Obamacare continues to be an anchor on the legs of American business and is totally restructuring what was the greatest health care system in the world.  Read about our speaker and background on this important dinner briefing here.

This is a timely discussion since Hillary Clinton's first foray into national issues was her efforts to foist upon us a program similar to Obamacare when Bill Clinton was our President.  I was one of the national spokesmen in the campaign that finally derailed that effort.  But now we are faced with the results of a one-vote margin of victory in the Senate that brought us Obamacare.

Please join us on Thursday evening, October 13th.

Thanks to the generous support of the Reinsch Pierce Family Foundation, dinner is only $55, and you can register for this outstanding event by clicking here.

Tea Party Patriots PAC Endorses Donald Trump
From Tea Party Patriots Citizen Fund -
In case you missed it, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund endorsed Donald Trump for President on Thursday. Our endorsement process kicked off last December, and throughout the process, we have taken direction from you, our grassroots activists and supporters. The choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is, we believe, an easy one, and we are kicking off our volunteer activities to help Trump win the White House and help the GOP retain control of the Senate.

In our endorsement release, we noted the stark contrast between Hillary Clinton's policy positions and Donald Trump's. Whereas Hillary Clinton stands opposed to our tea party principles and priorities, Trump has embraced them.

From our release: "The simple fact is this: With a Republican House and a Republican Senate and Donald Trump in the White House, Tea Party members and supporters will be far more likely to see our preferred policy choices enacted into law: We are far likelier to see the future of the Supreme Court protected, the borders secured, terrorism fought effectively, ObamaCare repealed, the national debt reduced, and the tax code reformed in such a way that the economy is energized and job growth soars.

Read our full endorsement here.

It is an honor to introduce Mr. Don Fotheringham, a WWII veteran and a Constitutionalist who has been defending our Constitution for many years, and warning of the risks of an Article V Convention to amend /change our Constitution, referred to as a Con Con. Mr. Fotheringham is the author of the book, The President Makers: How Billionaires Control US Foreign Policy. 
 
There has been a movement since the 1960s to change our Constitution by numerous groups on the left and the right to amend the Constitution through a convention.
 
Since 1989 Mr. Fotheringham has testified in 23 state legislative sessions seeking either to repeal existing Constitutional Convention (Con Con), resolutions or to block new ones. He has had remarkable success.

BIO
 
Mr. Fotheringham is a Marine veteran of WWII who was at Iwo Jima.
He is a graduate from the University of Utah with a degree in political science.  As the Cold War escalated, Don realized that freedom won on the battlefield was being lost in Washington.  He realized that America's foreign and domestic policies were in serious violation of constitutional limits on the power of government. 
That's when Don "enlisted" in a whole new kind of war - a war to alert his fellow citizens to questionable loyalty in high places and threats to the U.S. Constitution.  
In 1983 Mr. Fotheringham discovered a well-organized movement to hold a new constitutional convention.  He was alarmed because such a convention can make unlimited changes in the Constitution. He found that 32 of the 34 states (the two-thirds required to trigger a federal convention) had passed legislation for a convention on their intent to get a Balanced Budget Amendment added to the Constitution. 
Mr. Fotheringham currently lives in Utah.

#NeverHillary


Dear Robert,

This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election.
 
In Cleveland, I urged voters, “please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”
 
After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
 
I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word.
 
Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary.
 
Six key policy differences inform my decision. First, and most important, the Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights — free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment — the Court hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as four new justices. We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices “in the mold of Scalia.”
 
For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees — including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice — and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for voters to choose to support Trump.
 
Second, Obamacare. The failed healthcare law is hurting millions of Americans. If Republicans hold Congress, leadership has committed to passing legislation repealing Obamacare. Clinton, we know beyond a shadow of doubt, would veto that legislation. Trump has said he would sign it.
 
Third, energy. Clinton would continue the Obama administration’s war on coal and relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry. Trump has said he will reduce regulations and allow the blossoming American energy renaissance to create millions of new high-paying jobs.
 
Fourth, immigration. Clinton would continue and even expand President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty. Trump has promised that he would revoke those illegal executive orders.
 
Fifth, national security. Clinton would continue the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism. She would continue importing Middle Eastern refugees whom the FBI cannot vet to make sure they are not terrorists. Trump has promised to stop the deluge of unvetted refugees.
 
Sixth, Internet freedom. Clinton supports Obama’s plan to hand over control of the Internet to an international community of stakeholders, including Russia, China, and Iran. Just this week, Trump came out strongly against that plan, and in support of free speech online.
 
These are six vital issues where the candidates’ positions present a clear choice for the American people.
 
If Clinton wins, we know — with 100% certainty — that she would deliver on her left-wing promises, with devastating results for our country.
 
My conscience tells me I must do whatever I can to stop that.
 
We also have seen, over the past few weeks and months, a Trump campaign focusing more and more on freedom — including emphasizing school choice and the power of economic growth to lift African-Americans and Hispanics to prosperity.
 
Finally, after eight years of a lawless Obama administration, targeting and persecuting those disfavored by the administration, fidelity to the rule of law has never been more important.
 
The Supreme Court will be critical in preserving the rule of law. And, if the next administration fails to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then I hope that Republicans and Democrats will stand united in protecting our fundamental liberties.
 
Our country is in crisis. Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to be president, and her policies would harm millions of Americans. And Donald Trump is the only thing standing in her way.
 
A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don’t want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him.
 
For liberty,
Ted Cruz
