Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican and a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate, is out with a new book this summer titled “A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Miracle of America.”

HarperCollins Publishers told The Associated Press a June 30 release date is set for the book; other potential GOP contenders in 2016 who have published books recently include Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

“Men and women are frustrated with career politicians in both parties who are not listening to them,” Mr. Cruz told the AP, saying the themes of a possible White House candidacy are “certainly reflected in this book.”

The tea party favorite also said he wants to counter the “caricatures” of the right as “stupid,” “evil” or “crazy.”

“The image created in the mainstream media does not comply with the facts,” he said.

Mr. Cruz said the book will include stories about Anwar Sadat, Elie Wiesel and other people who “had the courage” to speak out at personal risk — vignettes that he said draw upon “an aspect of what [then-Sen. John] Kennedy did” in his book, “Profiles in Courage.”

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

“A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Miracle of America.”

Woo hoo to my Sen Cruz! I can't decide if he looks more like Reagan, or Churchill, in that cover pic. A lot like both!

[CincyRichieRich]

Awesome; hopefully prevents peaking too soon...Walker/Cruz Cruz/Walker...

Cabinet: Palin...West...Carson

On an aside, that’s all if our dear leader actually leaves the WH.

[skeeter]

Why not give Cruz/Walker a try.

Because the tradition of balancing the ticket got us the Bush family.

It’s on my list of things to do today.

Reagan liked to reference JFK every now and then, especially concerning tax cuts.
