Interrupting Senator Cruz...

Sunday afternoon Aaron asked if I wanted to go to Palmer to see Ted Cruz and Dan Sullivan at a get out the vote rally. Since I had no other plans and it sounded fun I went to my first political rally.

It was an interesting experience to hear politicians speak. You want to believe all they are saying, yet at the same time you know they are politicians. Only time will tell us if they will follow through on their word. But I will say, out of all the people I have heard speak, I believe these two will work to honor what they promised.

As Senator Cruz was speaking he had many points, sanctity of life, second amendment freedoms, restoration of state's rights, and religious freedom. While speaking on how the government has encroached on religious freedoms he mentioned the subpoenas issued to pastors in Houston, Texas.

He said he felt like as a believer he needed to call his pastor and just set aside a time to pray. So he called his Pastor Gregg Matte from Houston's First Baptist Church. Pastor Matte is an Aggie who started Breakaway on campus at Texas A&M University. As he mentioned Pastor Matte and First Houston, Aaron and I both Whooped. It was a perfectly timed and placed Whoop. That was not planned.

Since it was  a relatively quite moment during his story, our reaction was loud and heard throughout the rally. We surprised Senator Cruz, he stopped and said he would have to let Pastor Matte know he got a Whoop from Alaska.
 
After the rally concluded we waited to speak to Senator Cruz and scored this awesome picture. As well as a shocked look when we invited him to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.
