I'm mailing my elected representatives an empty billfold. Maybe with a note inside that reads "I figured you would look in here...Sorry I'm all tapped out...." Or a teabag.....

Everyone has an old billfold or purse laying around. Maybe we could send a message if they got enough of them in the mail....

Nice sentiment, but I hesitate to waste the money on an envelope and a stamp for most of those losers.

I'd rather send them the BILL for the DEBT THEY incurred!

Why are they above the law? The end of the Roosevelt Ponsi is near!

Most of them would gauge their success by the emptiness of our wallets....IOW, they don’t give a sh*t.

I like it. Send them your water bill, after it's been paid, by you. Send it to remind them. We, as responsible citizens do pay our bills. And the taxpayer should not be responsible for paying for those who are not responsible.

The wallet should not be empty...it should contain copies of “necesity bills” i.e. light, gas etc and ask for a bailout.

I love the teabag - it would probably be reported as “ a suspicious dark substance” sent to Congress, tho.

Anything you physically send to anybody political in DC gets screened for anthrax, so it might not get there for anywhere from six to eight weeks.

"please be aware that to protect mail handlers from anthrax, all congressional mail is being diverted to either Ohio or New Jersey for anthrax screening. This new mail procedure has caused significant delays, with some letters taking months to arrive at our office."

The idea is intriguing, but the ‘letter-opener aides’ will learn to see the empty wallets coming and toss them without opening, much less examining, them.

OH OH...wouldn’t this be fun...put the graphic up on the web and everyone can download them...and put in the name of the politico they want to fire...we could send MILLIONS of PINK SLIPS TO WASHINGTON...For the ones who are up for relection in 2010, we’ll put the date one day after election day! This is cheap, and it could be fun and it will make our point...I’m talking MILLIONS of pink slips coming into Washington....

It should be empty and contain a note that says “cash is depleted, credit cards are all tapped out so please begin charging additional spending on my children's ‘good faith and credit’ before it runs out.”

I think that’s an excellent idea! I’d love to send Boxer, Pelosi, and Feinstein pink slips.
