The personalized letters target individual Iowa voters and identifies them as having failed to vote in prior elections. They are admonished and then encouraged to vote this year. In addition the letters identify the neighbors of the voter, and provides their voting history.
The text reads:
"You are receiving this election notice because of low expected voter turnout in your area. Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors' are public record. Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well. A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday's caucuses".
In an effort to shame the recipient, the notice also informs the targeted voter their neighbors have also been notified of the recipients poor voting record.

Maybe he'd like to let my neighbors know that I have a firearms license.
Kind of disappointing.
Well, first, I don’t pay attention to junk mail. It goes into the trash.
But this kind of tactic is very personal and I would not respond to it positively.
Six Cruz staffers quit suddenly yesterday. Maybe they knew this was coming.
Jedi, they were sent to a small group but the national news coverage of it will not help Ted. He could have made a report card giving other candidates failing grades, asked them to vote for him and included address of caucus and a phone # in case you need a ride to caucus site. This is shaming. Majority of non voters probably tossed it in trash unopened, but with social media, everyone in country will learn about it and might hurt Ted in other states.
>>Trump has the cute brunette in a video telling folks how to caucus. That is his style. 200k hits this AM<<
Here she is:

Very nicely made tutorial on how to caucus. You can tell Trump has competent people there.
Oh, I think those staffers know what is coming...a Trump Tsumami!
I think Mr. And Mrs. Heidi have canaries flying around their heads but haven't most of us had that WTF moment of sitting on a curb pondering what just happened?
If Cruz had done something similar to Obama this thread wouldn’t have 700 replies.
It’s all in the timing I tell ya. ;-)
“These are clearly people not likely to vote. Every tactic has probably already been tried to motivate them. So this is a last-resort effort. It might be the only motivation they understand to actually get involved and stop the liberal takeover of America.”
And if they don’t “understand” after this piece of Commie crap? Caning?
Everyone else wants Hillary to be in jail or Prison. Trump wants her in the clink. LOL. Clink seems so final... The way Trump speaks sometimes is very human and not polished. That is a good thing.
As I’ve said before, Cruz is a product of Washington. He doesn’t even live in our world, much less understand it. It’s fortunate that this comes to light before he gains access to the whole shebang isn’t it?
If I got something like that, I’d think it was a dirty trick from an opponent. No candidate would be stupid enough to do something like that otherwise.
That is effective.
I could fine anything in the media about that, I did see Beck lost some people and Carson lost some people (to Cruz). Have you confirmed the story? tia
I disagree with you. I would be offended and call out whatever candidate did something like this.
How does Red State comment on Cruz’s campaign manager admitting to sending these out?
A pro-Trump post as post 666? The fundies can have fun with that one.
Obviously you are another one of the many around here that believe our constitution is a living document and it means whatever you want it to mean. In 1790 Cruz would not have even been considered a citizen of the USA. Did that get thru? Not even a citizen! Now how you go from not even a citizen to a natural born citizen (NBC) as the founders considered NBC is quite the mental feat.
Cruz is a naturalized citizen. The 1934 Naturalization Act (and follow up legislation) conferred citizenship on Cruz. If a Naturalization Act confers your citizenship you are not a natural born citizen. This is not rocket science. No legislation confers citizenship to a natural born citizen. Here is a question for you. My parents were US citizens I was born in the USA, what law makes me a citizen?
The son of a Cuban, born in Canada to an American mothers is not a natural born citizen if you go by original intent. Not even close.
