Have you received your push poll from your rep?

Last edited Fri Jan 6, 2012, 03:18 PM - Edit history (1)

I got mine yesterday. It was mailed by franking.

I have seen one other instance described here and I am wondering if it was also franked. Mine and that one are both R reps.

Since these are obvious push polls, why are our tax dollars paying the postage? Why are they not being paid out of campaign funds?

Yes, I know the justification is I'm doing a survey, but is this practice also done by D reps? By that I mean sending out push polls via franking.

Edit to add: Really? the card says on the front prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.

I'm wondering if this is a coordinated campaign activity using our tax dollars and no one seems to care.

Were they printed by the GPO? What was the cost?

Were D reps afforded the same?
