I cannot believe it!! I just received a photograph from Bush/Cheney
asking me to frame it and post it and send some money!!!! I'm not a Republican. What should I do ? At minimum I'll send the pre-paid letter back. What would you put in it ???

20. instead
Use it to lacquer a decoupage of his face on your toilet seat.

(Think creatively -- I still have my free Ronald Reagan doormat from subscribing to Mother Jones or New Republic or something from 20-odd years ago.)

2. Tell them you lost your job...
...and subsequently can't afford to buy a frame for the picture or send in a donation.

How come cool stuff like this never happens to me?

3. A hand written note
explicitly stating that you will be voting Dem this year because of Bush/Cheney's alarming mismanagement of the country.

Then sign you name over a big, red, ANYBODY BUT BUSH '04!

4. Crap, I'm a registered Dem... Why are they sending that stuff to me??
Perhaps I'm in a demographic group that is generally republican? Are young academics in MA generally republicans ?? Don't think so...
So, the picture has GW at his ranch with his wife. Casual clothes...
They truly ask me to frame it and put it on the wall... Kind of like the Saddam pictures everybody was supposed to have in their house in Iraq...

12. That was my first thought. Use a Sharpie, make Cheney look evil
and put a dunce cap on the chimp. Then mail it back to them.

7. Do you have a receipt from contributing to a Dem?
You should make a copy of that and send it to them.

8. Loaded question...
What would I put in it...

My kids FCAT (standardized testing scores) as compared to their grades for their real class work.

Copies of the last three years of medical insurance premiums, complete with a graph showing the rate of increase

A photograph of the son of the cashier at my grocery store who is serving in Iraq while his wife is raising the child he wasn't there to see born.

Copies of my college tuition - showing increases each semester.

A photograph of my middle-finger, standing at attention to give him the salute he really deserves.

24. If it's a postage-paid return envelope, send 'em ALL of those things
and a few more. Load it up so it costs them more. Add in all your junkmail.

Or, use it as a dartboard cover.

10. Gives you the creeps, doesn't it?
I've gotten stuff from the Reagan Library, Barbara Bush, and a few other Repub fundraisers.

I think they go by demographics. I'm certainly not registered as a Republican and don't even remember voting for a Republican.

I usually write a note, stuff the envelope with something heavy, and send it back using the Repubs postage meter.

14. pre-paid envelopes
I absolutely love getting those solicitations from the goppers that include the pre-paid reply envelopes. What I do, is find a nice website that has anti-chimp, or anti what ever repuguly that sent it to me, and print out a bunch of article, cartoons, pictures etc. Stuff that envelope full! They can afford the postage. My goal is to change the mind of just one low level campaign volunteer.

15. The more I think about that picture, that is just creepy!
When Saddam was in power, he had his portrait plastered everywhere! Is that what the dick head and the chimp want too? Frame it? EWWW, that is really creepy.

25. Yeah, the picture is not bad in itself...
I mean no stupid smirk and she looks fine... but who gives a damn about the way they look... I only subscribe to scientific journals... I can scan it and post it for people to deface, if there is interest :)... For now I'll send it back with a picture of Dean and his wife from their ABC interview!... Yeah, perhaps add some weight to it :)....

22. hahaha
I would send them back the photo & a letter explaining that you donated the money you would have spent on a frame to your favorite Democratic candidate.

off topic but Margaret Cho got an invitation to a Bush/Cheney Fundraiser with boxes to check if she would be attending or not....and said she checked the box "as if" and sent it back to them.

I say, don't waste an opportunity to use that pre-paid envelope to BushCo.

teehee

23. Do you have a bird or a cat?
You could use the picture for a bird cage liner or cat litter box.
