I'm a Texan and Ted Cruz is a patriot. We need more of those like him.

I wish this country still produced such men. Travis was 26 when he wrote that letter.

I'll always appreciate Senator Ted Cruz reading Travis's letter on the floor of the Senate.

Always gives me goosebumps and a lump in my throat. 💔

Sir, I may not agree with your views, but, THANK YOU FOR READING THAT LETTER, LONG LIVE THE LONE STAR STATE

Growing up in Texas, this letter was part of the 7th grade Social Studies curriculum. I remember long nights memorizing this speech, and because I did, it has more meaning for me now. Thank you, Senator Cruz, for doing what you do in Washington, and may the politics inside the Beltway never change you.

Senator Cruz is one of the ONLY Senators who is doing what his State sent him to do...FIGHT. And God bless him. I wish we in CA had a patriot like him to represent us....or even one willing to do their damn job. Lucky Texans. And lucky for the rest of us that someone is willing to fight...not only for Texas, but for the Constitution we ALL lived under until it came under assault.

I'm sure the men at Benghazi felt the same way as Travis, but like Travis no one came to their rescue, to quote "What difference does it make now...Hillary R. Clinton."

I read this amazing letter to my students every March 6th. These heroes will never be forgotten. God Bless Texas.

I was born in Texas and I'm proud of it. I don't live there any more but once a Texan always a Texan. Ted Cruz is a statesman and a patriot. God bless him and Texas!

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

I hope Texans realize how lucky they are to have Ted Cruz as their Senator. He is a fearless leader and a brilliant man.

Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

Ted, I pray that the Washington cesspool never changes you. We need you - your leadership, constitutional champion, your family values, and your fearlessness. I don't live in Texas but we conservatives know a GREAT leader when we see one. Please don't disappoint us. We love you!

I'm from the okie side of the red river valley. I was raised with the OK vs. TX running through my blood... but in these times I'm ABSOLUTELY loving Texans lol. Kick some ass red states. Please pray we get another great human being to replace the out going Sen. Colburn.

People have forgotten our history, or more like the schools stopped teaching it! It is so imperative that we change our curriculum in our schools and turn back and I mean way back where learning our history takes precedence. I am over 60 and I learned more about our countries history from Glenn Beck's the Blaze than I was ever taught in school. It made me angry that I wasn't taught the things that matter,the things that made us proud and patriots of our country so many decades later. I had never heard this letter before and thank you for reading it. It shows us the Patriotism of Travis and all those who died with him! I can see how the left twisted our history or made it exempt and its not right. Its time to get rid of the left minded liberal bullcrap out of our schools!

God Bless Ted Cruz... one of the only true patriots in the” swamp”.

I agree "God bless Texas" I am proud that my ancestor is Lt. Col. William Barret. When I visited The Alamo I was shocked to find there wasn't a street named after Travis. If I remember correct There was a MLK blvd. maybe Sen. Cruz you could do something about this injustice. I know Col. Travis would appreciate it.. Thank you, Lester Alexander Caldwell Dixon. P.S I bet you didn't know Col. Travis was related to Vice Pres. John Caldwell Calhoun.

One of the command ers, who was in charge of attacking the weak palisade,where crockett and men guarded. A Mexican leader commented after the fall of the Alamo, these men fought with such fury, it awed the attackers. They gave their best shot, even tho all odds were against them .remember the Alamo indeed!

If you were president I think it would be called HEAVEN

God Bless Texas

I'm a Tennessean and Ted Cruz is indeed a patriot! I bet the sight of Ted Cruz makes John Cornyn we his drawers!

there is so much to glean from that letter from a man who at 26 yrs old had stress enough that it ran out of his ears but he stood fast.

yes we can

Remember The Alamo!!!!!! Remember Goliad!!!!!! LONG LIVE TEXAS!!!!!!

God bless TEXAS!!

I think Ted is telling the rest of the Senate that he doesn't intend to surrender to the Washington establishment, Republican or Democrat.

Cruz, s/have read Santa Anna's Victory letter to the War Minister in Mexico City; it starts out, "Victory Goes with the Mexican Army, at 8:15, the army achieved a total victory...." THIS was the first notice to the world that the Alamo had fallen! Crockett surrendered to the Mexican soldiers, only to be killed moments later. Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost. Bowie was found hiding under his bed covers, and killed on the spot. It's nice to see that Cruz and Texas celebrates a Mexican victory every year!

As a person from saluda and the literal ground of the cradle of Texas , (friends ) It is a disgrace our honor and all Americans. That such a heathen worm . Would dare quote those hallow words.

Please remind Mr Abott of this letter concerning the Alamo and its reimagine theory.

well for some reason she left out the part about the Mexicans when he mentions about a thousand and more under Santa Ana you should have that part in

Thank God for senator Cruz and Governor Abbot. May they be blessed against Biden’s careless cash grabbing behavior.

Ted Cruz would have left the Alamo for Cancun

Ted those Yankees could care less!

So Cruz intends to do the same thing, just on anothor level??

Is anyone else related to William B Travis?

★I'M4TEDCRUZ'16! ✊

Senator Cruz. You left out to much of the letter

#Cruz2016

The land of probable cause

before you make your judgement, ask yourself what texas won that they didn't have with mexico. you'll be surprised. just about a month before mexicans outlasted texans for a month. the alamo was proably the most misunderstood battle of all time. take the time to study.

CWW

anonazero ITS A texian BUT THAN AGAIN YOU LIKE CRUZ WOULD DONT THAT

🫡

Featured now and yet he's not upholding what that letter is standing for. At the moment of snow he ran away while the rest of us held our ground and try to survive.

Criz is such a phony; Santa Anna's VICTORY letter needs to be read there too!

Sad that Travis committed suicide at the north wall, when he saw all was lost!

ted you cannot stand to a reality tv show host and you want to read the letter of a real man fighting a army. You ted are a joke

God Bless Texas

Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
