Unbelievable – Ted Cruz Campaign Sends Out Personal “Shaming Letters” To Iowa Voters…
conservativetreehouse ^ | 1/30/2016 | sundance

Posted on 01/29/2016 10:28:45 PM PST by 20yearsofinternet

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.

And these guys accuse Trump supporters of a “cult of personality”. Yet Ted can do no wrong.

Give it up. Quit trying to justify this.

That’s not a safe thing to assume; though, I’m giving Cruz the benefit of doubt — providing the necessary dismissal of his campaign manager.

Yeah, knowing your neighbors caucusing record and being intimidaTED is real tranparent.

I forgot to add the /s tag.

Whatya think Ted?

Well, let me see if I've got this right.

We send out letters that say your neighbors are watching you, and you better go Caucus. Then we
put your neighbors informatoon in your letter, so you think they are getting yours.

Okay, lets run with it. That sounds great.

Someone is doing this to make him look really bad. Trump would never do something like this. Hell, even the commies in power would never do this.

LOL, overreact much? Political campaigns send out a lot of goofy mailers all the time. If you don’t like it, throw it in the circular file and move on. Don’t play the whiny liberal victim card.

Can you imagine Cruz’s “great ground game”? People might need pepper spray handy.

Yeah, I agree.

it’s one thing to run and maybe not win or whatever, try again next time, or maybe you do win after all.

But to engage in something like this, I would venture to say, is pretty much going to destroy him.

I’m still going to hold out hope that this isn’t real. it’s all I can do, this is nuts.

Sounds like something Trump would pull by the underlings he has working for him......

However if it is Cruz, which I highly doubt, then it would appear he’s adopted Trump tactics...Therefore... we should expect Trumpsters to be cheering that Cruz has “B*lls” and is just calling it like it is...so not a problem.

""Nobody likes him" is just a BS Trump meme"

That meme has been around since he worked on the Bush campaign. Probably sooner than that, but that's when it first percolated up.

I’d chalk this up as a fail on Cruz’s part.

Quit trying to act like getting a piece of mail with your public information in it is equivalent to being invaded by a conquering army.

I have read numerous articles about his time in college and many of his peers were very open about not being able to stand him. It had nothing to do with RINOs.

I’m in marketing. This is HORRIBLE marketing. I’m amazed you can’t see how bad this is. Heads will need to roll tomorrow.

Good point. It could have been a dirty trick, maybe a disgruntled worker.
