Democratic group sends lovely fruit basket to Ted Cruz as GOP popularity plummetsBy Travis Gettys - RawStory

Some of President Barack Obamas closest allies sent a nice fruit basket to one of the most prominent faces of the deeply unpopular congressional Republicans.
Americans United For Change announced it had sent the gift to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose insistence on tying funding for the Affordable Care Act to funding for the federal government helped lead to the current shutdown.
Recent polls have shown the GOP favorability ratings have plunged to all-time lows for any political party, while Obamas popularity has risen slightly and support for his signature health care law has grown.
Dear Ted, said the card on the fruit and snack basket sent by the groups president, Brad Woodhouse. A Texas sized thank you!! Thanks to you, Obamacare is more popular and the GOP is less so. Keep up the Good Work!! Yours, Americans United for Change.
