Of course he didn’t sign an unknown petition. Without vetting your organization for longer than sitting for a minute in a car in front of your table, it’s political suicide for a candidate to sign some random petition.
Signing a petition not only endorses the premise, but the organizers as well.
This is how you get headlines like, “Candidate supports group with white supremacist ties.”
But take it personal that Cruz didn’t risk his political career to give you 30 seconds of face time.
I was fighting for the issue I don’t need fame either. Just wanted to point out he is not what he seems. Certainly he could have taken a copy and read it carefully. Congressman Culberson signed it in west Houston. Cruz office called us when we counter demonstrated against the Dreamers who were going to have a go at Ted. We defended him that day. I never held his refusal to sign against him but thought now was worth mentioning it. No need to snipe my heels.
