Recently the Glenn Addison Campaign uncovered evidence of a much deeper
level of conflict of interest that may threaten an already troubled
senate bid. In a May 15, 2012 article, Rolling Stone reported that the
law firm Morgan Lewis represents Goldman Sachs in a law suit involving
online company Overstock.com. Interestingly, the CEO of Overstock.com is a high profile supporter of
Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign.
"Ted Cruz is a full partner at Morgan Lewis and therefore will share in
the profits made from the firm representing Goldman Sachs," said
Addison's Campaign Manager, Phil Pepin.
"There is more to the conflict of interest than mere profits. There's
the obligation of a law firm to represent the best interests of its
client. That obligation extends to the whole law firm and would include
Ted Cruz," Pepin added.
Though the law suit filed by Overstock.com did not succeed in court,
Morgan Lewis attorneys mistakenly leaked documents that could easily
lead to more legal action. This conflict of interest will very likely
haunt Ted Cruz for years to come.
A final and very intimate connection between Goldman Sachs and Ted Cruz
exists though his wife Heidi Cruz.
Said Pepin, "She is a Vice President of Investments at Goldman Sachs --
a conflict of interest only ended by a change of employment or divorce."
"The fact she's a VP of investments makes the connection all the more a
concern because Heidi Cruz would be involved with the decision making
process affecting billions of dollars," Pepin added.
Stated US Senate Candidate Glenn Addison, "I am very troubled by the
extremely close ties between Ted Cruz and Goldman Sachs. Billions of
taxpayer dollars have been put at risk protecting reckless gamblers
masquerading as investors. Goldman Sachs was one of the worst offenders
that got bailed out. I see no evidence that behavior has changed -- and
already in the media there is talk about another round of bailouts. How
can Texans possibly trust Ted Cruz to look out for their best interests?
The connections between Goldman Sachs and Ted Cruz are unreal. They are
like conjoined twins connected at the head."

I liked Cruz, at the beginning. His dad is just AWESOME! Incarcerated and tortured by Castro, escaped to America with $20 sewed into his underwear. He was telling his story at the Tea Party Express Rally, and the crowd was just RIVETED. Hopefully, between his dad, Rand Paul, and the Tea Party, we can keep him in line. So many other TP candidates have gone bad once they got into office.
I'd take Cruz over Dewhurst any day...but that ain't saying much.
Addison is the real deal. But don't take my word for it, check him out yourself. Hell, check out ALL of them, research them one by one.
Here's the list of pols who receive G-S money and how much they get. Note the top two on the list:
