What you need to know about Ted Cruz:

President Ted Cruz. If you're like us, Diane, just reading that phrase probably sent shivers down your spine or produced a pretty serious roll of the eyes. But as of this moment, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is officially running for president, and if we don't do everything in our power to stop him, the possibility of President Ted Cruz could become a reality. So here are three things everyone needs to know about wannabe President Ted Cruz: He led the GOP's government shutdown, costing the economy a staggering $24 billion, as part of a personal crusade to take away quality health care from millions of Americans and give control back to the insurance companies. He has obstructed everything from raising the minimum wage to paycheck fairness to immigration reform. He would give corporations and the richest Americans huge tax breaks, at the expense of working Americans. Here's what you can do to fight back right now -- become a Factivist, and commit to spreading the word about Ted Cruz and his fellow Republicans: http://my.democrats.org/Ted-Cruz Thanks for doing your part! 2016 DNC Factivists
