[Cruz was sending out this pro-TPP letter in January 2014. It’s all over the Net; do a little research, why not?]
Recently, I sent the Canadian-born Senator an email asking him not to vote to the Trans-Pacific Partnership or the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Here is his auto-generated response:
“Thank
you for sharing your thoughts regarding trade policy. Input
from constituents significantly informs my decision-making and empowers
me to better represent the state.
One of
my top priorities as your Senator is to promote policies that
facilitate economic growth and opportunities. An important component of a
growing economy is the freedom to trade. Free trade creates a
competitive marketplace, spurring innovation and investment. We benefit
with more access to higher quality goods and services for less. We see
jobs created and our incomes go further due to greater economic
productivity.
Under
President Obama, annual economic growth is anemic and job growth is
stagnant. I hope the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) produce agreements
that reduce government-created barriers to trade, enabling increased
prosperity for all involved. More economic growth will expand
opportunity to those working to climb the economic ladder and achieve
the American Dream.Thank
you again for sharing your views with me. Please feel free to contact
me in the future about any issue important to your family. It is an
honor to serve you and the people of Texas.”
For Liberty,
Senator Ted Cruz

See the Cruz letter above; Ted couldn’t have been more committed to TPP—he was all in.
