Raising Money on the EL CHAPO Act

Last week, we discussed Ted Cruz's bill, the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act” or the “EL CHAPO Act."

This week, he is raising campaign money on it.  An email:

John, 
Notorious drug smuggler ‘El Chapo’ is going to a federal Supermax prison, for good - and the federal government is now sitting on the billions seized from his operations.

Have you heard about my EL CHAPO Act, which would put these funds to use to build the wall?

‘El Chapo’ may be the most well-known of his kind in recent times, but unfortunately there are many like him that contribute to an expansive network of mayhem and murder.

I believe we should use ALL the funds we seize from them to build the wall. Let’s force the smugglers themselves to shut down the flow of drugs across the border!

If you have not signed my EL CHAPO Act petition, you can do so here.

And if you agree that Congress should pass this bill into law, please rush a $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100 emergency contribution today, or more if you can!

You can make a huge direct impact on this effort. Every dollar will help us reach 27 people online, to secure more signatures before our petition deadline at the end of the month:







John, we must show Congress that the American people are behind me on this bill, and every bit of support is a huge help.

Let’s pay for the wall, without burdening U.S. taxpayers! This is a common-sense solution that will help build the wall and won’t cost taxpayers one dime.

Thank you again John, for all your involvement and support.

Please help today as we work to build momentum behind this critical legislation!

For liberty,



Ted Cruz
