On March 23rd, Ted Cruz became the first to throw in his name to run for the Republican presidential nomination. On Tuesday, March 31st, enthusiasts from all over the state came to the Grand Opening of his presidential headquarters in Houston, Texas. It was a ‘joyous’ occasion. Americans are hungry for a ‘change’ from doom and gloom to a new dawn. His presidential campaign logo signifies this very premise, "Reigniting the Promise of America." Cruz is a dynamic courageous conservative that will energize the many angry, restless and hurting Americans into a positive force against progressivism.

The response to his ‘Meet and Greet’ was an overwhelming success indicating that Americans are indeed ready for a ‘new dawn’. Over 500 happy and eager fans went to Houston to ‘Meet and Greet’, in whom they believe will be the next president of the United States, in spite of the negative attacks on the junior senator. The media remains unyielding in their assaults when it comes to the steadfast and outspoken Cruz.

Personal attacks including the birthers’ reaction about his citizenship and that he is not a Hispanic American is absurd. Trivial as it may seem, his campaign logo was criticized as was his TV ad and even his passion to express himself when he addresses an audience. All these strikes, it seems, did not faze the presidential candidate or his supporters. In fact, Cruz drew $2,000,000 the first two days of his campaign and $4,000,000 from across the country in eight days.

Rafael Cruz, father of Ted, mingled with the aficionados expressing his gratitude. Because of the overwhelming amount of people in attendance, Cruz’ time was limited to a photo opportunity. Cookies and ‘Ted Cruz’ bottled water were given to those waiting for the chance to greet him. Attendees were given a quick tour of the spacious headquarters where campaign business will be conducted in his bid for the nomination.

Heidi Cruz welcomed the crowd and proudly introduced her husband, Ted, emphasizing that “he really cares, he really believes.” Heidi certainly has the sparkle and graciousness necessary to be a first lady. His two daughters, Caroline and Catherine, were also present at the grand opening.

Cruz addressed the crowd with his usual candor and conservative appeal, and in campaign mode told the crowd, “We understand that our rights they don’t come from government, they come from God Almighty. That we are here standing on some very simply common sense propositions. Live within your means…stop bankrupting our kids and grandkids and follow the Constitution. These are principles that unite us. They are principles that bring us together from every walk of life. This is a movement of ‘courageous conservatives’.”
