Ted does not believe in Obamacare. Ted Cruz is what I would call in my own words a die hard conservative. In 2012 Ted Cruz won the election to the United States Senate with the support of the Tea Party and took office the following year, going on to organize a governmental shutdown in opposition to Obamacare. In 2015, he announced that he was running for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. While holding the Senate floor, Cruz strived to convince his fellow politicians to cut funding for Obamacare. In his first two years as the senator of Texas, Senator Cruz had not only achieved an almost flawless voting record, he had also become the main conservative voice on a number of policy issues, spanning the complete field of influence from fiscal to social to foreign policy matters. Whether it was through floor speeches, media appearances, legislation and initiatives, or even harnessing the power of social media, Cruz led the front line for the conservative movement in fights pertaining to Obamacare, spending, guns, debt, immigration and foreign policy …show more content…

Don’t you agree? I’d like to go a few big goals that Ted Cruz has that he believes he will alleviate many of the issues in this great country. Ted Cruz wants to create as many jobs as humanly possible. This in turn will stimulate the economy. Ted Cruz thinks that we should do everything humanly possible to repeal Obamacare. I agree first and foremost because, It is a motivation killing system! People are going to live off of the government as long as the assistance is there. Ted Cruz wants to seal the border from the illegal immigrants that are coming in and destroying our economy. He wishes to hold the government accountable for all of their wrong doings. Ted Cruz wants to slow down government spending so that we as a nation can start working our way out of debt. Ted Cruz wants to eliminate ISIS and nuclear Iran! That’s a big one for sure! We need to take out the people who are trying to harm us! That would be a step that our man in the white house currently hasn’t

James Richard “Rick” Perry (born March 5, 1950) served as the 47th Governor of Texas from 2000 to 2015. It was in December 2000 that Perry became the official Governor of Texas (stepping up from being the Lieutenant Governor since 1998), since the then-governor George W. Bush resigned to become the President of the United States. George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) served as the 46th governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000.

Although some believe filibusters in the Senate can be a manipulative interpretation of the constitution, and a waste of time, they are in fact necessary to American democracy to protect the interests of American people and to open the discussion for negotiation on legislation. Filibusters in the senate protect the rights of American citizen’s by allowing a faction of people to shut down legislation they believe to be deficient.

Society tends to disagree with Ayn Rand’s political views regarding the concept of how a government should be controlled. Despite people contradicting with her beliefs, some politicians recognize her perspective and utilize her logic in debates. Of the politicians that support Rand’s political views, most derive their logic from one of Rand’s widely known novels, Anthem. This particular dystopian novel emphasizes a collective society where the simple thinking of individual choice is prohibited. Rand Paul, a Kentucky senator of the republican party, was influenced by Anthem in such a way that he utilized this book in a debate he took part in back in 2007 which lasted until 2013.

The author believes that it is the Congress, not the Supreme Court to decided Ted Cruz’s eligibility to be a president. After the final electoral vote, in accordance with the 12th Amendment, Congress has the authorities to reject to count any electoral votes if the Congress doubts his eligibility. Similar with the way the Congress judges a Senator’s birth certificate dispute for Senate election, the Constitution makes the Congress the judge of birth certificate dispute or any other kinds of presidential eligibility argument for the presidential election. In addition to the Congress, the voters can decided if Ted Cruz can be a president by choosing whether casting the ballots on him or

Rebuilding the Grand Old Party We were all in. As president of the local Young Republicans chapter, I made the executive decision to shift our entire political operation (all five active members) to support a longshot political novice. We were committed to working for Republican nominee Sarah Davis in her bid to become the State Representative for southwest Houston. It seemed clear to me that Sarah Davis represented the future of the Party: a refreshing young candidate eager to listen to the concerns of the next generation, a successful female lawyer ready to alter the perception of a Texas politician, a self-described “rational Republican” willing to buck her Party’s establishment in support of progressive policy prescriptions.

Another major point Lockwood made was that President Trump would be terminating the requirement of health insurance because he does not agree with the amount of money being paid to insurance companies to offer premiums to low income or young customers. Lockwood says we should expect to lose all federal support for Medicare and Medicaid, which is currently helping thousands of people. By cutting out these programs, it not only hurts the customers but also the hospital employees. Growing up in a family of medical professionals, Lockwood points out a perspective that usually goes unseen. While the families impacted largely are those

Firstly, the Texas Republican Party holds to the view that healthcare is a luxury that should remain independent of the government, and provided for without assistance from other members of society. Therefore, obtaining and having one's own health insurance is seen as a high standard of one's own independence and self-sufficiency. Conversely, the Democratic Party of Texas views healthcare as a human right to be provided for by the government, “Texas Democrats continue to believe healthcare is a fundamental human right for all Texans and not a privilege reserved for those able to afford it” (Texas Democratic Party). One's own personal responsibility comes into play for the Democratic platform, viewing it as one's moral duty to help those without the means to do
