HERE’S WHAT TED CRUZ DID AFTER HOUSTON MAYOR SUBPOENAED PASTORS’ SERMONS

OCTOBER 16, 2014 EDITOR ANNISE PARKER, FIRST AMENDMENT,HOUSTON, TED CRUZ, TEXAS

The decision by Annise Parker (the lesbian mayor of Houston) to subpoena sermons might be one she regrets.

That’s because there’s been tremendous backlash against the liberal city council after they demanded to see any sermons that addressed homosexuality, gender identity, or the mayor herself.

And there should have been backlash because Parker’s demands are a clearviolation of first amendment rights.

What’s more outrageous is the White House had no comment on the issue. Where the President should be standing up for constitutional freedoms, he’s been conspicuously silent.

Fortunately, not all politicians are out to attack the first amendment.

And some, like Senator Ted Cruz, will gladly defend it.

Cruz appeared in Houston to show he wasn’t going to let political underlings make a mockery of the Christian faith and the first amendment. His appearance was meant to show liberals that the government is supposed to stand up for rights… not trample them for their own personal vendettas.

Cruz blasted the city council for their Gestapo tactics, saying:

I’m proud to stand with the pastors. Religious liberty is the very first protection in the Bill of Rights, the foundation of all our liberties. The City of Houston’s subpoenas demanding that pastors provide the government withcopies of their sermons is both shocking and shameful.

For far too long, the federal government has led an assault against religious liberty, and now, sadly, my hometown of Houston is joining the fight. This is wrong. It’s unbefitting of Texans, and it’s un-American.

The government has no business asking pastors to turn over their sermons.

These subpoenas are a grotesque abuse of power, and the officials who approved them should be held accountable by the people. The Mayor should be ashamed. And we should all be proud to stand up and defend the pastors who are resisting these blatant attempts to suppress their First Amendment rights.

The Texas senator’s words are a touching gesture from a D.C. politician.

Unfortunately, Americans are used to watching the establishment violate Constitutional rights with impunity. Hardly ever do they see the establishment standing up for them.

Cruz has been one of the more honorable politicians to make his round in the D.C. circuit. Though he isn’t perfect, he certainly has done his part to ruffle some feathers in the Republican party.

But Cruz can’t turn the tide alone. The government is working tirelessly to strip you of basic rights and freedoms.
