I've always believed the mission is greater than the man.

I'm looking at a tax process that will allow people to keep more of their money because we know what happens when job creators get to keep more of their money than they're - they have the confidence to go out and spend that money to create jobs that in turn create wealth.

I am proud to live in a country with an African-American president. But President Obama cannot be proud of the fact that the prevalence of black poverty has actually increased under his leadership. The specific policies advanced by the president and his allies on the left amount to little more than throwing money at the problem and walking away.

We can't have deficit spending in Texas. You have to balance your budget every two years.

Ted Cruz will point Americans back to the principles established by our Constitution enabling you to live free.

I happily cling to my guns and my God, even if President Obama thinks that that is a simpleminded thing in his elitist heart.

I'll work every day to try to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can.
