About Erick Wyatt

Immediately following graduation Erick Wyatt enlisted in the United States Army.

Why I'm Running
I’m running to serve, and I mean that in the old fashioned patriotic sense of the word. During my military career, as an Army Sergeant, I learned one thing above all else – serving others is more important than being served.
Our founding fathers envisioned a Senate where citizens, steeped in local values and rooted in real life experience, served with focus and commitment. Today, too many of the individuals we send to Washington have become career politicians – more interested in playing politics than finding solutions. I’m running for US Senate because our country is in grave trouble. We’re in trouble because we have strayed away from the very principles that the country was founded on. If elected, I will be a strong advocate for limited government, less spending, lower taxes, individual liberty, and preserving the Constitution.
Good luck, Erick! Cornyn needs to go!
The other candidate, Stovall I think?, was on Pratt on Texas yesterday. Wyatt needs to go to www.prattontexas.com and look for the link for candidates and get on the program also. I will be listening for him.
Welcome to FreeRepublic! Put some more information on here so we can get to know your better(nothing personal)!
I’ll pick you over Cornyn any day! Good luck!
Well, this is serendipitous. I was just exploring your website earlier this morning, to see who was running against John Cornyn. You’ll be getting a donation from me soon.
Not too long ago, it was only Graham in trouble. Now McConnell and Alexander are on very shaky ground. Cornyn is the next target.
Imagine offing four RINO backstabbers in the same election!
wish you all the best from north east FL.
that would be a dream, no more open borders, no more we have to cave all the time, no more homosexual agenda, Hell I could go on and on about the clowns we have
We’ve been looking for you. Feel free to jump in any time! Thank you for your service to our great Country!
EXCELLANT!
Thanks for this post!
On the off chance that Candidate Wyatt might be a lurker on FR, here is something to ponder, Erick:
Proven Federal Fact: The only way to balance the US Federal Spending and Income within the next two years is to execute this two step process:
1.) DEFUND Obamacare in 2013; and
2.) ABOLISH Obamacare, Democratcare, and Republicancare in the first month of 2014.
______________________
BTW US Congress men and women, failure to do BOTH of these timely steps will insure that your replacements will gladly do it for you.
It is all about the money, stupid - - - OUR taxpayer money!
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick ———
BTW, BTW, Candidate Erick, will you gladly execute the above steps?
Adjusting for the time of your election to the sorry US Senate, of course.
Q: Would you vote to defund Obama Care?
A: Yes I will vote to defund Obama Care. I have signed the pledge on http://www.dontfundobamacare.com/ stating so.
Q: Will you be as outspoken as Ted Cruz?
A: Yes I will be as outspoken as Sen. Ted Cruz. I am use to an environment where if you do not speak your mind, people may die. I will continue with my outspoken nature.
Q: You’re not even from Texas, what makes you think you can represent us?
A: I have lived in the state of Texas off and on for 15 years. I know the people of Texas, and I have the same hard working principals that the people of Texas have. I served in the US Army at Fort Hood on more then 1 occasion and was stationed in Galveston, TX while with the US Coast Guard.
Q: Where do you stand on an amendment to establish term limits for Members of Congress?
A: Erick Wyatt supports an amendment setting up a 2 term limit to all members of Congress.
Q: Where do you stand on marriage?
A: I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I do not and will not ever support same sex marriage.
Q: What qualifies you to be a US Senator?
A: I have been asked this question several times over the last couple weeks. Let’s be clear about a few things. I’m not an attorney, we already have enough of them in Washington. I don’t have a PHD or a Masters. In fact, I don’t even have a degree. What I do have is 15 years of service to this country. Eleven years in the Army and 4 years in the Coast Guard. I’ve gone to war for this country and have served this Country. I am a normal everyday middle class hardworking American that knows what it’s like to struggle from paycheck to paycheck at times.
He’s got my vote. I’ll contact Cornyn and tell him I’m so excited to get to vote against him. He won’t respond. He never has no matter what I contacted him about. Oh, wait. He did once. I told him in an email I was a large homebuilder. Got a “suck up” response almost immediately.
Krauthammer’s head would spin!
Ft. Worth area here.

I read your post and went to your web site, your campaign to be a Senator from Texas seems to be based on the fact that you served in the Army.
Even you own site merely says ‘I served in the Army, make me a Senator.’

Anybody But Cornyn
Greetings, Erick.
What are your positions on:
1. Bringing our troops home from around the globe?
2. Stopping foreign aid to everyone?
3. Truly securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws?
4. Doing away with dual-citizens here?
5. Abolishing the Fed and printing our own currency?
6. Ending the war on drugs and legalizing or non-criminalizing?
Thank you very much, AD
