I'm sending back every piece of Republican mail my mother has gotten in her behalf. Suggestions

on what to write on it? She used to tell them to stop calling her and would hang up on them. She now has dementia so I will do this is her behalf.

To get something like that from "a Republican donor" would freak them out. 10 pieces of mail she has gotten..... many from different right-leaning entities.

you would support the GOP but as long as they stand behind Trump they cannot be trusted. make them worry they will be voted out if they don't impeach.

like an enclosed envelope with their address on it, then send it on back. He said that they will then, by law, HAVE TO pay postage on it, and then they'll leave you be, eh?

My best, best wishes to your and mother, kerry -

The USPS gives a low rate for sending out bulk mail and gets a flat rate on every postage paid return, which is more than the stamp cost, but hardly enough to cover a brick. I knew some postal employees who liked to mail back blank forms so USPS could benefit.

I guess next you'll tell me that in 1975 a woman *did not*, after bathing her poodle, blow it up trying to dry it in her new microwave?!

Dammit, Scruffy1!!
