HOUSTON, Texas U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today received the endorsement of Becky Gerritson, Co-Founder and President of the Wetumpka Tea Party (WTP) in Alabama and a courageous conservative who has fought with Alabama tea parties and various other liberty groups to combat the abuses of state and government overreach.
Gerritson released the following statement announcing her support of Sen. Cruz:
America needs a leader who is bold as a lion and will seek justice and always speak the truth, one who respects the rule of law and our US Constitution. We need a leader who will confidently rebuke our enemies both foreign and domestic. One who appreciates and supports our military. We need a leader of integrity who seeks wise council and who will maintain unity and order. One who believes in Americas greatness and will do his utmost to preserve and further it. That man is Ted Cruz.
In 2013, Gerritson appeared in front of the House Ways and Means Committee to give an impassioned speech about the abuses of the Obama IRS on the WTP, earning her national recognition:
Becky Gerritson is one of the most outspoken tea party leaders in the nation. She appears regularly on FOX News and FOX Business, along with multiple national talk radio programs. She is currently the National Grassroots Coordinator for Grassroots for Victory USA, and helped organize the Lets Put US Back in the USA, travelling America from August 2015 November 2016. Gerritson is an active member of the Alabama Stop Common Core Task Force and works to promote parental rights in America. In her spare time, she travels the nation speaking to audiences encouraging them to stand up for their First Amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty.

Wetumpka.
I don’t vouch for the accuracy. Current endorsements.

She has made a good choice with that endorsement. Cruz is a “sleeper” in this race due to the fact the media is keeping him down as far as they can get away with. Someone needs to listen to Cruz and hear what he says. Actually, I see Cruz as a “polished” Donald Trump.
I stand with Ted.
NOW is the time for all good conservatives to come to the aid of THE candidate
I think Cruz is building a great team with a mix of professional operatives (who I don’t love or trust) and loyal activists who will be there come hell or high water.
If you fill a team up with pros who are in it for the money, they’ll crater a campaign the first time another candidate comes along and offers more money. The loyal activists are as loyal as the day is long but they don’t know the game or the long time players. They are the true footsoldiers who will knock on doors in blizzards.
The activists can keep an eye on the pros for signs of treason and the pros can prevent common activist mistakes.
I don’t love Saul Anuzis but he’s the most powerful non elected republican in Michigan. He’s a former state GOP chairman and former RNC committeeman. He knows every republican in the state right down to the county level and a good many across the nation.
Wendy Day is a very quick witted solid conservative activist who saw Wendy Davis (TX abortion barbie) coming and snatched up the standwithwendy domain name and then sold it to the Huffington post to use the money to fund pro life causes.
