NYE SHOCK: Voters and Media “annoyed” by Cruz’s constant email spam for cash
Prtnly ^ | January 1, 2016 | Voltova Dmitri

Posted on 01/01/2016 3:10:26 PM PST by conservative98

Ted Cruz raked in massive profits by getting $5,000,000 from club for growth, a pro-Amnesty organization with ties to "globalist" causes, but that isn't enough. Ted Cruz now needs money from the people, and is sending spam emails to his followers (and non followers) via email for cash, often with threatening titles:

" ***CNN BREAKING NEWS: Hillary campaign raises over $100 Million***

This is the most critical, most important email I have ever sent you.

As I write you, CNN is breaking the news that Hillary Clinton's campaign has just passed the $100 Million dollar fundraising mark.

Jeb Bush passed the $100 Million mark months ago.

DMITRI, I'm fighting for my political life, and your response to this email will determine the success of this campaign and ultimately the future direction of our country for years to come.

I'm asking one last time: will you make a year-end gift to help me compete with Hillary and Jeb's hundreds of millions?" Political Guru of FOX News Todd Starnes reports on facebook to major laughs: Todd Starnes 8 mins ·

I think Ted Cruz is a very nice fellow. But he's gotta stop spamming us with campaign email. I've received nearly a dozen emails today -- 12 emails in one day!

And the subject lines are "EMERGENCY!" "HELP!" "BREAKING!"

Senator Cruz, do you have one of those Nigerian spammers working on your campaign staff?

Please, stop sir!

Frankly, I don’t know what it is either. Whatever it is, it’s dreadful!

Actually, since I sent you that, I did a little research. Apparently Cruz and co. filmed about 2-3 hours of raw footage earlier in the year and published it on Youtube. This was done so that his SuperPacs would have material they could use to create their own ads. But since, by law, they’re not allowed to coordinate with their SuperPacs, this was the only legal way they were able to come up with share the footage with them.

Go on Youtube and have a look. There’s a story on CNN from early December, where they explain it and show some of the footage.

Thanks for the info!

Cruz was wrong to do this. He should know better. This raw footage is just HORRIBLE; not to mention something an amateurish mistake of vast proportions. Whatever "good" he imagined this would do, he was dead wrong about it.

I agree. It really highlights the ‘creepiness’ factor that a lot of people have a problem with.

I've been watching the TWILIGHT ZONE marathon and believe me, that raw footage is creepier than most of that series!

Yes, the raw film is CREEPY!

I get about 180 emails an hour. Don't read more than a few, respond to even less. No big deal, but certainly bad PR for the Cruz team.

Love that gif above. Go Cruz, but turn off the spammers! You should have inherited $100,000,000 like Mr. Above-the-Fray!

Trump didn't inherit $100,000,000!

Trump's father was worth about 250 million at his death. Donald had three siblings, at that time and his mother was still alive, IIRC. Ergo, his father's estate was larger than you imagine, but there were far more to inherit the estate's money/etc. !

Whatever Trump is now worth, the vast majority of it is of his own making and hard work.

We sent him a check for $50 a few months ago and had planned on sending more when we could afford it. However, his people have been invading our privacy with the incessant barrage of emails and phone calls.

We tried to "Unsubscribe" but it DOES NOT WORK.

Fortunately, the Gmail "Report Spam" button sends that crap to the Spam folder.

As for telephone solicitations, they didn't stop calling either. I had to report them to the Federal Trade Commission National Do Not Call Registry.

Wifey got one a few days ago from Heidi saying Ted was all kinds of depressed and upset. Pathetic

As a New Hampshire resident, I get hit 20 or 30 times a day with political ads and money requests. On the other side, I’vs met almost all of the candidates and either presidents.

I get one or two emails a day but consider it as a fact of life - Cruz will need money to stay viable and he prefers “Joe Citizen” backing whenever possible. I did donate one extra time due to a phone call but have opted to ignore the emails and phone calls and stick with my monthly plan. I finally texted “Stop” to the text messages I was receiving on my phone every 3rd day or so - pain in the neck but necessary evil of politics unless one has a lot of the uber-rich backing them...

Would you let us know if you get an update on this issue.

The next conference call should be the evening of January 7. No guarantees that the folks running the call are directly involved, but they would surely know who is. If you Freepmail me on Friday morning, that will remind me to respond.

Is this your disclosure of Trump affiliation, or have you made that elsewhere on another thread?
