HOUSTON, Texas About six or seven hundred hardcore conservatives gathered outside the new Houston campaign headquarters for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) last Tuesday, an event at which he showed off his presidential prospects as the first declared candidate for 2016.

I think we are certainly trying to do everything possible to energize and mobilize the grassroots, to energize and mobilize millions of courageous conservatives, Cruz said in an interview with Breitbart News.
The greatest trick the left has ever played is to convince the world that America doesnt share our values, Cruz added. America remains a fundamentally center-right country with Judeo-Christian values. And these are common sense principles that America was built upon, and just like in 1980 it took millions of men and women across this country to come together and become the Reagan Revolution.

Our nation is in crisis and the Washington elites cannot solve this problem. It can only come from the American people.
