Should we mail them pink slips, the house Republicans that is?

Say on it:

YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB, THE BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE.

YOU ARE FIRED!

Respectfully,

A concerned citizen and voter.


Maybe mail sacks of them delivered to their offices might get their attention and the realization that the majority of Americans are pissed.

Not me though cause I'm not good at organizing things like this. I will mail pink slips to all those congress critters involved. It's worth the cost of a book of stamps and some pink paper.

to get them replaced with responsible legislators, not stupid idealists, or in some cases con artists.

What a FANTASTIC idea! I think I'll try that!

Maybe print it out on full-size pink paper and fold it in thirds to staple shut with a single staple. With the sides open and unsealed. Then you can see that it's clear there's nothing improper hidden in there. No envelope needed.

with the anthrax letters that were mailed to various government officials and newspeople, in the months after 9/11. Time was, back then, it was an exercise in futility to mail anything to your reps in Washington DC. It was all suspect. So that was an easy way to prove your letter was harmless and contained nothing suspicious or evil. Just fold it twice so it would fit in a standard business envelope, except you don't put it in an envelope. Just seal the folded paper with one staple or a little piece of tape in the middle - leaving both ends open.

cut them into post card size, address on front, message on back. Sounds like a great idea just to have a hundred or so hanging around.
