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.
Well, that is true.
I was just musing about why he declined to see TRUMP, and wondered about the timing being bad, possibly because of TRUMP smoking the field, and obviously sweeping the nation, Independents, moderates, evangelicals and minorities alike, in all the polling.
Earlier on, a meeting was bland and perfunctory, less explosive and devoid of any real meaning, probably. I dunno.
We will have to see.
TRUMP, 2016

Remember Grenada?
Lots of red jello heads like you didn’t think it could happen.
When you have a leader in office instead of a clown, things happen.
SURGING AND BEGGING??????????????? REALLY??????????
Cruz For President
Friend,
I just got off an emergency call with my campaign manager and my finance director — I’m running out of options.
You see: there are just a few hours until we close the books on December fundraising, and I am still more than $400,000 dollars short of what we need to raise BEFORE our Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline on December 31st.
So, as a last resort, I’m writing to you now — one of my best supporters — in hopes that you’ll step up and close the gap.
I’ve asked my staff to put a clock below to show the amount of time left before my Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline.
FEC DEADLINE
COUNTDOWN
Friend, I’ve also asked my campaign manager to put together a special, secure link so we can personally track those who step up at this critical time.
Will you click the link below and make a special contribution to stand in the FEC fundraising deadline gap?
CLICK HERE: STOP-GAP DONATION >>>
Tomorrow my campaign manager will share with me who was able to step up at this critical time, and I really hope to see your name on that list BEFORE tomorrow morning.
Friend, I’m sure you’ve seen the latest polls. My campaign is surging — not only nationally, but also in virtually every early primary state.
The only thing that can kill our momentum now will be coming up short on December 31st.
So Friend, I’m personally asking: will you make a stop-gap donation of $35, $50, or $250 right now — BEFORE the clock runs out?
After December 31st, EVERY presidential campaign must file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) detailing our contributions and expenditures. Once results are made public, every media outlet will have immediate access and begin scrutinizing each candidate’s report.
It is of the utmost importance that I don’t come up short. Please use this special, secure link prepared especially for you:
CLICK HERE: STOP-GAP DONATION >>>
We’re building real momentum in key states, but we must keep the campaign doors open if we want to fight off the Washington Cartel.
Will you help me stay in this race?
For liberty,
Ted Cruz
P.S. I cannot overstate how important it is that we post strong fundraising numbers! The reporting deadline is December 31st. So please, make a contribution of $35, $50, or more immediately.
As if Cruz doesn’t have enough, why not go to Glen Beck or CFR or Goldman Sachs and ask for more.....to send to a Trump Supporter who has REPEATLY asked to be removed from the ‘begging list’.....
My candidate DOESN’T need to beg for more money, he’s funding his OWN campaign, something everyone should do!!!
Got the same thing yesterday. :)
.
Iran has nothing but contempt for ass kissers like Bar rack Obummer and John sKerry.
They’ll fall in line when Cruz takes office.
The problem with that is that not every POTUS candidate has Ted Cruz’s track record of doing what he said he would...
LOL
Yes sure, everyone is cable of funding their own campaign.
Unbelievable.
Unfortunately, Trump would not commit to Jerusalem being the undivided capital of Israel. He was booed for it by the Jewish coalition he was speaking to.
.
Iran will be Ted Cruz’ Grenada.
It’ll be great to have Reagan back (in spirit)
Loved the pics! Thanks!
LOL!! You’re in fine form today!:)
.
We can always tell when someone is a Troll, they call posts by DoughtyOne “rational.”
Join him in the Trump Bath house; he will be tickled.
I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. That kind of rings a bell.
Presumably, he did give a reason for not committing at this time. I wonder if his reason received any coverage, or if it was limited to only the boos he received?
TRUMP gets all the breaks. .)
But your candidate has fans like this:
“TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
SILENT NO LONGER!!
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!
TRUMP RUMP TRUMP
LOUDER AND LOUDER!
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
AMERICA HAS A CHANCE TO SURVIVE ALL EVIL FORCES!!
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
PRAISE THE LORD, OUR GOD IN HEAVEN AMEN!”
.
Your “candidate” has no say over his campaign; the MSM are running it for him.
Thanks for letting us know how disheartened you are!
It really raises our spirits.
He really didn’t give an explanation although he spoke for several more minutes.
.
Only thing Trump is smoking is bad grass.
The Cruz Tsunami waters it for him.
What will he do when he is in jail for hiring his “good ones?”
.
I know, isn’t it great that our Candidate Trump is running on his OWN money and not having to beg like yours????
And the more you moan and groan, the louder we get!!!
We are loving this election with our candidate because as you say, we are silent no longer; Make America Great Again; and building a wall; and bringing jobs back to America for American People; better healthcare; taking care of our Vets and Wounded Warriors; Building up our Military; getting along with Foreign Leaders...
Our candidate went to the border to talk to border guards to see first hand what was happing.....yours went with Glen Beck and handed out ‘teddy bears and soccer balls’ to illegal immigrant children....how about American Children, they would love some ‘teddy bears and soccer balls’ don’t you think?
At least the CFR; Goldman Sachs, and super pacs and lobbyists and others aren’t making a ‘puppet’ out of our candidate...
He answers to us, The America People...and his supporters and we are very great full for that!!!
LOL. He won’t buck the entire world and his own bureaucracy. There are good reasons not to move the Embassy to Jerusalem and Cruz knows them. This is just blatant pandering. In any event, he won’t be the nominee.
