Iโ€™m running to defeat Ted Cruz because this fight is personal. As a fourth generation Texan, Iโ€™m sick and tired of watching Ted Cruz put his own selfish interests over Texas families every chance he gets. Iโ€™m ready to give Texans the senator we deserve. And after a historic campaign launch, since which this team has raised $6.2 million in our first 59 days, more and more experts across the country are convinced that we can pull off the upset victory of the century. But hereโ€™s the thing: Ted Cruzโ€™s special interest allies arenโ€™t gonna let him go down without a fight. Theyโ€™re ready to spend millions of dollars to keep him in power. Thatโ€™s why I need your help. Iโ€™m not taking a dime from special interests or corporations โ€“ instead, Iโ€™m counting on your grassroots support to power this campaign to victory. Iโ€™ve got a $50,000 fundraising goal I need to hit by midnight, so Iโ€™m personally asking: Will you chip in any amount you can spare right now to help me fire Ted Cruz?
๐Ÿ‘‹ Did you see this news? After CNN named Ted Cruz the MOST vulnerable GOP senator in the country, Colin Allred outraised him by nearly $2 MILLION last quarter! Cruz won his last race by just over 2 points, and now heโ€™s starting to fall behind! This is the BEST chance Democrats have ever had to kick Ted Cruz out of office. But with GOP mega donors rushing to help Ted, we canโ€™t beat him without you. ๐’๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž, ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐ข๐ง ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ค๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐“๐ž๐ ๐‚๐ซ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ?
We can beat Ted Cruz. Political experts from CNN to 538 all say itโ€™s a 50/50 race. But we canโ€™t win if we miss our fundraising goals, and right now weโ€™re just short of our $50K goal. So please, will you chip in now to help Colin defeat Ted Cruz?
Itโ€™s Colin. If everyone reading this post chipped in $5, we'd be able to hit our $50K fundraising goal in no time. But I know not everyone can, so I'm personally asking: Please, will you pitch in a couple bucks now to help me defeat Ted Cruz and everything he represents?
Please? Itโ€™s Colin Allred. Iโ€™m here to ask for $5 to help reach my $50K fundraising goal. Iโ€™m relying on a surge of donations from posts like this to get us there โ€“ and whether or not we hit it depends on you. So please, will you chip in right now to defeat Ted Cruz?
