Paul Pressler, a former Texas appeals court judge who has long been a supporter of conservative causes and active in Texas politics, announced Saturday that he is endorsing Sen. Ted Cruz (R) for president.
Pressler, who in 2012 hosted a large group of evangelical leaders who voted to coalesce their support behind Rick Santorums presidential campaign as a challenge to frontrunner Mitt Romney, said he announced his endorsement of Cruz at a meeting of conservatives in Washington Saturday.
I feel that Ted Cruz is electable and he stands by his convictions in an articulate manner, Pressler said in an interview Saturday.

Pressler said he has been friends with Huckabee for 30, 40 years and has also known former Texas governor Rick Perry, a prospective candidate, for decades. Pressler said he had made up his mind to endorse Cruz when the candidate called him and asked the judge to introduce him at the gathering and endorse him for president. Pressler first met Cruz when the candidate was a teenager. They have stayed in touch though they are not particularly close....

That’s it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!
Actually, this is probably a defining moment and will probably open up the floodgates.
I endorse Cruz with every hour I volunteer and every dollar I send to his campaign.

Hope so. I’d like to see a defining moment right here so we can stop dealing with the anti-conservative faction on FR that demands a RINO and concentrate on helping elect Cruz.
Rick Perry may be over-waiting. Cruz is sweeping a lot of Texas Moneymen into his corner. If Rick says he’s in, the biggest names may already have committed to Ted.
God Bless Judge Pressler and all those who give support to Ted Cruz! We don’t need the GOPe, we just need every day folks who will give of their time, their prayers, and whatever dollars they can spare. I am encouraged with each endorsement and each heart that has been pursuaded.
Lets all get behind 2nd Division Vet and support his bundling effort for Cruz. Link his tagline today!:)
Not just Texas. I’ve got Iowans, Californians, Nevadans, Utahns, Mississipians and New Yorkers donating.
He’s already picked up the biggest political operative in Michigan which will bring in money and votes.
I support Cruz 100%.
Ted Cruz IS the defining moment. There is the Conservative - Ted Cruz, and then there are the wannabes. ;>)
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
I always love your posts!! So Positive! :):)

Mr Pressler had a group together to determine their support in 2012. He voted for
Perry on the first three ballots but switched to Richard John “Rick” Santorum on
the fourth ballot where he got 70% and the groups support. Pressler can bring
money to the table.
Cruz got my vote...hell beat Hillary, Sanders or any Marxist - IN A FAIR ELECTION.
Paul Pressler with his conservative friends like Charles Stanley in Atlanta were the ones who removed the leftists from the Southern Baptist Church in the early 1970s.
As a result the Southern Baptists grew, while the other mainline denominations who opted to take the leftist path at that time have seen their memberships cut in half or more.
Cruz to Victory.
Hes already picked up the biggest political operative in Michigan which will bring in money and votes.A quote from the article:
This is a familiar theme from new Cruz supporters that has been repeated in Michigan, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, and several other places around the USA. People that take time to listen and get to know the man soon realize Cruz sincerely believes the core conservative message he brings and they appreciate his optimism and vision for America's future. I'm proud to support Ted Cruz with my time and donations.
If you sit down and listen to him youll see a passion, youll see a dedication to principles, youll see a person that understands the issues and can articulate them very well. And I think its something that people will listen to, Pressler said.
Reagan’s 1980 nomination acceptance speech was the perfect tone.
