Dear Mr. Levin,
My name is Lauren Stephens. Iâve been involved in politics for a long time â mostly just as a pissed off American, but I also own a campaign services company. I do not work for any of the Presidential Campaigns. I am not coordinated with any of them. I have not spoken to any of them. I am not being paid by anyone for this. I am getting absolutely nothing for writing this.
First off, I would like to let you know that I have been a huge fan and follower of yours since probably about 2007 or 2008. I have several, but not all, of your books. They are really good stuff. I have even downloaded the majority of your podcasts.
Mr. Levin, for years, I have had nothing but the utmost respect for you. Your word has always been your bond. If you doubt my sincerity, you can ask a former co-worker of yours from the Reagan Administration, Dixie Cassell. You could ask a real patriot, C Steven Tucker, from the Chicago area. You could ask a lot of people. They know me.
For years, you have been a champion of We The People, and maybe today, you still believe that you are. But at this point, I beg to differ. Not because I want to, but because I believe I have a little bit more inside information than you have on certain issues surrounding the Presidential race. And the GOP.
I hope you will keep in mind, my respect and admiration for you, before you respond â IF you respond. Although I am angry, I come to you without malice. I am here simply because I know of no other way to get this message to you.

One thing this primary season is showing is that perfect candidates and pundits are as rare as hen’s teeth.
I support Trump, but his stance on vaccination is repellent to me. I love what Cruz says about constitutional conservativism but some of his actions seem nefarious.
I’d wager if Reagan himself was miraculously able to run in 2016 we’d have fights about his candidacy.
What is Trump’s stance on vaccinations?
Is this the same (or a different) Lauren Stephens who used similar smear tactics for the SB277 Referendum?
I will assume she's the first one since her rant about Cruz is liberally laced with PRAISES of Trump....but I would be interested to know if she's also the second one
As a voter, I'm looking for information...NOT PROPAGANDA
It’s not clear to me what is wrong with tying to repeal vaccination laws. I am very against them myself, as every vaccination permanently weakens the immune system. They should be used with discretion of parents only.
You would think measles was akin to ebola to hear the hysteria.
First, from what I can tell the financial trail she posted appears to be actual so that wouldn’t fall into the area of propaganda.
Second...I don’t personally know anything else about her. The first I heard of SB277 was from an earlier post. I have NO idea if she is paid by anyone for her support - hard to imagine Trump paying her since it would go against his grain. He’s too cheap and doesn’t need to pay someone almost no one heard of for a twitter page.
Third...she said clearly in her letter she had been for Cruz but changed her mind to Trump because of Cruz’s financial issues.
The only thing that really interested me was Cruz’s financial trail.
Thanks for responding. I was interested in the "financial trail" also but something smells fishy when you are supposedly reporting misdeeds, say "understand this isnt some back door hit piece" and then spend a large part of your "expose" pumping up how great your guy is. That sends up red light warnings to me like Obama saying he was going to "fundamentally transform America". LOL
Seems this gal also wanted to sue EVERY Republican in the United States....from the Federal, State and County level under RICO per a Weaponized News submitted article...so added to the above, I don't think she holds much credibility with me.
Maybe you can answer a question for me though. Before a candidate runs for President, are they "vetted" by anyone? If not, wouldn't the RNC (as much as they hate Cruz) have him disqualified NOW to make room for one of the other "preferred" candidates if he had done something wrong?
Seems every election cycle that it gets harder and harder to separate fact from fiction. And with all the stuff being thrown out in this race, you can't research fast enough to form an opinion before another accusation follows. haha
First, a tax credit is not the same thing as a subsidy. I’m all for people paying as little in taxes as possible. The money just goes to feed the bloated bureaucracy and impoverishes all of us.
Second, end all subsidies. There is nothing in the Constitution about taking money from one to give to another. It’s legalized theft, and unfortunately, people and business leaders want their place at the trough.
Exactly! The other comment confuses tax credits with subsidies. I’m all for tax credits and totally against subsidies for anyone.
