Unbelievable – Ted Cruz Campaign Sends Out Personal “Shaming Letters” To Iowa Voters…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 30, 2016 | Sundance

It has now been confirmed - The photograph of Ted Cruz campaign shaming letters is legit (see below). The letters are officially from the Ted Cruz campaign.

Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler confirmed to IJ Review that the mailer was theirs in a phone call Friday evening, saying that the targeting had been "very narrow, but the caucuses are important and we want people who haven't voted before to vote." (link) 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. How the Cruz Team would think a public shaming campaign is a good idea is just staggeringly unbelievable.

The campaign scheme was exposed via Twitter where "Tom Hinkeldy, a resident of Alta, Iowa, tweeted a photo (which was later deleted because it included his personal address) on Friday evening of a mailer Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign sent addressed to his wife, Steffany" -link-

Word spread rapidly.

I am perhaps the most loyal Ted Cruz supporter at Free Republic ...

I am an official Florida campaigner for Ted Cruz in Florida ...

and this VOTER SHAME FLYER is FREAKING INSULTING and STUPID beyond imagination !!!


Without a doubt, Ted Cruz signed-off on the decision to do this ...

and if Ted Cruz has one-half a brain HE WOULD APOLOGIZE ... tonight.



Unfortunately, I have received fund-raising e-mail solicitations from Ted Cruz with the same shaming philosophy ...

and I DELETED every damn one of them.



Talk about snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory !!!!

I’m sorry. I know how bad it feels when a candidate disappoints. Have you written his campaign?
