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 Israels 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.
Sounds good...
“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.”
Ho about prosecuting those that acted illegally in the IRS and the Justus Dept???
A Ted Cruz presidency would be the best thing to happen to America since Ronald Reagan.
“If you are a Trump supporter, don’t bother. Please move on to another thread. “
Yes, we should move to a thread where the candidate says America First! America Wins!, and not “More 325,000 cheap H-1B labor foreign workers for corporations!”
In some ways I think he’s better than Reagan.
Yes, he had. Here is the video from Newnan, GA.

Shhh, don’t tell the truth about the One True Conservative(TM).
Please. Are you really that insecure about Cruz’s strengths? I’m not.
It’s not your decision. Good grief. I’m a Cruz supporter and this is ridiculous.
“Yes, we should move to a thread where the candidate says America First! America Wins!, and not More 325,000 cheap H-1B labor foreign workers for corporations!
Send money to Hillary and Bill while you are there!
Trump supported single payer health care, Bill / Hillary, Amnesty, abortion,.....
Why would red state want him?
He’s campaign flipped on 10X more issue then Romney.
Ted Cruz has spent a lifetime fighting to defend the Constitution our nations founding document and the supreme law of the land which was crafted by our founding fathers to act as chains to bind the mischief of government and to protect the liberties endowed to us by our Creator.
Religious Liberty
Second Amendment
U.S. Sovereignty
Government Overreach
The five things he mentioned are all things he can do as president. Ending Obamacare would require Congress.
Sad thing—Cruz will never get the chance. He will never be President. The fix is in—It will be Bush III. Maybe Carla as VP (she’s a woman you know) —They are set to lose. What should happen? The GOP should be pulled from power—they are a stocking horse for the DNC. Straw men to be defeated by whom ever the progs put up. Think Dole, Think MCain, Think Mittens.
“I actually believe him based on his past actions. He was clearly a fighting conservative since before most of us had ever heard of him.”
Remarkable how few candidates that actually applies to.
Why? Obama changed the friggan thing how many times?
I noticed that too, but I think it's a philosophical thing. Cruz didn't promise to repeal Obamacare on January 20, 2017, because President Cruz will not have that authority. I assume he will push to repeal that evil law quickly, and that he will promise to do so in his campaign, but the repeal lacks the urgency of his first day promises. So long as Cruz repeals Obamacare within the first few weeks, that is soon enough to start planning for the new calendar year eleven months later.
I don't care what parliamentary maneuvers are required; Obamacare must die. If the Senate has to "go nuclear", that is appropriate after the way Obamacare was rammed through. If they have to stick it as one line in a reconciliation bill, I'm okay with that too. It is one of the most important things President Cruz will do, but killing Obamacare can wait for days or even weeks (but not months!) before he starts.
