From RP Staff:
*Senator Cruz will be joining us for a live Q&A on Friday, 2/26 at 1:00pm EST. Post your questions below in advance of the Q&A. Questions with the most up votes will be answered first. Please be upfront and to the point with your questions. RP Staff will be monitoring this discussion.*
From Senator Ted Cruz:
America now faces a momentous decision. Almost a decade of irresponsible defense cuts has slashed the number of combat personnel, seriously degraded their combat readiness, and shrunk the size of our military below any reasonable standard. If America continues to lead from behind, we will lose the ability to guarantee our safety at home and abroad.
Our all-volunteer force deserves better. They deserve a leader who will provide them with the finest weapons systems and the best training. They deserve the full and unapologetic support of their Commander-in-Chief, not a minimal commitment and overly restrictive Rules of Engagement.
Furthermore, Americans make up the finest military professionals and veterans in the world, and they deserve an investment in their careers, their health, and their families. We must honor of our military members, families, and veterans by ensuring they receive the respect and care they have earned.
Under focused, new leadership, America can, and will, rebuild our military and take care of our veterans.

Hello Senator, please pardon the lack of enthusiasm and protocol, but I will cut to the chase and ask five questions of which nothing has been discussed during your debates for the recent Primaries as honestly as I'm capable of. Patriot Act in the trash... When? The end of NSA and other crooks in suits spying activity... When? Police accountability for their more than blatant and brutal shenanigans... When? Stifling VA bureaucracy overhaul... When and how? How do you propose to assist and protect Vets facing vampiric ex spouses and rabid family courts (who mockingly wipe their behinds with federal regulations) from getting the stiffy when it comes to disability compensation? Looking forward to your answers.

I contacted the "Presidents Help Line" today regarding any contractor attending "KILL THE GAYS" Rallies/Support Networks. Under Amended 11246 under President Lyndon B. Johnson which Protects Federal Contractors.

Threatening any Federal Employee warrants a threat and does stand for terrorism under law-
As of 2014 ""29 Million Federal Contractors are at Risk""
1/5 of the US Work Force
We believe this to be a credible threat to the very fabric of our nation-for future generations to grow we must not allow conditions to foster which are detrimental to society as a whole.
Please Contact the President if you Feel the Same:

SSG (Join to see) - Too bad more posters don't realize that. It was gracious offer, who else has done it? There is another thread discussion the lack of interest by the politicians, this is a good reason why.

Senator Cruz, our nation has been at war since 2001 in two countries that are Islamic Republics. Why do feel it's necessary to make the United States a Christian Republic?

Ted Cruz can you illustrate one piece of legislation that you introduced that was significant to veterans or active duty military? I believe not, as Ted Cruz is a scum bag and one who is completely untrustworthy. He is a devider and can't even get his own Republican colleagues to support him much less build a consensus to get any legislation past today or in the future.

And you can't spell. It is not the job of the President to pass legislation. Read your Constitution.

PO1 Kerry French - In my haste I fat fingered "divider." Thanks for catching that. However, I do know the Constitution. Ted Cruz is not the President now. He's currently a completely ineffective Senator, who should be doing the job for which he was hired. Uh, by the way that is creating and ushering in legislation that improves our society. I believe he is a despicable and dishonorable official who should be run out of Congress much less be our C-i-C.

SFC Joe Perez - Based on this post, there may a get doubts as to your Constitutional expertise. The voters are the final arbiters on who goes or stays in Congress.

Thank you MCPO. You are absolutely right, so let's run this scrowback out of office. I measure a guy like Cruz against any and all of the soldiers I have had the priviledge of serving with. Even the one's who were unable to meet the standard, but made it through basic training are head and shoulders better than Cruz. You know why, because they served and tried. Cruz doesn't serve this country, he works hard to disrupt it! We need a Republican that can build not destroy, one who can create consensus not divisiveness.
