, LOL. There’s not a single pro-Cruz post in your history since you crawled out of your burrow this go-round.
Hi TNMOUTH,
Thank you for posting this. I’m glad Louie is aboard. I’m confident he always was, just not publicly released.
His letter is an excellent re-cap of Ted Cruz’ efforts.
I refuse to engage those that attempt to sidetrack and divert this thread. I was taught that calling names and telling lies, is an ignorant man’s way of arguing without facts.
It is sad that an important post like yours gets obscured with such tripe.
Again, thank you for posting this. Please keep them coming.

Thanks for exposing your inability to discuss your candidates position.
Position on what?.. trade?...
Trump is a fascist.. not a socialist.. although he donates heavily to socialists..
Cruz is neither a fascist or a socialist.. i.e. basically the same thing..
which highlights his views on BOTH.. including “trade”..
I doubt you have a clue on how Congress actually works
AND is supposed to work....
You talk about trade and seem to have no idea on how trade works.. domestically or world wide..
You bitch like a little girl... with much imagination..
You’re “Tea Party”... serves imaginary tea..
Gosh, that sounds like Trump is a Democrat.
