Washington - Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is coming under fire for delivering on his campaign promise to shake up Washington. Heritage Action released the following statement from CEO Michael A. Needham:
Senator Ted Cruz came to Washington to advance conservative policies, not play by the same old rules that have relegated conservatives, and their ideas, to the backbench. It should come as absolutely no surprise the Washington Establishment - be it the liberal media, entrenched special interests or even wayward Republicans - are now attacking him in the press for following through on his promises.
Although many come to Washington for the right reasons, they are quickly co-opted. Rather than fixing the problem, they become part of the problem. Heritage Action will continue to stand side by side with Ted Cruz, and any other lawmaker, who is committed to fighting for freedom.
