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!
You sure are pushy for a recent sign-on. What was your handle here the last time?
“...if you are affiliated with a campaign, organization, etc., then you have an obligation to disclose that and clarify whether your statement or activity is approved or endorsed....
....I respect honesty and would like to trust someone is commenting for themselves, ‘from the heart if you will, than being the propagandist for a candidate, organization, etc. Isn’t this important to you as well?
*****************************************************************************
Are you saying, or trying to imply, that 2DV has to, from now on, disclose that he is, or has been, a bundler (or otherwise been affiliated) for a candidate and that each comment he makes should be accompanied by a statement that it is “from his heart” and state whether or not that particular comment is “approved or endorsed” by his favored candidate?
You are coming VERY close to the tactics used by Lois Lerner and other ‘RAT operatives as they try to suppress “speech” with which they disagree. The anti-Cruz jihadists aren’t trying to go down THAT road now....are they? To me, it seems that you have started blazing a path down that Stasi trail. Threats and intimidation do not become someone who claims to be a constitutional conservative and, instead, cast doubt on those claims.
I haven’t got any... maybe 5 all told, and three of those were ‘thank yous’
Alinsky tactics, through and through.
I would not be surprised should you soon hear the informal equivalent of “Are you now, or have you ever been, affiliated, IN ANY WAY, with Ted Cruz?”
They are indeed employing Alinsky tactics — and it’s winning them no friends but it is surely exposing them for what they are IMHO.
“Cruz or lose.”
And he will. Lose, that is
Did you see the one with the two children? Can’t remember whether I saw that here or on Facebook. It’s probably what inspired that nasty monkey cartoon, the kids doing take after take.
I appreciate and thank 2ndDivisionVet for his honest disclosure. Personally, I'm still curious who the other Cruz representative is in the group and, now that this has become a point of discussion, who else here is affiliated with other campaigns, parties, or organizations.
Will I discontinue engaging 2ndDivisionVet in discussion? No! But now at least, I know he's an extension of the campaign.
He’s spamming me.
Seriously.....please look in the mirror.
You should ask to have that post pulled. Not needed on this forum :(
Since it is against campaign finance law for the campaign or Cruz to communicate with the pacs this is their way of getting around the law.
As described in your linked article, other campaigns did not post raw footage, but Cruz did. Please read your linked article.
“...he should be disclosing his affiliation, paid or not, that when he comments, further clarifying that they are his or on behalf of the campaign, and if the latter, if they are endorsed by or approved by the campaign. That is all. It is really simple....”
*********************************************************************************
It’s that simple, huh? Do you realize that without a doubt, MANY, MANY folks who post on these boards have an affiliation (paid or not, as you say) with a campaign of someone who is running for office. And, I’m pretty sure not all of them are Republicans. Since I have volunteered to help in various campaigns ...should I be required to “disclose” that everytime I post.
You, IMHO, are a disgrace and would do well working for organizations such as as the “John Doe Investigations” DA (look it up if you claim not to know of it). Such efforts are typically ‘RAT initiated. You’re in pretty disreputable company in my eyes.

Ah...so you DO want to start having “speech” and posts that you disagree with pulled. Very interesting...and informative.
Never received a dime for volunteering, starting with Al Haig, Steve Forbes, the County GOP, Fred Thompson and now Ted Cruz. Couldn’t volunteer for the Reagan campaign as I was in uniform.
I have been getting non stop pleas from Cruz.
I never signed up for any list.
Same with Carson but half as much as Cruz.
Very irritating.
I’ve never receive a dime (not counting “in-kind” free bus rides to near by neighboring states to man phone banks).
“But now at least, I know he’s an extension of the campaign.”
Do bundlers get paid a percent “commission?”
I don’t get “paid” anything. I can’t speak for the thousands of other Cruz volunteers.
I’m not sure if that’s really an actual ad of his. I think somebody took one of his ads and re-edited it. I’m not 100% sure though, and so far, I haven’t been able to find the original ad on which it was based.
