Send A Brick to Congress

Let your Congressmen know you want a wall built on the Mexican border by sending them a brick to get the project started. This project is really heating up and the leader of the group will be on Fox & Friends Thursday, May 4. The website is http://www.send-a-brick.com/.

This idea is so cool but...

I don't think you have to accept delivery of a package.

Can I send a fence post instead? :)

Too bad we can't send 'em backbones...

At the very least it will convert a bunch of Washington DC mail-carriers into advocates for a wall!!

Ummm... Isn't congress already filled with brick-headed individuals?

If the delivery method is of question try going to Washington and deliver it throught their windows.

Maybe THAT would get their attention !!!!!!

IMHO, I think that may get their attention

This is one of those ideas that sounds great while sitting around the table having morning coffee. Implementation and results are not feasible, though.

First thing that comes to my mind- the money spent irradiating bricks. All congressional packages are irradiated. Then there's the money spent actually disposing of the bricks- because Congress isn't going to just put them on the shelf for display to tourists.

You are right in your evaluation of the politicos in DC. But perhaps they will get the message through their dense heads. If not maybe the bricks will fall on a toe or two giving them a pain.

Darnit. I just put my last brick in my gas tank on the advice of an aggie engineer. He said I'd use less gas.

They did. I have sent two and they were delivered. I tracked them. Doesn't matter who gets them. I sent mine to Frist and Hastert. Cost approx $10 for two bricks.

If our government can waste money on the illegals I don't much care how much this costs them to deal with. Screw 'em--I want to make a point.

LOL! I think any sort of building materials will get the point across. Bag of cement, anyone?

[Snoopers-868th]

We could send them Mexican flags to display in their offices.

[brothers4thID]

Uh, it's YOUR money.

I thought so too at first when this idea was kicked around a week or two ago, but I'm seeing news stories about bricks showing up on congressmen's desks. I think it's a much better attention-grabber than even a well-written letter.

Heard of the star registry? I'm starting an ultra conservative website and offering to sell bricks with your name in honor of your donation of $50 to the fences make good neighbors society.

You can, but they are not cheap.

LOL! I'm having too good a time here today, laughing out loud at my monitor. I'm glad nobody else is home!

That would get the point across just as well!
