Cruz to kill Iran nuclear deal, move embassy to Jerusalem on first day as president
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/29/15 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 12/29/2015 9:07:27 AM PST by Isara

Surging Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz is laying out what would be the most aggressive first day in office ever for a new president, starting with the elimination of "every single illegal and unconstitutional" executive action taken by President Obama.

In an epilogue to his father Rafael Cruz's upcoming autobiography, the Texas senator also said that he would rip up Obama's controversial deal with Iran, open an investigation into Planned Parenthood's abortion practice, end the IRS's "persecution of religious liberty," and shift the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

"All of that is on day one. It is an example of how quickly things can change," Cruz penned in his father's revealing personal story, A Time for Action, published by WND Books. The book's release date is January 5, but it is available on Amazon now.

"The left, and the media (who are in cahoots), try to convince us that nothing can change. They want us to give up. But strong presidential leadership, backed by the American people, can usher in dramatic change," wrote Cruz.

His day one five-point agenda goes much further than past presidents have been able to achieve and gives an indication of how swiftly he hopes to begin unraveling the Obama presidency.

Cruz also presented his short term plan to go even further by repealing Obamacare, expanding school choice, moving to "rebuild our military," doing more to reform the Veterans Administration, taking on ISIS with greater force and securing the border and ending the sanctuary city system that lets cities get away with harboring illegal immigrants wanted by federal authorities.

"Our country is in crisis," wrote Cruz. "I am convinced, it is now or never. There comes a point where the hole is too deep, the debt is too great, our liberties are too receded, and there is no going back," he added.

His Cuban-born father has been a star on the campaign trail for his own story of fighting Cuban authorities, coming to the United States where he discovered the American Dream and eventually becoming a born-again pastor.

Rafael Cruz has also become a voice for evangelical leaders seeking to stir the flock enough to get them to vote, noting at the end of his book that 54 million didn't vote in 2012. "Imaging if those people registered and voted," he wrote.

Trump said he can’t run his resorts without his illegals.

He’ll have to fire them or be caught in the dragnet.

Whatever you say, there, on Aisle 13.

I just hope Cruz can hang in long enough to hold off the dreams of the Establishment in RUBIO, who will soon be nipping his heels. They may have to back Cruz. Yikes!
Imagine THAT!

Good, then I’ll expect to see you over there.

BTW: Not interested in what you’re fixated on.

Seek help.

Yes, the Jewish crowd he was addressing took note of how many times he said that Israel would have to make many more concessions.

I share your vision of a Trump-Cruz binary helix cleaning the Augean Stable of the Republican Party and its twin sister across the aisle.

It is the Mad as Hell reaction of patriots to the Kafka Kool-Aid of the Traitor-Crooks.

Do you think they can make it without Trump?

Traitor Onambla has greenlighted the Iran bomb to be used against the Little Satan and the Great Satan.

Hillary Bitch of Benghazi is bedmate to the Muslim Brotherhood and will further the betrayal.

Israel and America require a Trump-Cruz future to have a future.

“end the IRS’s “persecution of religious liberty,”

Cruz must prosecute these Gestapo thugs for sedition.

"Israel and America require a Trump-Cruz future to have a future."

Well, silly me. I've always believed the Bible when it said Israel's future was guaranteed thanks to God Almighty. I didn't realize God needed Trump's or anyone else's help./S

There is going to be no Trump/Cruz alliance. Cruz has denied it long ago, and he has recently said he has no interest in being Trump's VP. Some are determined to believe it, nevertheless.

This country needs to get back to the Constitution, and Cruz will help it get there.

Yes, a landslide of rejection!

No to global governance, top down tyranny, and wealthy socialists toying with our freedom.

Those who believe the State Department don’t have their own independence from the president don’t understand what’s going on. Not even Reagan would take on the State Department.

Fed bureaucrats in general will serve under four or more presidents and more than twice that many ‘Secretaries of’. It takes Congress’ power of the purse to rein them in.

There are three branches of government provided in the constitution: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

The executive branch is autonomous excepting impeachment for crimes.

The Judicial is subject to acts of the congress. The executive is not.
