Cruz just sent this threatening, extortionate mailer out to voters in Iowa:

Threatening and extortionate? The mailer merely reminds caucus participants that non-participation is a matter of public record, and exhorts them to go vote, lest they look less than civic-minded to their neighbors.

“The mailer merely reminds caucus participants that non-participation is a matter of public record”

“merely reminds”

yeah, right.

You’d be a pretty good propagandists in the old soviet union.

The final sentence of that letter THREATENS to EXPOSE you and your neighbors caucus attendance TO EACH OTHER AFTER THE CAUCUS if you don’t attend, as follows: “A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday’s caucuses.”

That sentence is NOT a “mere reminder”. It’s a bald-faced THREAT that serves no useful get-out-the-vote purpose since it’s AFTER the caucus. It’s sole purpose is to frighten people.
