LOOK, I know this isn't technically BREAKING NEWS and I hope the moderators will see that being placed here, we can communicate and support this idea of urgency.
Rush just suggested that we, "God Fearing Freedom Loving Americans" should stimulate the economy by sending a FED EX and or UPS package to the "Fence Sitting Democrats" on Saturday.
WE SHOULD! However to get hundreds of TRUCKS to descend on DC Saturday we have to do the following.
Package the letter in a smallish BOX.
The box will weigh nothing however it will occupy space in the truck.
It will require more trucks to deliver small boxes than "flats" of letters/envelopes.
Package in the BOX a letter that states "VOTE NO!"
We can stimulate business for Private Mail, storm DC with Trucks, and GET OUR POINT ACROSS.
I hope that this idea, rains across America...
Free Republic and Rush can wake up America!
COME AND TAKE IT!
Addresses, we need addresses.
He also suggested Carbonite, LifeLock & Sleep number beds.
I believe... box = added screening/more security=further delayed.
Write Your Representative

sorry but all mail is scaned and irradiated before getting to the house.
I don’t think fed ex is any different.
Don’t send it USPS.
Not if it's priority mail.
Somebody update me, but I believe that physical mail and packages are delivered to a security screening facility well away from the capitol and much delayed before any delivery to the House or Senate.
Except all packages to the Capitol are redirected to a mail screening facility in Virginia to be scanned first. They may not get the package until a week after they vote (or have been deemed to have voted).
COME AND TAKE IT!
Or: "I Deem this to be paid."
What type of delivery? Saturday delivery with UPS or Fed Ex? Send it to? Pelosi’s office?
Dear Friends: Due to heightened security all mail (USPS, Fed Ex, UPS, etc) takes 10 -14 days to reach my Washington D.C. office.
In addition, all mail is opened and screened before reaching my Washington D.C. office.
Hearing from you is important to me. Due to delays in service to my Washington office, please continue to send correspondence to either my Lakewood Congressional office or Parma Congressional office.
Tax return and the message should read: Taxes deemed to be paid!
Can we send the bill to Rush?
Post cards, dude, post cards.
True, but wouldn’t they at least get word that millions of letters/packages have arrived?
You are correct. Another consideration is that, although the boxes might weigh next to nothing, FEDEX and UPS can also use “DIM Weight” to determine the cost of sending a package. This is done by computing the volume (length x width x height) of the box and using that figure charges. They do this sepcifically to avoid having to dedicate haul assets to move large amounts of air for little revenue.
