Ted Cruz: Religious Liberties Under Attack

LYNCHBURG, Va. April 2, 2014 (AP)

Possible Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said Wednesday that religious Americans have a duty to take a stand against policies, such as President Barack Obama's health care law, that could threaten their liberties.

"As believers, we are called to action; not just sitting quietly and hiding our faith under a bushel but to stand and speak no matter what the consequence," the Texas senator told students at Liberty University. "Religious liberty has never been more under attack."

If speaking at Liberty University is a favorite stop along the early presidential campaign trail for some candidates, writing a book is standard practice for many.

Cruz's literary agent, Keith Urbahn, said Wednesday that the tea party favorite has agreed to terms with HarperCollins. Urbahn declined to confirm a report in the Washington Examiner that the book deal was worth $1.5 million. But he says the number is "close."

1. Dude, it's "don't hide your LIGHT under a bushel"...

... But also, pray to the lord in private and don't be showy about it.

That is, love like Jesus, but don't draw attention like a Pharisee.
