In his remarks Sen. Cruz laid out ten policy principles that Republicans should pursue in 2015: 1. Embrace a big pro-jobs, growth Agenda 2. Pursue all means possible to repeal Obamacare 3. Secure the border and stop illegal amnesty 4. Hold government accountable and rein in judicial activism 5. Stop the culture of corruption 6. Pass fundamental tax reform, making taxes flatter, simpler, and fairer 7. Audit the Federal Reserve 8. Pass a strong balanced budget amendment 9. Champion school choice and repeal common core 10. Deal seriously with the twin threats of ISIL and a nuclear Iran “In the last year alone, the world has become a much more dangerous place for Westerners, as terrorists have deliberately aimed their campaign of murder against those, most notably innocent civilians, who represent a free and open society.” “Our freedoms are anathema to the radical Islamists, and they are willing to sacrifice their very lives to attack us with anything from meat cleavers to Kalashnikovs—anything to terrorize us into submitting to their brutal, totalitarian, warped version of Islam. “Our choice now is either to confront this intolerable threat to our liberty, or to continue to respond to the attacks as if they are isolated incidents that we might be able to prevent if we would only stop somehow “provoking” them. “If events in Paris teach us anything, it is the utter failure of the latter approach. It has not made things better. It has made them worse.” Excerpts from News with Senator Ted Cruz. January 16, 2015
