Ted Cruz, A Vote for Michelle Nunn is a Vote for Harry Reid

Featured Stories

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) was in Canton, Georgia this past Saturday campaigning for David Perdue. Senator Cruz is well known on a national level and is a Tea Party favorite.

With only days left in the Georgia Senate race, Cruz made a run through the state firing up the base and encouraging them to get out the vote. Real Clear Politic’s recent poll has (D) Nunn at 45.5% (R) Perdue 45.2% and (L) Swafford 3.8%.
(I have placed the entire video of Senator Ted Cruz’s campaign speech and my interview with him at the bottom of this article.)

Cruz told the crowd that the country was close to the point of no return, it’s now or never. That this election was about three things, jobs, liberty and security.

Michelle Nunn is running as a moderate trying to distance herself from President Obama and Harry Reid

but Cruz says that is not who she really is and that he knows

“Michelle Nunn is Harry Reid.”

Democrats running in red states are doing everything they can to distance themselves from President Obama and Senate leader Harry Reid. Many will not even admit voting for the President or will they say if they will vote for Harry Reid for Senate Majority Leader.

Cruz then told the room some of the things that Democrats are saying in the Red States:

“they promise their values are just like yours. There is a game that red state Democrats play.”
“look I’m not like those crazy Democrats in Washington, you know my party, all the things they do, I don’t believe in that.”

Cruz then said:

“Let me tell you right now every single one of them are lying to you.”

Michelle Nunn says she is not one of those Washington Democrats but the first and most important vote she will make is for Harry Reid,

“Michelle Nunn is Harry Reid.”

“If you want to stop the train wreck that is ObamaCare, to repeal every word of it, then vote the Democrats out.”

Cruz then went after Harry Reid.

“Let’s talk about Harry Reid. Harry Reid has declared war on religious liberty and free speech.”

“There was a time when there was bipartisan support on religious freedom. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed in the 1990’s 97-3. Signed by Bill Clinton. In today’s Washington, out of 55 Senate Democrats, do you know how many stood up for religious liberty? ‘0’.
Elect Michelle Nunn and you get 56.”

“Do you know how many voted to uphold the First Amendment? Democrats strip your First Amendment rights and Free Speech. Out of 55, ‘0’.”

“This election is about securing the border and stopping amnesty. I introduced legislation to stop President Obama’s illegal amnesty. Do you know how many Democrats voted with me out of 55? ‘0’”

“This election is about security. Roughly 100 Americans have gone to fight with ISIS. I introduced legislation that says that any American who travels and joins ISIS and takes up arms fighting Jihad against us loses his or hers citizenship.”

Cruz then went on to close the rally with the Conservative battle cry,

“If you want jobs and economic growth vote David Perdue.
If you want to repeal Obama Care vote David Perdue.
If you want to abolish the IRS vote David Perdue.
If you want to defend religious liberty and free speech vote David Perdue.
If you want to defend the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms vote David Perdue.
If you want to secure the border and stop Obama amnesty, vote David Perdue.
Georgia is going to lead the way to retire Harry Reid.”

After the rally Texas Senator Ted Cruz, David Perdue and Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson held a short press conference. In an opening statement Cruz told reporters, the Obama economy is a disaster. ObamaCare is a train wreck. Obama – Clinton foreign policy has left the world on fire.

This past week the new Democratic campaign strategy is to say that President Obama will only be there another two years and the Senate seat is a six year job.

FYN asked about the Democratic strategy that Obama will only be there two more years. How critical are the next two years?

Cruz said in the last two years, if you think the Obama agenda has been extreme and radical the first six years I’m afraid you have not seen anything yet. This president in the final two years intends to double down on executive overreach, on lawlessness, on regulatory abuse.

FYN asks if anything can be done if the president does an executive order on amnesty.

Cruz said President Obama has told the American people he intends to illegally grant amnesty to another 5-6 million people who came here illegally. Initially he was going to do it before the election but Democrat Senators came to him and pleaded please don’t do this before the election because we kind of think the voters won’t like it.

With a Republican majority my hope is that we will bring up and vote on legislation to make it clear the president has no unilateral authority to grant amnesty.

If you want to stop amnesty the election is a straightforward referendum on stopping amnesty and if Michelle Nunn is elected and Harry Reid remains majority leader it is 100% certain that the US Senate will do zero to stop President Obama’s illegally amnesty.

Cruz closed with a statement for his Libertarian friends.

“I love Libertarians. I want to speak directly to Libertarians, Obama and Harry Reid’s agenda is fundamentally opposed to liberty. Listen, maintain your passion for liberty but show up and vote for David Perdue and then hold him accountable.”
