A complaint has been filed against Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz after the Republican may have violated Texas state law with an illegal fundraising letter.

There is something so antiquated about these tricks. Like some time capsule from the eighties or nineties.

Forget the sleazy tactic for a minute....why would a CRuz for President donation request come in a US Senator CRuz addressed envelope?

I am not a Cruz fan - but, in this case, there is no case.

I cannot begin to list how many fundraising letters I have received with on variation or another of this. It is called matching funds. If you give, another donor will match it.
Of course this is another bogus smear on Cruz much like the others.
Clue: “Possibly”

exactly, classic political dirty trick and little way of proving which campaign did it. Cruz is not that ignorant.

Houston Chronicle says it violates Texas law. Are you in Texas?

Cruz is making so real poor choices. If he is this inept in running a campaign keep him away from running the country.
