WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today released the latest in a series of “Freedom Minute” segments in which he urges President Obama and his party to spark economic growth by fully defunding Obamacare.

“SPARK ECONOMIC GROWTH -- DEFUND OBAMACARE” RADIO SCRIPT [60 SECONDS]:

Hi, I’m Ted Cruz and this is the Freedom Minute.

Recently, President Obama did yet another “pivot to jobs,” essentially rehashing the same economic speech we’ve heard for years. More and more government programs and more and more taxes.

His policies just aren’t working.

Since the President took office, the average rate of annual economic growth has been a paltry 0.9 percent. This is hurting everybody.

If President Obama really wanted to spark economic growth, he would join the growing chorus of elected leaders calling for fully defunding Obamacare – the single strongest step government can take to unshackle jobs, investment, and growth again in America.

I’m working hard to help lead the effort to defund Obamacare in the next two months, and it’s time for the President and his party to join us in a real agenda for jobs and growth.

I’m Ted Cruz and this is the Freedom Minute.
