We got a USPS mailer from the DNC today

[Omaha Steve]

They will get a blistering reply instead of the $ they were expecting.

1. Maybe put a smaller sealed envelope addressed to DWS with some used toilet paper in it!

I wouldn't put it in the main envelope, as I wouldn't want to have someone who's handling those emails to get the brunt of the "message". We used to be able to have the party pay for huge return postage by attaching it to a brick. But maybe something like would hopefully send a stronger message about who we'd like to direct that sort of message to.

5. I hope you are kidding about this.

These envelopes are probably opened by minimum-wage workers who collect any enclosed checks and throw the rest away, but who have absolutely no influence on the DNC. Why make the lives of the worker bees any more miserable?

[jwirr]

10. They are getting paid so they are not going to care if the

envelop is empty. And sooner or later even DWS is going to realize that the money is not coming in.

[zeemike]

11. They don't need money from the little people

Corporate cash will keep them going just fine...but if there are a few suckers out there why not take them.

[jwirr]

29. Hillary gets corporate cash - who donates to the DNC? They

are continually begging us for money. And it has only gotten worse this last month.

[Snotcicles]

2. Oh, I let them have it with both barrels of an extra bold sharpie. nt

[MissDeeds]

9. Ha! I did the same thing

With a red sharpie!

[PADemD]

3. Sent mine back with a big fat zero donation.

Told them to get back to me when they schedule more debates.

[left-of-center2012]

4. It'll be opened by an hourly employee

DWS is immune from criticism.

[Mnpaul]

6. and tossed in the trash

when they find no money in it. I doubt anyone cares about the comments.

[artislife]

17. They will feel the absence of money, eventually

They tally those numbers.

When I worked in complaints er customer service for a film lab, we noted the complaints.


But you may be right, the DNC may not give a flying eff and make no notation. Even though it is a business, and feedback is crucial.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Why bother?

The people who open the mail will be looking for checks. It's likely that nobody will even read the enclosures.

[Plucketeer]

15. I send this stuff back too - with my comments scribbled here and there

Thing is - instead of just returning it in the envelope they provide, I spend for postage and address it to DWS' DC office. Her staff has to deal with it to some degree. Just using the return envelope they provide will NOT get it anywhere close to DWS's eyes. I've been doing this for several years now.

[SusanCalvin]

18. I see your point.

I'm going to start spending the time and postage to do that as well.

[Mnpaul]

20. I just saw a great idea

send them a voided check.

I was looking for results of their DNC survey but didn't find any.

[SusanCalvin]

27. Oh yeah!

[jwirr]

8. Good for you. I did the same. Oh, to be a little mouse in

the corner when they get all of our replies.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. did you get the one that had "Finance Department" on the return address?

Clever, Debbie. Make people think it's some sort of an invoice or something.



No, she's not getting a penny from me this cycle.

[Omaha Steve]

13. Yep

And finale notice stamped on the back.

[SusanCalvin]

19. It took me a while

To realize this was a joke.

Demonstrates what I think of DWS....

[Omaha Steve]

23. The return address really is Finance Dept

[SusanCalvin]

24. OMFG.

Desperate or stupid? Toss a coin.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Yep, I got the exact same one. Like, 2 days ago.

I considered writing a note, but it was just too easy to send it right into the shredder.

[SoapBox]

14. Just sent a survey back today...

I did not fill it out...just wrote in big letters,

No more debates for us? Then no money for you!

[840high]

21. ....x10

[SusanCalvin]

16. That is exactly what I always do.

And I use their postage-paid envelope, too.

[zentrum]

22. You bet.

And I do the same for their constant email solicitations.

[PumpkinAle]

25. For some reason we received two

twice - they were all sent back with $0 and a nice little comment about what the DNC has achieved and where they can stick it.

[davidpdx]

28. Great job Steve!

I've taken myself off their mail and email list.
