I just send them back - postage is the same for an empty envelope. Sometimes I put some of the propaganda in it, if it doesn't have any identifying info. Or send back some flyers from local elections - anything to make them waste time and money opening the envelopes

If there is a prepaid envelope that comes with JD's mail, stuff it with your junk mail, just make sure your name isn't on anything.... They pay by the weight of the mail, so the more you can get into it, the better...

Just my little way of saying "F*ck Off!!!".... in a way that cost them money...

was when Doonesbury went after HWBush, with a request for his readers to "Letter Bomb" HW, and within days HW was deluged with 400K letters, with the doonesbury coupon dumped on HW.

Do you remember that one?

Maybe someone should organize some of those......continuously dropping a huge number of protest letters on any Republican that did something dastardly the day before.......not 400K, but upwards of tens of millions, descending on the Republican asshole.
Could you imagine that Republican having to deal with 30-40-50 MILLION pieces of mail? As it is, if you email the Republican, he merely pushes a single button and erases all of them, same with a phone call. Then again it overwhelms his phones and computers.......

Actually, another thing it would do is massively boost the post office stamp sale profits, to try to thwart the Republicans planned obliteration of the USPS...........

The reality is we have to do something to massively annoy them, like the Republicans do to us daily/hourly.......The problem is, that the Dems apparently have no one capable of leading the party, and with a very few exceptions, the Dem Politicians in the Senate and House just want to sit back, do little or nothing, and constantly get beat up.....

... in this day and age you need more than scare quotes. You have to exercise extreme discretion.

We should, metaphorically speaking, with no intention of any actual malice or physical harm, simply as a way of expressing our discontent, and fully in accordance with the requirements of free speech, so called "letter bomb" them, simply and only to "gum up the works."
