The Presidential campaign for the 2016 election is getting under way and it is time to start researching the different candidates that have already entered the race or have expressed the possibility of doing so. I have been thinking about this for quite some time and I know exactly what I am looking for in the next President of the United States.
I am looking for someone who knows the Constitution backwards and forwards and who believes in it with all their soul. I am looking for someone who knows and loves the rule of law and who will stand up for it at all levels of government. I am looking for someone who loves our great country and who will go to any and all lengths to return it to greatness.
I am looking for someone who understands that our country was founded on the principles of religious freedom and who will stop the persecution of Christians while non-Christians are being protected and catered to at every turn. I am looking for someone who understands that the national debt of our country is one of the largest threats to our national security and who will stop the out of control spending that is prevalent in Washington DC.
I am looking for someone of tremendous courage and who will not be swayed by naysayers. And I am looking for someone who is not afraid to call the names of those who wish to destroy our country and who will not allow those same enemies to threaten or attack our allies either.
At this moment in time, I have found that person. I have been watching him, listening to him, following his votes, meeting him, and meeting his father. In fact, his father is who gave me the final nudge that led me to my decision. If the son is half the man his father is, my faith can be restored. If you haven't guessed yet I am supporting Ted Cruz to be the next President of the United States of America.
Rafael Cruz, Ted's father, escaped Cuba when Castro came to power and he raised his son to have an abounding love and respect for America and our Constitution. And Mr. Cruz also taught his son that God is the source of our foundation and the provider of our rights. Because of this background I believe Ted Cruz has the qualities I am looking for in a President.
Ted Cruz also has experienced, through his family, what the plight of immigrants to our country is and understands we must protect our border before making any other changes to our immigration policy. He fully understands why so many people want to come to America but also believes they must follow the rule of law in doing so.
My research will continue as the election process moves along but it will take a major turn of events to move me from my initial choice of Ted Cruz for President of the United States.
That is what this Alabamian will be doing.
Excellent post. Very well written.
As for me and my house, it will donate time, effort and money to his campaign.
I never have done that before. Only one I donated to was FR.
Cruz is worthy in my opinion.

This transplant Alabamian likely will be voting for Cruz.
I support Senator Cruz, our State Gop Chairman, joseph nosef will support who haley barbour tells him to which appears to be jeb.
