Thanks for those links. I listened to them all. I continue to be amazed and overwhelmed by this man and what he stands for. America needs Ted Cruz!

You are most welcome my friend. I'm glad that you were able to see and hear Sen. Cruz in Murfreesboro yesterday. Actually, the crowd in Franklin was considerably larger than the one in Murfreesboro. In the photo below, you can see me in the very back trying to look over everyone's head to see the Senator. But since we have never met and you wouldn't be able to recognize me in the photo, I will tell you my head is almost lined up directly behind Senator Cruz's head and I'm standing all the way in the back. I was hoping to have Sen. Cruz sign my book but because I wasn't aggressive enough I just missed out on that opportunity. Right before he exited the side door, I was very close to him with my book in hand but finally had to concede when police officers escorting him out said he had to go.

Ted Cruz fires up supporters in Tupelo
TUPELO – Amidst the smell of fried chicken and blueberry donuts, more than 500 people rallied in the Connie’s Chicken parking lot Tuesday morning to hear U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) give a speech about igniting the conservative fire.
The humidity blazed on, but Cruz supporters waved hand flags printed with “Cruz Country” while they waited for the presidential candidate’s arrival.
Clutching Cruz’s biography, supporter Terry Beam said Cruz has all the attributes of being the president.
“He’s got the courage, the intelligence, the character,” he said. “That’s why he’s the real deal.”
Cheers erupted as the black tour bus, with “Courageous Conservatives, Reigniting the Promise of America” printed on the side, rolled in.
A rousing chorus of “Ted, Ted, Ted” kept on until he stepped out of the bus.
Before Cruz spoke, state Sen. Chris McDaniel climbed into the back of a blue vintage Ford F-250 truck and told the crowd they would not be rallying if they were happy with the status quo.
“We live in an uncertain time, a fearful time, and we’re looking for leaders that can lead with courage,” McDaniel said. “We’ve been looking for a leader like (Ronald Reagan), and I think we’ve found that leader in Ted Cruz.”
Cruz followed wearing a striped button-down tucked into blue jeans.
Atop the truck, he told the crowd what he planned to do in his first day of office: rescind every “illegal and unconstitutional” executive action, direct the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Planned Parenthood, stop the persecution of religious liberty, get rid of the “catastrophic” Iran Deal and begin the process of moving America’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Cruz called out the Democratic party in regards to their lack of debate.
“I’m pretty sure the Democratic debate is going to consist of Hillary (Clinton) and a Chipotle clerk,” he said, garnering laughs from the audience. “Actually that’s not fair. We can’t forget Bernie Sanders.”
A rallier in the crowd shouted, “He got jokes!”
Cruz received the most cheers when he said he will pass a fundamental tax reform, adopting a simple flat tax, and abolishing the IRS.
He said supporters should padlock the IRS building, take the 90,000 employees and put them on the U.S. southern border.
“Imagine you’d traveled 1,000 miles in the blazing sun. You were swimming across the Rio Grande, and the first thing you saw was 90,000 IRS agents. You’d turn and go home, too,” he said.
Cruz ended his speech by encouraging young people in Mississippi to become “arsonists.”
“Spread the fire of liberty,” he said. “Spread it from one person to another person until it catches on in this country until we realize the free people can do anything.”
Grant Sowell, chairman of the Tupelo Tea Party, said Cruz’s arrival was a dream come true.
“I’ve met a lot of wonderful candidates in the last election like Michelle Bachman and Newt Gingrich, but Ted Cruz is a dream candidate,” he said. “He shows backbone and courage in the face of political correctness.”

BBJ, I have never cared for rap music seeing how I'm an R&B kind of guy but thought I would share this music with you. If this music and message help mobilize American Christians to civic duty, how can that be a bad thing? Thoughts?
We Are Watchmen is a movement that uses music and message to mobilize American Christians to civic duty.

America needs another Ronald Reagan.
Flash, if I haven't said this before, I think a Cruz presidency would either equal or eclipse Reagan's presidency--and that's saying a lot. America needs Ted Cruz!
