We got a letter like that from our power company a few winters ago. They said that we were using more electricity and natural gas than our neighbors and they gave us an “F”. At the time my brother-in-law was fighting in Iraq. My sister-in-law was going through a hard time so she and her two daughters came to live with us that winter.
They were trying to shame us into conserving power. The letter even mentioned global warming. I was extremely offended. I sent them the nastiest letter that I had ever written. I fear I would react the same way to this obnoxious letter from Cruz, but it does seem to capture the holier than thou attitude of Ted and many of his followers. I used to say that I would be happy if either Cruz or Trump was the nominee, but there has been one offensive revelation after another about Ted lately.
“I sent them the nastiest letter that I had ever written.”
Good on you for that.
I get one every month from the power company but it shows "similar homes in your neighborhood", not names or addresses. I used to get a little alarmed to be in the middle until I reasoned that in the summer I have a pool filter going besides the a/c, attic fan and dehumidifier, and in the winter I do not have an oil or gas bill (electric heat).
Now I take it that I am doing pretty good and toss it.

It reminds me of a questionnaire Southern Baptists sent out across Alabama back in the mid 90’s and based on the answers they were able to “determine” how many Alabamian’s were going to hell.
