Jan. 12, 2015 -- Headlining the
first day of Heritage Foundation Action's two-day Conservative Policy
Summit, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told attendees that the Republicans
majorities in Congress "need to do what we said we would do."
Cruz outlined a ten-point agenda of "jobs, liberty and security."
Topping the list was the energy renaissance he spoke about at last
year's Summit. Cruz said Republicans need to "do everything humanly
possible to repeal Obamacare". He condemned Obama's executive
action on immigration. Cruz continued, speaking on judicial
activism, the culture of corruption, taxes (he said Congress should
"tee up simplification of the tax code" and ultimately "abolish
the IRS"), auditing the Fed, a strong balanced budget amendment,
repealing Common
Core and implementing school choice ("school choice is the civil rights
issue of the 21st century"), and "the twin threats of ISIS and a
nuclear Iran."
