Earlier this week, Ted spoke with the Washington Post's James Hohmann about what the first 100 days of a Cruz administration might look like -- and we hope you're as excited for them as we are! With regard to the current administration, Ted noted, If you live by the pen, you die by the pen. Everything put in place by executive order can be undone by executive order, and that he'd use the transition put together a team to review every executive action made by President Obama and then rescind each and every one that exceeds "the Constitutional and legal authority of the President."
He also said he'd take quick action to ensure Iran doesn't acquire nuclear weapons, take steps to strengthen our relationship with Israel, push far-reaching tax and regulatory reform -- including a full repeal of Obamacare, and fight to put an end to Common Core. Read more from the interview here.
This week, Ted also spoke about how the upcoming King v. Burwell Supreme Court decision provides an opportunity for leadership. In the event the court rules the Obama Administration acted illegally in providing millions of Obamacare subsidies, Ted stated he opposes the approach advocated by some of continuing the subsidies through 2017. Instead he said, "I think the best legislative option is to allow states to opt out. I am cautiously optimistic that the Supreme Court will conclude in King v. Burwell that the Obama IRS disregarded the plain language of the statute and acted lawlessly. And when that occurs, it will be a real opportunity for Congress to lead. In a perfect world, we would take that opportunity to repeal Obamacare. At a minimum, we should allow states to opt out.
We also wanted to make sure you saw this article from National Journal earlier this week. In it, Ted is deemed the "Man of the Movement" for his courtship of conservative leaders at a recent forum with six other presidential contenders. Ted was described as "pitch perfect" and it was noted he "blew everyone else out of the water." And perhaps most importantly, he laid out a real strategy to win. I hope you'll read it here.
As always, we thank you for your continued support -- together we'll reignite the promise of America!
All the best,
Jeff Roe Campaign Manager Cruz for President
P.S. Next Friday, Ted will hold townhall meetings across Iowa, and if you're in the area, we'd love to have you there. Click here to find an event near you.
Cruz is not a warmonger.....are you a anti-war individual?
I say this because anyone who see’s Cruz as a warmonger almost has to be an anti-war person.
Cruz believes in giving our troops what they need to do the job they’re sent to do. He does not want their hands tied as this administration is doing.
Your using the liberal language and mindset by choosing to call people bigots...I’d hold off on that if I were you.
You’re thinking of Lindsey Graham. And your Rand Paul is a kook, just like his father, and shouldn’t be allowed into the White House for the tour. How do you like them apples?
You might have stumbled on to something...these guys seem to dislike Cruz more than Hillary!!!
I had him pegged as a Paulista...this is their tactics.
Fair question but no one so far. I’ll wait for the debates when the campaign hoopla is over. My preference will be someone with a specific number job plan and a strong U.S. military with a first, last and only foreign policy, other nations take care of themselves. We need to rebuild here. Another war at this time would be existential for us.
So you’re for Rand Paul!!
What an embarrassment this site is currently to any who might even consider checking to see what candidates are and doing...
Don’t worry...it’s just Paulista’s...this is what they do!!
“Isnt that interesting? The Anti-Ted-Cruz team is in the mood of attacking Heidi today. And they claimed the same thing that she was a VP. Are they just one person with different screen names?”
You know, I have had the same suspicions as you, as I also doubt their honesty.
So in other words Freepers are dancing to the Paul supporters trying to stir things up here against Cruz.....looks like many are taking thier bait while the Paulbots chuckle in their chairs watching the show.
I’m guessing that if we had a telephone poll their side would win!!!
No.. the freepers you refer to are the Paul supporters!!
I am not anti Cruz. But I suspect he is a mainstream Republican when it comes to Corporate cronyism and his H-1b program support is just a sign. He is no stranger to CoC, K-st and Wall st. His wife is an insider. I am supposed to suspend belief and go along with the Cruz or lose thing. I just can’t do that anymore.
Nope. Like I said no one so far until after the debates. But I'm not a Libertarian. Some think being against war is just for nuts, I don't.
Who are you for???
He is the bragging about hiring foreign nationals over US citizens and I am using the wrong word?
America.
What a joke...you sure aren’t waiting for the debates to hate on Ted Cruz calling him a warmonger ...In true Rand Paul speak. You are almost certainly a Paulbot!!
Nice dodge...are you that ashamed of him???
