Amusing tactic for a "protest by mail'"

[bill gray]

Saw an article about how to protest the actions of a college administrator that can be adapted for many situations. The idea is inject your two cents into an controversy and get noticed. You send a check for $.02 to the person or institution you want to influence and add a note about what you want. Ask for a receipt. The recipient gets your message and spends $.32 more on the receipt that the donation plus supplies and labor. The re-election funds for your least favorite legislators would be a fine target for your two cents worth of input.

I don't do this but I put all my junk mail in a pile and when I get a real good pile, I take all the prepaid return envelopes and put a flyer form a different envelope or I mail the empty return envelope, or I put some ripped up flyers and mail them back.

That costs them return postage, then it costs them time to process the envelope, and it helps keep jobs for some of my friends and family that work for the Post Office.

however, I do like your idea and I may donate my $1,00 to Hildebeast ($0.01 cents at a time)

Well Don Q, next time tape one of your business return envelopes to a concrete block or used tire.

I have had friends tell me they will,wrapped them in plain brown paper and added the return mail to that. YMMV

Thank you very much sir. I'm going to enjoy remailing junk mail tremendously. I might even quit my job and do it full time. The post office wouldn't let me mount a shredder on my house and put the US Mail logo on it, so this might be the next best thing.

Not sure the post office will accept Hi-Poin
ts for delivery.

Always mail prepaid junk mail back. Been doing it for years.

The mail I get from Dems. is insane and it all goes back into the "system"




I get polled at least every 45 days too, nothing but a play on words and totally biased.
