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.

I've been lurking a lot longer before I joined so I don't feel I'm a newbie. Now that I'm retired, I have can devote more time to FR. If you disagree with my opinions that's alright. If you want to get personal, that's your problem.
Well.. do YOU support SUPPORT MUSLIM HONOR KILLINGS???
Trump; met Melania at a party or an event; NOT from some magazine.
And Melania was a model; not some porno queen.
Besides which YOU brought up how "GREAT" Cruz's parents were. They aren't. You're the one who opened THAT door. Perhaps you'd now like to shut it.
And this revolting, invasive thing that Cruz/his team sent out is not just smarmy and sleazy, but NOT going to help Teddy any. And FYI...this in
I absolutely agree too many are ignorant of political ideology. You have to understand the Trumpkins all over the place pushing the meme that conservatism is bad, ideology is bad, purists are bad, “extreme right” is bad. They’re all trying to defend Trump’s being wrong on so many issues conservatives hold dear.
From where I sit, liberal ideology is winning the day because it’s being taught in schools and the media. To change things the way we want them to be changed, we have to teach people conservative ideology.
I don’t understand what you mean that “the state of conservatism” is a mess. I think we’re in a mess because people are abandoning conservatism for something Trump is offering that is very shallow, weak, murky, inconsistent and appeals to lowest common denominator impulses, just because he’s a big-name spokesman and markets it well.
Conservatism is ALWAYS the underdog in a national election. That doesn’t mean we don’t all keep fighting for it and looking for our opening. And we have to focus on changing the fundamentals to get more people well-versed in these principles, small government, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, etc.

Do you support stopping beating your wife?
And please don't say this is some sort of specialized mailer that very few people see. This is all over the Internet. What should the Cruz campaign do?
massive fail - will only tick off most people
Do you support stopping beating your wife?
Do you support Cruz stopping his brow beating of voters?

I’ll take the one correction that he met Melania at a party originally. But she did pose nude. Everything else I said is accurate.
You’re a sick man criticizing Cruz’ parents. He has a great relationship with both parents and his dad is a reformed Christian minister. You’re allowed to be forgiven past sins if you truly repent and believe in your faith.
Interesting catch and great analogy!
I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

LOL, I’m not worried about it. It’s a little internet tabloid story that no serious journalist would focus on.
I get junk mail like this all the time for insurance and whatnot. It’s just a standard marketing tactic. You open it, laugh at it and throw it out. No one who was leaning to vote for Cruz is going to vote against him because of this.
What they should do is say exactly what their campaign spokesman just said, and pivot to talk about real issues that affect the future of this country.
Hahaha
With both eyes open
I’m done. I’ve got to get some shut eye.
I’ll leave with this thought:
