Ted Cruz sends out letter asking for money disguised as a summons. And it's legal!
Sadly, this isn't illegal, so long as there's a disclaimer on the inside. You'd think this type of obvious disingenuous crap would be illegal, but it's not. I'm sure they've decided this trick works often enough to be worth the loss of good will to people who see through it.

"Ted Cruz’s Senate re-election campaign has been sending voters in Texas a fund-raising letter in an envelope labeled “summons enclosed,” drawing criticism from some who called it misleading and raising questions about whether such a practice was legal. It is.
That is according to Myles Martin, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, who said the salient question was whether a mailing contains a disclaimer saying that it came from a political campaign. And this one did.
Aside from that, he said in an email, “the F.E.C.’s regulations don’t speak to how candidates may choose to word particular solicitations to potential contributors.”"

That's what happens when "Screw you, I've got mine" is your mantra.
