I worked for him (volunteer) for his Senate race, and his ground game was very well done, well organized and effective. I think it’s too early to turn out the ground troops just yet.

Consider locating and joining your local "Boots-On-The-Ground" Ted Cruz group ...

if it doesn't exist, then start one yourself ... that's exactly how the "Ted Cruz Florida Grassroots Leadership Conference" got started ..
