ATLANTA, GA. – Sen. Ted Cruz told a group of conservative activists the first actions he would take should he be elected president during a speech today.
Speaking at the Red State Gathering, Cruz said that there are five policies he would implement on his first day in the Oval Office.
The first action would be to “rescind every illegal executive action taken by Barack Obama,” including his “executive amnesty.”
Next, he would “instruct the Department of Justice to open an investigation into Planned Parenthood” and to prosecute any criminal conduct uncovered.
Then he would instruct the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service to “cease persecuting” individuals seeking to practice their faith in their workplace.
The Little Sisters of the Poor, he said, “would receive a letter in the mail that their case has been dismissed.” He said they would also receive “an invitation to the White House to tell their story to the world.”
Then he would “end the catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal.”
Cruz argued that by lifting economic sanctions on Iran, the Obama administration had become “the leading global financier of radical Islamic terrorism.”
Finally, he would “begin the process to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.”
Moving the embassy to Israel’s “eternal capital,” he said, would send “a message to the world that we stand with our allies.”
Cruz also condemned House and Senate leadership for seeking “show votes,” and failing to fight cronyism, corporate welfare and allowing the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank.
Prayers that this strong man can get elected in the recently ‘fundamentally transformed’ USSA.
If you are a Trump supporter, don't bother. Please move on to another thread.
And of course no one will lie to him.
He had a HUGE crowd in GA today
Oh really? You’re banning Trump supporters too?
That will involve the Congress. He will not promise what he cannot do.
Sounds like a nice start.
The freshman Senator from Texas is talking mighty tall.
Just like the freshman Senator from Illinois eight years ago, and we all know how that turned out.
NO MORE SENATORS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Very productive first day!
I have a tough time trying to understand how anyone who calls them self a conservative would not vote for Cruz. We have a lot of good candidates, but he is way better than the rest.
he’s pretty credible and he sure has his head screwed on straight
(all he needs is a wild organgey wig like Trump’s and maybe he can win? smile smile.. is that a wig, or what?)
#6 (But I would do it #1)Arrest Louise Slow Learner and the entire chain of supervision above her.
#7 Arrest Satan in a Pantsuit
#8 Abolish any and ALL Federal funding for Sanctuary Cities
#9a Inform the UN that they had 90 days to relocate and after that time their diplomatic status would be revoked
#9b Withdraw the US from the UN
#10 Abolish all non Constitutionally mandated agencies and departments with the exception of the FBI and CIA Some of these are useful and could be restarted AFTER THE BUDGET IS BALANCED AND THE DEBIT PAID OFF
#11 Rescind the visas of any immigrant that is a Muslim
#12 Borrow Donald Trump’s vocabulary to tell the demonrats what I think of them
They have been saying all day that they don't want anything to do with this gathering. Then why do they bother to get into this thread?
I just want to warn them so they don't have to waste their time.
That will involve the Congress. He will not promise what he cannot do.
Will Obama’s Justice Department chose not to contest defend certain laws being contested in the courts.
Why couldn’t a Cruz administration follow Obama’s lead in the matter of ObamaCare.
Cruz should simply announce that he and his administration admits that the Affordable Care act is unconstitutional and that they would not defend it in court.
Shhh.. no Trump talk on this thread!
