SynopsisIn the Senate, I've tried to do two things: tell the truth, and do what I said I would do. We should expect that from every single elected official. Washington D.C. desperately needs leaders who aren't afraid to tell the truth. And Ted Cruz tells the truth-about political collusion, a corrupted legislative process, and the bureaucratic barriers to actually fixing the enormous challenges we face. Cruz's truth-telling habit hasn't made him popular in Washington. But it has earned him millions of supporters nationwide. Since his election to the Senate in 2012, Ted Cruz has refused to go along with the established way of doing business in Washington. In A Time for Truth, the outspoken Texas Senator tells his story for the first time-the story of a Cuban immigrant's son who made it to the Ivy League, to the Supreme Court bar, and eventually to the U.S. Senate. It's a deeply personal journey that begins with Cruz's father's experience of brutality in a Cuban prison and ends with Cruz's discovery that Washington has neither the courage nor the desire to do what is needed to preserve the freedom and opportunities that gave hope to his father and millions like him. Cruz discusses his role in the 2000 recount, helping to elect a president he respects-and whom he would have to stand up to a few short years later when he served as the solicitor general of Texas. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at his remarkable grassroots campaign for the U.S. Senate. And he reveals the true story behind his twenty-one-hour Senate filibuster, where he gave the most famous bedtime reading of Green Eggs and Ham in history. Pulling back the curtain on the backroom deals in Congress between Republicans, Democrats, and the lobbyists who keep them in office-instead of keeping them accountable-Cruz offers an inside look at what has gone so very wrong in our nation's capital. But he also makes an optimistic case that by reestablishing the principles of our founders, the opportunities for our citizens, and our unique place in the world, we can reignite the promise of America for generations to come. A Time for Truth is sharp, funny, and honest. What Cruz reveals will win him few friends in Washington. Then again, that isn't why he went there in the first place., Since his election in 2012, Ted Cruz has refused to go along with the established way of doing business in Washington, becoming a voice for millions of Americans frustrated with governmental corruption and gridlock. In this, his first book, Cruz reveals how Americans can take back their country, and start moving forward., In the Senate, I've tried to do two things: tell the truth, and do what I said I would do.

Why Ted Cruz deserves to be our next President.
Ted Cruz is not a new name to me as I have been following and listening to him for the past few years. Since his announcement to campaign for President, I have listened even closer to him, and (honest to God) there is no change in his rhetoric, opinions, or passion than what I have heard from him in the past. In other words, Senator Cruz does not say what you want to hear, he says what he believes and what he knows. He does NOT buckle down to get along! If you love America and want to undo all the damage obama and his socialist cronies have done to our great country, then you must support Ted Cruz for President. Even if you don't agree with my opinions, read A TIME FOR TRUTH and form your own knowledgeable opinions. In this book you will learn how Ted Cruz is the ONLY Senator to stand up to McConnell and the GOP and obama. Still waters run deep, and Senator Cruz may speak softly most of the time, but his words are meaningful and ring true. Ted Cruz may be a first-term Senator, but he has more real-world experience than the majority of anyone in Congress, and he certainly has more legal experience than obama! You will learn EVERYTHING about Cruz - from before he was born, throughout his school years - his professor's names, his friends, his grades - nothing hidden, to his personal life and up to the present time. You will learn that Cruz has been standing up for the Constitution since his college years, and is as passionate about keeping America strong as President Reagan was. The book flows so smoothly, it can be read in a couple of days. The dozens of photos, from his father's mug shot to a campaign rally, show you the man and his history. Ted Cruz's birth, education, religion, schooling, grades, associates, family, jobs, opinions, and passion are all here. Nothing is left to be questioned or assumed, nothing is suspect, nothing is hidden or covered up. Ted Cruz is literally an open book and you will enjoy reading his life story and will gain respect for the man, and when you finish reading (or even before then) you will understand why we need Ted Cruz to be elected President in 2016.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Easy to read and a compelling story
This is a very easy book to read. It is written in a style that shows the goodness and opportunity that has always existed in America. It also tells a compelling story for a long time staunch defender of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He has identified the real problem in congress and the executive and judicial branches of our government. So many in both democrat and republican parties have forgotten that they represent the people and they have turned there back and a deaf ear on the will of the people. Ted Cruz is standing against those in power representing the will of the people and getting ripped apart from the leadership in both democrats and republicans, not to mention the lame brain democrat dominated main stream media. America is at a crossroads and the American people will choose to forever turn away from the Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed to them OR turn back to fully embracing again the rights that they have all enjoyed and should be obligated to defend them from threats foreign or domestic. Jefferson warned the American people to be careful in removing the chains that are needed to bind a government that only seeks to grow in size and power that they want to wield against the will of the people.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
