Heidi Cruz
Heidi Cruz was the daughter of missionaries who spent a lot of time overseas helping people and bringing them not only relief, but the Christian values we embrace. She eventually went on to graduate from Harvard (again, on her own dime and not from some fabulously rich family).

Heidi worked for the Bush administration on economic policy, eventually becoming the director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in 2003. In 2005, she joined Goldman Sachs, serving as a private wealth manager. That means handling accounts of over $40 million and giving investment direction. She took a leave of absence without pay for her husband's 2016 presidential campaign.

Allegations about her supporting and contributing to a New World Order are completely false and the whole smear against her was done in Ted’s Senate campaign by the opposition. Heidi was an international investment banker who was invited to be part of a working group at the Council on Foreign Relations which reviewed a notorious 2005 paper called “Building a North American Community” which was largely authored by Robert Pastor and is the presumed origin of the idea of the North American Union, though Pastor has repeatedly denied that it contains anything like that.

Heidi Cruz’ role in all of this was as one of a large panel of readers and her sole identifiable contribution to the project is a one-paragraph response in the final appendix in which she says:

“We must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us — truly the measure of our success. As such, investment fund sand financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.”

So basically, her role here is to say that free markets and free trade are the answer to greater regional prosperity. Amazing. Republican principles in a few sentences and suddenly she is accused of being part of the NWO? You can read more here – Anatomy of a Smear

Please do some research on your own. If you see something negative about Ted or Heidi, I am willing to bet the real story is quite different than those using it to smear a great patriot couple

It did not take long for Heidi Cruz to find her footing. She soon joined Goldman Sachs, where she was early to arrive each day and among the last to leave, impressing her boss at the time, Peter Coneway, who helped recruit her to the firm in 2005 and later recommended her to lead the office.

Coneway recalled Heidi Cruz’s thriving in a region where the money management industry was largely a men’s club.

As she built a network of clients, she found politics to be an icebreaker and her husband a willing partner at dinners with prospective investors. She would call on him to “help make the ask,” she said on a panel at Claremont McKenna in 2011. (Heidi Cruz told the New York Times, though, that she believed in a “separation of church and state” between business and politics and did not ask her clients to donate to the campaigns.)

About a week after Texans elected Ted Cruz to the Senate in 2012, Goldman announced Heidi Cruz’s elevation to its ranks of managing directors — a well-deserved promotion, colleagues said.

DIPLOMACY, someone said, is the fine art of allowing others to do things your way. Few progressions through life are as distinguished as that of Houstonian Peter R. Coneway, whom President Bush as appointed U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Coneway, who founded the Houston office of Goldman, Sachs in 1975, leaves for Switzerland this week and soon will present his diplomatic credentials to the leaders of the host countries. He carries with him a long list of personal credentials earned over a lifetime of meritorious service that has made Houston a more livable city.
Like many appointees, Coneway raised campaign funds and garnered political support for the president who appointed him. What sets Coneway apart from some appointees is that he is not a newcomer to public service.
