I just received a fundraising email from Ted Cruz

How in the hell did they get my email? The email came from ted@tedcruz.org. Is that a real fundraising thing? It asks for up to $1,000. At the bottom of the email, it says I was added to their mailing list on Aug 21st with the option to unsubscribe. Is this legit? If so, did they buy my info from somewhere? Wtf?

On edit: this is the link that was attached to the unsubscribe button.

Cruz For President
********,

I had to share this with you:

Likeliest Republican nominee as of today: @tedcruz. -- Ben
Domenech

That's right: heavyweight conservative author, co-founder of RedState, co-founder of web magazine The Federalist, and writer behind conservative email blast The Transom -- Ben Domenech thinks we are most likely to win the Republican nomination.

And he's not the only one...the national media is starting to take notice too.

*******, here's why:

1) Americans are angry and sick of being used and lied to by the Washington Cartel.


2) The "electable" candidates are weak and falling short of expectations.


3) We've raised more money than anyone ever thought we could.

Together, we've proven that America is desperate for consistent conservatism.

But I can only win the Republican nomination if I know I have your support.

That's why I've asked my staff to put together these special "I'm With you TED" donation links. Click Here to Donate

If you are with me, I need you to make a special contribution right now...we must find a way to sustain the campaign at this critical time.

You see, we are five days from the end of August...and we are shy of the August budget by $32,504.

Can I count on your continued support?

"I'M WITH YOU TED" $35»

"I'M WITH YOU TED" $50»

"I'M WITH YOU TED" $250»

"I'M WITH YOU TED" $1000»

We have an uphill battle ahead of us, and I cannot do this without you.

For liberty,

Ted Cruz
