I need help with some ideas

I just took in the mail and I got a letter from the NRA asking me to join... They even included a prepaid return envelope... How nice of them

Now... Since they were nice enough to send me a letter that included a prepaid return envelope, I really feel I should use it. It is early though... And I have done the whole wake-n-bake thing... So help out, what should I put in the envelope?

Be nice and keep it legal!

I would get my nice paper and create a card to fit the envelope. On the outside I would draw a pretty image of flowers or something. On the Inside I would print in big bold letters: FUCK YOU

Maybe about a dozen of them (or however many I can fit) to give it some more heft and cost them more money

Just seal the prepaid envelope and send it back to them. That way they get to pay the postage.

Anyone actually associated with the NRA would never see it.

used to melt down for fishing weights. A campaigner I know used the sheets to stuff self-addressed envelopes to a politician that ended up paying a huge USPS postal bill. Get this stuff at amazon and drive the NRA into bankruptcy.

I mean... Would the post office take it? We have a few odd cinder blocks stacked next to the shed and that was my first thought but then I was thinking they would probably not take it, it would have to fit in the envelope. Maybe I should ask our mailman tomorrow.

by contractors hired by the organization, which just remove the checks or credit card info and throw everything away. Anyhow, the NRA has already proved that it can't be shamed.
