Calling all CT-ers for Lamont...
I'd like to invite you to do what just came to me as a mini-protest.

Today, I received the 3rd mailing in a row from Lieberman's gang which served to do nothing but enrage me more than I already am if that's possible.

I immediately called his office at

Main District Office:
1 Constitution Plz., 7th Fl.
Hartford, CT 06103
Phone: (860) 549-8463
Fax: (860) 549-8478

and asked to be connected to someone on his campaign mailing staff. When she got on the line, I told her that I needed to be removed from his mailing list IMMEDIATELY...that, yes, I AM a Democrat which is why I will NOT be voting for him and that I consider these attack ads extremely offensive and do not wish to be the recipient of such rhetoric.

I did make her repeat my name and address and have her re-confirm that I will be removed from the list and then I added that I expect that to happen because if I get another one, I will consider it harassment and will take appropriate action from there.

Furthermore, I'm planning to send the very expensive, high glossy mailings right back to them with a "pithy" note!

If nothing else, it sure feels good to vent!

Have a great w/e, truthseekers!

1. Good for you! I regularly return mailings I get from the GOP and
Republicans with a nasty note. If there's a postage paid envelope, I stuff it full of torn up catalogs, junk mail, etc., and send it back so they have to pay postage on it.

I'm glad you called Lieb's office, I hope they get hundreds of calls today just like yours!

3. RE:I stuff it full of torn up catalogs,
I've been doing that too for years!!
I try to find a box and fill it with old telephone books and include a note suggesting to the GOP that they 'try contacting the enclosed'!
I tape the Prepaid evenvelope to the box! :+

8. I send the GOP letters back with obscenity-laced letters and bricks
They sent me a GOP Platinum Membership card in return.

Someone there must have a sense of humor.

Or else there is an RFID chip in the card tracking my every move...

2. You do know, of course, that Benchley is about to tell you
to "peddle it walking" don't you?

(Which means, you have MY support and you've started a great thread!)
