The GOP sent me a post-paid envelope. What should I send back to them?
I don't know how I got on the "House Conservatives Fund" mailing list, but they'd like me to send them money so they can "fight for not just a Republican majority, but a CONSERVATIVE Republican majority."

Of course, unless I undergo a lobotomy or become posessed by the Devil, that just won't happen. But they did send this postage-paid 4 x 10 envelope. I'd like to send it back with something that will cost them a LOT of money in postage. Rocks were my first thought, but they're rather chunky and I have a feeling the post office won't deliver it.

Any suggestions?

6. You'd be surprised what the Post Office is willing to deliver
I've heard tell of people taping one of those postage paid envelopes to a brick, then mailing the whole thing in. Not sure if they'd still do that, but they definitely used to be willing to.

then above it in bright red lipstick kiss it so that it's a pair of lips then right in the word 'my' and hope that they get the idea.

And I wonder why they don't send me stuff anymore :shrug:

25. You can fit a small mail order catalog in a legal size envelope.
If you take your time & cut neatly, you can fit a small LL Bean catalog in. Been doing this for a while now.

I use magazines & mail order catalogs, as the paper is more dense. When I think I have a winner, I ask my friend Bob at the PO to tell me the postage cost. My best stuffing stuffing to date cost MBNA $2.44.

35. Pretend you are seriously unsophisticated and
enclose some pocket change.

Then write a shaky "Thanks" or "Keep up the good work" on the response card.

That way they'll keep sending you stuff and you can keep costing them money.

Heh Heh.

37. Pubes.
and something to weigh down the envelope to increase shipping costs of course.

But Pubes would just be funny. Can you imagine getting an envelope full of pubes? You'd be like "DUDE! Some asshole sent me pubes, they must really hate me."

See what I mean?

38. fill it with 3 x 5 cards and send it back nice and heavy. I fill out the
donation form with wrong info and Ronald Reagan's name and check the box that i would love to donate $100.00. Of course, do not send the money and they will continue to send the post paid envelopes trying to get their $$$$. they dont even care if it is filled with 7 3x5 cards. they are greedy bastards and will keep sending you letters. hilarious.
if you want to, write down nice notes about how you feel about their party.

43. I get mail from the Republican Party all the time.
I have no idea how I got on their list. We live in a solidly Republican area, maybe that's why. I vote in the Democratic Primaries.

I used to write all over the stuff they sent me that I would never vote Republican and request that they take me off the list. Then I'd stick it in their prepaid envelope and send it back.

It has never worked so now I simply make a detour to my garbage can on the way back to the house.

Every little bit HELPS, and it will make you feel soooooo much better when the GOP subsidizes your political contribution...

Mass-mail marketers now use this method to trace abuse of their postage-paid envelopes. Just a heads-up.

63. Deliciusly diabolical - -
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 03:17 PM by Ready2Snap
The plan:

1-Reproduce the envelope (See above post re: trace back markings)and have a couple thousand printed up.
2-Get a P.O. box at local mail center(Mailboxes Etc., UPS Store, etc.)
3- Offer them to DUers with a weekly post. Have them send you a buck for each envelope plus a SASE.

They can send them all the wonderful things listed above(except the illegal ones, of course!)
and you can use the profits to support local progressive candidates.

You get to have fun, they get to pay the bill! What could be better?
