CHICAGO - Presidential candidate U.S. Senator Ted Cruz will be visiting Chicago for a $1,000/head lunch on Monday. The visit comes on the heels of recent news that Cruz has started to surge in the early primary states.

Cruz swept all five official straw polls in South Carolina, saw big gains in Iowa among conservatives, and has reeled in major conservative backers in New Hampshire.

Cruz also appears to be winning the "money primary", significantly outstripping his competitors. Groups backing Cruz raised $31 million in a single week in April,  and Cruz has raised money at a significantly faster rate than Romney four years ago.

In addition to the fundraising luncheon, Cruz is also doing a smaller event for backers of the Chicago Republican Party.

"We're grateful for the Senator's help," said Chris Cleveland, the new Chairman of the Chicago GOP, "and we're gratified that the Senator understands the importance of backing Republican organizations in America's cities."

Registration for the event is available here.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

And yet, in sooo many articles I see listing the candidates, he is often left out. At some point it becomes transparent.

I just said that very thing earlier today in a conversation.

Outrageous and disturbing. This is surely a sign of the end times. Nostradaumus was right after all!

Ted Cruz will be visiting Chicago ....

Only for the contributions. Truth be told, I wouldn't want Chicago's blood money. Or money from any blue city stronghold. Its not worth it.

[erod]

Wish I could make it, but I don’t have a $1,000 to spare, lol

[erod]

They will leave Cruz out for as long as possible and push lukewarm candidates, like Bush, Carson, and Rubio down our throats. Next step will be to try and give him limited exposure in the debates, I hope they don’t succeed.

Cruz has 5 times the smarts of anyone in Chicago.

[Defiant]

Yeah, it’s like Kennedy going to Dallas.

[anymouse]

Well Jesus went to comfort the lepers.
I’m sure there are plenty of conservatives trapped in liberal Chi-town.
Ted has a way of cutting through the media fog when he speaks directly to the people. May he turn Illinois red at the ballot box rather than just the budget or streets.
