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.
Will Obama be back from his World Tour brfore Cruz’s first day as President ?
This Jew knows that this promise is utter BS and makes me sway away from Cruz now. Any candidate who blurts out such promises in order to win the Jewish vote is a waste of time as the Liberal Jews vote Democratic anyway...
This goes against US policy so, it’s an empty promise...
Jeeeeez. Yea, that’s really blatant pandering. Kind of gross to be honest. What Iran deal? Never heard of one.
President Obama has issued over 20 illegal executive memoranda rewarding illegality. I will rescind each and every one on my first day in office.

Going to be a busy day...
Every POTUS candidate in my memory promises to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and it never happens.
A busy day is ok, just let him go and do it heh.
"Now", LOL? You've been "swaying away from Cruz" and pushing Trump for months. Get off it.
You should look for a video of Ted Cruz's rally and listen to his speech about moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. He means it!
He also explains the U.S. policy he is against.
Whhhhhaaaaaat?
"Goes against US Policy"? Who on earth do you think SETS "US Policy"? Possibly the "Chief Executive", ya think?
Do you prefer the US conceded Jerusalem to the Muslims? Is Jerusalem the Capital of Israel? Don't want to offend the Muslims, so we put our embassy in Tel Aviv?
Guess what? Ted Cruz also answers your objection in his speech.
I could see him starting that process on Day 1, but I cannot believe he can ferret them all out and address every single one of them in one day.
Would he just sign a single EO saying: "All EOs issued by my predecessor are hereby revoked?"
The ‘Iran nuclear deal’ isn’t really about nukes, it’s about returning money sequestered when the Shah was overthrown. That money will be back in the Mullahs’ hands by the next Inauguration Day. President Cruz isn’t going to war with Iran over its nuclear program.
Moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a fight almost any president will lose to the State Department. Not much chance Congress is going to defund or otherwise punish the State Department.
This Jew knows that this promise is utter BS and makes me sway away from Cruz now. Any candidate who blurts out such promises in order to win the Jewish vote is a waste of time as the Liberal Jews vote Democratic anyway...

“...This goes against US policy so, it’s an empty promise...”? There are quite a few “US policies” that Cruz would be changing...including this one. Any president with leadership skills and courage could fill that promise. And Cruz will keep this promise. And, to make you feel better, so would Trump should he win and be so inclined.
This would be impressive if he wasn't directly complicit for the Iran deal...WHAT A SHAMELESS FRAUD!!
HEY CRUZ, WHAT about a “special prosecutor” to go after the CRIMES of this ADMINISTRATION???
Ted Cruz’s incoming administration can do a lot of things during the transition period.
...And this Zionist Goy, who happened to have lived and studied in Jerusalem, completely disagrees with you.
The location of US embassies is very much within the authority of the chief executive and this promise by Cruz is directed primarily to conservative evangelical Christians who care much more about Israel than the average secular Jew in the USA. Cruz knows his base and he knows that we take the admonitions of Gen.12:1-3 quite seriously.
