Another thing is that I would like to know how much money GS has contributed to Cruz in his superpacs. If it has then this is very very serious and a deal killer and I am wondering what Cruz is really up to. Is he a phony like all the others? That would be very disappointing. I like him but if GS is in there he should not be near the government.
People involved in energy interests, Christian outreach, and fellow conservatives are the predominant contributors to the Keep the Promise SuperPACs supporting Ted Cruz. Here is some inside information on major contributors to the Keep the Promise SuperPACs.
David Barton, an influential Christian author and activist, is taking charge of the leading super-PAC supporting Ted Cruz.Robert Mercer, a major contributor mentioned in the above article, has been the target of radical, pro-illegal immigration activists in the past.<...snip...>
Barton succeeds Toby Neugebauer, the co-founder of a Houston private-equity firm, Quantum Energy Partners, and a key Keep the Promise donor. In the statement, Neugebauer said he will remain involved with the super-PACs but that it had grown impractical to fulfill his leadership duties from his home in Puerto Rico.
Neugebauer helped jump-start the Keep the Promise super-PACs' fundraising in April with a $10 million check. Most of the rest of the money came from the families of Farris and Dan Wilks, brothers from Cisco, Texas who made a fortune in the fracking boom, and who gave $15 million in all; and from Robert Mercer, a Long Island scientist who is the co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, one of the world's most successful quantitative hedge funds. Mercer gave $11 million.
Farris Wilks is a pastor at his church in Cisco, and his family has supported a large number of Christian groups, including Barton's Wallbuilders. Neugebauer directs some of his philanthropic giving through the Matthew 6:20 Foundation, named after the biblical verse: "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal."
"A demonstration was outside the offices of an American citizen, Robert Mercer, who supports our U.S. Immigration Laws and the Candidates who support keeping our borders safe. However, these Illegal trespassers and their Marxist-Leftist-Union handlers want NO U.S. immigration laws -- for them --and Robert Mercer is 'the Enemy'."Robert Mercer is also a fan of free market economics, skeptical about the climate change hoax, and no fan of a tyrannical, politically motivated IRS which all fit perfectly with Cruz's conservative positions.Trespassers 'Say NO' U.S. Immigration Laws-For them (NYC) 7-10-15"
Separate from the SuperPACs, the largest percentage of small contributors of hard money to Cruz for President by a large margin are retired folks according to info compiled from FEC records. A few employees of GS likely show up on the long list of contributors, but that's to be expected as friends of the Cruz family and co-workers of Heidi. It's irrelevant considering the campaign has received more than 450,000 contributions originating from nearly half of the zip codes in America. The average of the donations is $73.
