Friend, Ted Cruz has betrayed the American people time and time again. 

When he couldn't get his way with the Affordable Care Act in 2013, he was more than happy to push for a government shutdown – no matter how many livelihoods and essential services he was putting at risk.

And last week, when our nation was nearly pushed into crisis yet again, Ted Cruz couldn't care less. He's one of nine Republican Senators who voted AGAINST the bipartisan funding bill that prevented a government shutdown. 

🚨Dallas Morning News: Ted Cruz voted against deal to avert government shutdown

Ted Cruz is part of the problem in Washington. His self-serving, out-of-touch antics are hurting Texans, and that’s exactly why Colin Allred is running to beat him.

But unlike Ted Cruz, Colin Allred can't do this alone. Can you pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you're able to so Colin can take him down and put an end to his reign of extremism in the Senate?

Friend, Colin doesn’t do politics like Ted Cruz. When Colin and his Republican colleagues don't see eye to eye, Colin works to find the best solution for his constituents. In fact, he was recently named the most bipartisan member of the Texas delegation.

But throughout his 10 years in the Senate, Ted Cruz has only worked to serve one person: himself – and it's cost Texans dearly.

Election experts agree: We have a real chance to beat Ted Cruz. But Colin is running a grassroots campaign, which means that we can't do it without your help. So, please, before midnight, will you chip in to reach our $45,000 daily goal:

Rush $5 or more right now to power our fight to defeat Ted Cruz and elect the leader that Texans deserve!

Thanks for standing with us,

Colin Allred for U.S. Senate
