In March 2015, Cruz became the first person to run for president in a speech before an audience at [[Liberty University]]. The predictable liberal media immediately went on the offense claiming he has no chance but was in awe of his speech without [[teleprompter]]s. His wife would take a leave of absence from her job at Goldman Sachs to join her husband on the campaign trail. This decision left his family without health insurance. Cruz, by law, has to be insured and took Obamacare coverage. This drove the media batty at the irony of railing against [[Obamacare]] but using it. Simply put, this dis not mean he endorses Obamacare rather it shows his commitment to follow the rule of law.

Cruz would raise $4 million in donations after the first week of his announcement. Liberal media jaws hit the floor when it was learned he raised $31 million in one week from [[PAC]]s. <ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/08/mark-halperin-unprecedented-31-million-super-pac-effort-backing-ted-cruz-for-president/ MARK HALPERIN: UNPRECEDENTED $31 MILLION SUPER PAC EFFORT BACKING TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT, Breitbart.com, April 8, 2015]</ref>

The same liberals who mocked opponents of Obama for claiming he was not born in [[Hawaii]] have decided to make the same case against Cruz for being born in Canada. Cruz's mother being an American citizen, just like Obama's mother, insures that he is American no matter what country he was born in. There are several differences in Obama/Cruz birth certificate controversies. Cruz released his immediately after it was requested. Obama held onto his for years, spending nearly $4 million in legal fees.
