The News with Sen. Cruz - April 3, 2013

Greetings,

It is a real honor to stand up for Texas in Washington, D.C. It is an even greater privilege to meet with Texans across the Lone Star State and hear first-hand how the federal government is harming economic growth and how we can let the private sector thrive. Throughout the past week, I've visited with thousands of Texans, taken to the airwaves to defend our Second Amendment rights, and stood with Texas leaders in opposition to Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. I hope you'll read this update below and pass it on to your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

All the best,

Ted Cruz
