Somehow, Ted Cruz has my email. Got an email last night begging for money!

Coventina,

Monday I announced my campaign for President, and ever since, I've been under constant attack.

Will you chip in $5 -- or even $35 -- to help me fight back?

You see, the liberal media has called me every name in the book -- attacking me for everything from announcing my campaign at a Christian university to listening to country music.

I want you to see a few of the headlines and just how truly desperate the Left is to discredit and destroy me:

– "I think he's the worst. I think he's scary, I think he's dangerous, I think he's slimy and I think he brings no fresh ideas." - Donny Deutsch & MSNBC

– "Ted Cruz's phenomenally bad idea" - Washington Post

– "Ted Cruz's 'country music' drivel: What's really behind his musical conversion" - Salon.com

– "Can You 'Imagine' Ted Cruz as President?" - The New Yorker

Coventina, every day since I announced, I have been faced with a new set of attacks with each more vulgar than the last.

One thing is clear; the so-called "tolerant" Left is a myth. They are unable and unwilling to engage beyond their redistributive, socialist agenda and inflammatory rhetoric.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today with a personal request.

Will you help me fend off the Left's attacks by clicking below and making an instant, secure emergency contribution?

EMERGENCY DONATE $25 »

EMERGENCY DONATE $50 »

EMERGENCY DONATE $150 »

ANOTHER AMOUNT »

Our country cannot withstand another day of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the liberal Democrats' socialist policies -- and that's why I'm running for President.

Together we can lead the fight to reignite liberty and restore the true promise of America.

We must rise up against the liberal agenda and restore America's promise, honor the Constitution, and re-establish our leadership in the world.

I'm ready to stand, are you?

My campaign is less than a week old and I'm already drawing fire from every media outlet in the country...here's what that means for my campaign:

1. It's how I know we are on the right track. The Left is fighting this hard against me because they know our ideas will fundamentally reverse Barack Obama's policies.

2. I need your immediate support to counteract their hatred and lies. Please, follow this link and chip in at least $5 -- or as much as $35 -- please do it right now if you can.

I announced for President to reignite liberty and restore the true promise of America.

Will you stand with me?

Will you chip in just $5 -- or maybe even $35 -- and together we will restore America.

For liberty,

Ted Cruz

P.S. Coventina, there is a gulf in our country between career politicians in Washington and the rest of us. We must buck the trend and break the cycle. If you agree, follow this link to make an emergency contribution of $25 or more to fend off their attacks.

*********************************************************************

If this is the best his campaign can do (this is so unprofessional and so poorly written I can almost believe Cruz wrote it himself!) I don't think he'll be in the clown car for very long.....

Lately, the DNC/POTUS sounds like a bad collections agency...

"We've reviewed your 'account'"
"Your status is in danger..."


Thanks for sharing that. Hilarious.

As Palin quickly realized, you can start a PAC, collect money, KEEP the money, and not bother with a serious campaign.
Cruz is leading the race to get his hand out.

Dear Favorite Uncle Rafael Ted,

How are you doing? Hope all is well with you and everybody?

I am sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to Canada for a business trip and right now, i am stranded here and need to get back to the good old USA without delay.

I need a favor from you because I was robbed on my way back to my hotel suite.

The robbers carted away with my bag containing my wallet, passport, phone, flight ticket, my picture of you, and other valuables.

I will like you to lend me the sum of $3,500 US Dollars or any amount you can afford as half bread is better than none so that i can sort out my hotel bills and get myself back to the bestest state in the Union, Texas.

I promise to pay you back with an extra $1,000 US Dollars as soon as i return home in a few days time, so kindly let me know if you can be of help.

I was told the fastest and safest way to receive money in seconds is through western union (since that is what works here). So, if you can be of help, you can send the money using the details below.

Thanks in advance,
Your loving nephew.
