I've gotten solitications from the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the past few days…with return envelopes. I've put sharp messages related to Mississippi shenanigans in both envelopes and sent them back.
Will it have impact? Who knows….but if a lot of folks did, it might. I think there's some buyers remorse already about this.
My thoughts? Good for you!

Well.. in order to comment topically I'd need to see the content of those sharp messages.
Don't you think?
Messages from the RINO-ublican party go straight into the Obama can.
You might, but posters who pay attention and know the issue could do their own messages and comment without paint by numbers instrux….
Well, bud..
You asked for my thoughts on some messages I haven’t seen.
If you can’t see the disconnect there, I can’t help you.
not really, I was more asking what people thought a lot of messages sent in fund raising envelopes might do. But again, some around here are contextually challenged.
They need plenty-o’-smokin’ missives sent their way.
When I get those solicitations, I fill out the form, put in Monopoly money, and tell them when they start acting like Republicans again, I’ll send them real money! For some reason, I hardly ever get any solication letters any more! -:)
I got tired of their sending me mail and wanting money, so I saved up quite a few, jammed them into their envelope that they pay for, taped it shut and they got the message and quite sending me mail....that envelope was quite heavy when I got done and it was 100% their own junk...
1. Write your blistering letter.
2. Enclose it in the envelope.
3. Get a largish box -- say 12x12x12 or so. Make sure it's strong.
4. Fill the box with bricks. Tape it shut and reinforce the seams w/packaging tape.
5. On the top of the box, tape the postage-paid envelope containing your letter.
6. Give the box, thus prepared, to the clerk at the post office.
I’m a professional wordsmith so I’m more than capable of working up my own messages, but I wouldn’t mind a peek at what you came up with myself :)
If these were postage-paid envelopes I believe a pound or two of tea-bags would have made the point eloquently.
PS. I had been sending their monthly crap and it didn’t stop them, my last envelope did. They don’t care what you write, but I guess when they have to pay postage, their money, they care...
Oh.
My opinion on that would be "not much".
Folks opening such specific correspondence will be looking for checks, not the associated garbage.
Like when bills come with offers and promotions and such.. dig out the meat and trash the chaff.
But again, some around here are contextually challenged.
True, but you'll learn to better order your thread titles as regarding any queries made I'm sure.
I have never, and never will, donate to any political entity except for a candidate whose views I agree with.
When I receive postage paid envelopes I return them with a short message expressing the above paragraph, a couple a tea bags and a request that they let me know how I can make a negative donation.
Rarely hear back.
If they call on the phone, that can also be fun. I act confused and befuddled, ask lots of questions and try to keep them talking as long as I can, time being money.
I only return fundraising mail received from GOPe organs if they’ve included a postage free (i.e., THEY pay for the postage) return envelope. I never include anything in the return mail with which they could identify me so they won’t stop including postage paid return envelopes in their mailings to me. Anything to bleed those detestable creatures financially.
I’ve notice recently they are more likely to have return envelopes that require me to place a stamp. I guess many others have also been conducting similar bleeding campaigns and collectively we’ve forced them to paying for the return postage.
What a great idea.
The RNC & Co partially got my message. They haven’t stopped sending me donation requests, they just no longer include the prepaid, return postage envelopes :-/
Like I’m going to mail them $$....especially on my dime.
This is called “White Mail” by inside baseball types and yes it does work if they see enough of them.
