Heres a good but inexpensive way to spread the word about fraud
Make flyers then send them out in all those junk mail envelopes that say "No postage necessary if mailed in the United States" People will pass them around the office or bring them home to show family and friends, its cheap and we can recycle in the process.

3. can someone come up with a good flyer?
I'd be willing to start doing this. I have a friend who routinely stuffs the stamped envelopes with junk mail from other companies and sends it back to the sender. And for those that come with an actual postage stamp on them, she puts an address label over their address and send sout mail to her friends.

4. We are cheating ourselves by not paying the postage.

5. What! How are we cheating ourselves. I think the junk mailers should
pay me for wasting my time and using up my trash space.

6. We are not cheating ourselves - we're letting them foot the bill
On the pre-paid envelope the postage is paid by the addressee - at a steep price. They can send out as many of those printed envelopes as inserts in ads and bills that they want but only pay for only the ones actually used for returned mail when they bounce back to the mail box. Usually at a price that is higher the going rate for the privilege (last time I checked it was something like .55 cents to 65 cents per envelope.

That's why they are such a good way for us to get our message out. Especially to the companies that do not support democratic and constitutional issues...and just love to donate to the repugs and the Faux President. Feel sure the handy dandy credit card companies (just to name one bunch, add to the list) that love to tip toe the line between outrageous rates and usury would just love to get a bunch for the holidays. I'm in. Now if only the GOP would send me some mail and an envelope.

7. If enough of us do it, we can reach a lot of people who otherwise
wouldn't know anything is going on,

Just make up your own flyers, its simple, easy, doesn't take much time, and your only expense is a some paper.

I believe there are some flyers floating around here somewhere, if you know please post the link.

I will be sending them out everyday this week, with the news that will be trickling out tomorrow, people just might take notice.

Its something everyone can do to help get it out there.
