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.
“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.
A vote for Cruz is a vote to save America. Cruz to the White House in 2016!
Ahhh.
Thank you for noticing. This is my first troll experience!
But, since you have dragged your faux counseling services all through countless TRUMP threads I’ve seen, you should know how fun it can be to troll.
I think I may engage more. It seems to liven up your threads, given your quick personal attack on intelligence, in the absence of any coherent argument *for* your guy.
Sweet.
TRUMP, 2016
Everyone is for Jerusalem rightfully named the capital.
It’s just an odd subject to hang with so constantly.
The calendar is not your friend. Six constant months of stroking only evangelical interests does not a General Election campaign make. Never has been.
The problem with that is that not every POTUS candidate has Ted Cruz’s track record of doing what he said he would.
If only the President chose the man or woman who runs the state department.
end sarcasm
“More contempt for Christians from the liberal Trump fans”
Where is it written that all Christians must support Ted Cruz? It isn’t in my Bible. Maybe yours is different.
I look forward to his first week, month and year as well.
You folks sure look happy.
*******************************************
At the moment I’m happy as I can be about the way the Cruz and Trump campaigns are going. If we can keep things moving the way they are we’re headed toward Trump and Cruz largely shutting out the establishment (i.e., all the primary candidates EXCEPT for Cruz & Trump and, possibly, Carson) from getting more than a handful of voter selected delegates to the convention.
And I think we can stay on this road all the way to the convention UNLESS WE’RE THROWN OFF COURSE BY TROLLISH BEHAVIOR AND anti-Cruz and/or anti-Trump jihadism.
Thank you for noticing. This is my first troll experience!

Well good, hopefully, you’ll develop the wisdom to recognize that TROLLING is not only unneeded but also usually counterproductive. We constitutional conservatives (if that is what you are) should resist all anti-Cruz AND anti-Trump trolling.

You ommitted the word Ignorant before Jew.
The promise is rock solid.
Presidents make policy. - Where did you think policy came from?
Cruz has the endorsement of all Orthodox Rabbis.
My bet is they know far more than you do (but then so does Forrest Gump)
I am thinking that BiBi was in such hot water and had to pay the price for coming to America and giving that speech before the Congress that it cost him, dearly. He was falsely accused of interfering with an election, remember?
I think it had to be the congressional races, right?
That stinking Susan Rice was given the play ground to bash BiBi and rein to engage in dirty tricks against him, at the time.
I am betting that it was awkward to receive TRUMP at this time with out universal Hell coming down on BiBi, internationally. He is in quite a predicament.
I can’t imagine what he thinks of TRUMP, but the easy guess is he thinks TRUMP will be a God-send for Israel.
Also, what do you think the chances are that TRUMP has been meeting, on the QT, with that salty and splendid Ambassador to the United States, from Israel?? That guy is awesome and fearless as is TRUMP!
.
Trump won’t do anything; he cannot get elected with his record negatives.
Seems that all but the infatuated know he is a clown.
.
You can bet that Cruz has already prepared the documents to do what he has promised.
He is that kind of task master.
.
The State Dept serves UNDER the president.
He will be reassigning them to other departments pending their retirement if they resist. That was what Reagan did too, and it works.
Remember the air traffic controllers?
.
LOL!
You sick little shriveled up pickle.
Back in the brine with you; you will make a fine sandwich for the moat sharks.
.
.
Poor little Rita.
You’ve forgotten that Ted and His wife have already had their pow wow with Bibi.
.
Another foolish comment.
Cruz will not Kowtow to the illegitimacy of the United Nothing.
Why do you think all the fools are spitting blood?
