Is It Time For Everyone To Send VOIDED Checks To Our Representatives?
People in Phoenix have started doing this. Sounds like a great idea to me

Make it out for the maximum donation even if you don't have that in your account

It won't matter, a voided check cannot be cashed

Enclose it with a note telling them why you are doing it

and what they can do to get the donations flowing again

8. You could also send them a get out of Iraq pocket watch


Go to http://www.artscafe.com/maximus7 and search on Iraq and you will find the pocket watch. It costs about what a telegram used to cost.

2. Make sure to black out your account number
on the check. Good idea.

5. The best idea is to use a hole punch
and eliminate the numbers altogether.

There's a ghost of a chance that there's still a magnetic reader out there instead of a laser.

3. It'll likely just be a waste of checks, but whatever makes you feel better. - n/t
