Political Parties are groups of people that all have the same beliefs and views. These beliefs are usually related to the government. These Political Parties try to get people from their groups to get into positions of power. What I mean by positions of power is being the President, Senate, and other related positions. The way that political parties link the general public to the government is by using advertisements and running campaigns which show their ideology. Streaming them through social media or television is an example of where you might find these campaigns. The outcome by doing this will make it so people can go out and vote more.
The politician I chose to write about is Ted Cruz. This politician holds a spot in the Senators. Cruz is affiliated with the Republican Party and he represents the state of Texas. His main beliefs are, “He has also led the fight to defend life, marriage, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and our entire Bill of Rights”(Source). This shows what he stands for and what he likes to defend. Not only does he defend guns, but he also stands for the entire bill of rights.
There are many pieces of evidence where it shows his point of view on things. “He has worked to safeguard the Second Amendment right to bear arms during the Senate’s 2013 contentious debate over gun control;” (Source) It shows Ted Cruz’s point of view about gun control because he has defended it when it comes to debates. Also in a website where it shows Ted Cruz's stance on gun control (Source), and it tells us that he has been a lawyer for the National RifleA He is apart of the Republican party and not only does he defend it but the party itself also stands for the second amendment.
