Agreed.
Plus after I donated several times to Cruz they abused my information. Early on I disliked that fact that they hounded me with phone solicitations for money - don't even get me started on the ridiculous drama-begging emails. Here's the thing: I NEVER gave them my cell phone information, but they started calling my cell anyway, asking for money.
I asked them how they got that number and they were vague -- so I blocked Cruz campaign begging calls from multiple numbers.
It was about that time that I read about their creepy data mining operations.
NEVER again will I give that guy the time of day.
As a four time donor to the Cruz campaign, I got all the same. I actually never stopped to wonder how they got my cell phone number, but they called me quite a bit.
I got off their list by clicking the 'unsubscribe' button just once, on one email. I never got another email from them after that. The phone calls dried up, too.
Not sure how I got so lucky. Others have said they had a helluva time getting off the Cruz campaign lists.
It's their superior ground game ...
The holier than thou Puritanism stained with ironic hypocrisy did in the Cruz campaign.
