Donate a 8" block and ship it to DC and you are in.

Do you realize how cool it would be if every person p*ssed off about this sh*t (illegal Aliens/wide open borders) actually shipped a cinderblock to the capitol? just a thought

After some quick and sketchy research....it looks like it would cost around $10.00 to send one brick via USPS. A cinderblock would be cool but expensive.

1000's of bricks showing up in the capitol mailroom would be fricken awesome!

More to come and how you can get in on this great idea!

How does this look like a protest when the flag is being carried in the streets by the illegals? I fly my flag everyday.

[Eagle of Liberty]

me too, but I don't fly one on my car. I just have a flag sticker.

[Responsibility2nd]

Nope. Still blocked.

[Let's Roll]

let's keep this bumped!

This way, it legally becomes a letter that the Postal Service must deliver, and can't(or shouldn't) be tossed along the way by Liberal USPS employees.

You can mail just about anything with properly addressed and affixed postage. People have mailed watermelons (direct marketing experiment I heard about).

This is a great idea! I'm in for sure.

[technochick99]

Yes, because conservatives are awesome at activism! ROTFL!!!

Just because people don't protest in the streets doesn't mean they will do nothing.

[citizen]

Trigger locks don't equate with building a wall. Maybe for 2nd Amendment issues.

#1, I didn't say it didn't.
#2, around here unfortunately that's pretty much what it means.

[upchuck]

Kinda like this?

LOL!

[Let's Roll]

Could you ask the mods to put this in Activism?

This need the attention.

[citizen]

I love this idea, but wonder if it WILL have an effect. If Limbaugh or O'Reilly, or someone of that nature, got behind the idea, they could stir up the publicity that is needed to keep it from being ignored.

Right, once this made the news, even the MSM couldn't ignore this, DRUDGE, FNC, everybody would do their own story, complete with pics of umpteen thousands of bricks and interviews with the recipients.

Any story about the bricks being diverted will only fuel the publicity. And anger.

[technochick99]

I wasn't directly quoting you. I am just referring to the point you are making (and have been making for some time) in general. It's a shame you have fallen into naysaying. I know the lack of action can be disheartening, but negativity does no good. It comes across as bitter.

From a personal perspective, I look at effort versus return. It is rare that I think 'street activity' is worth it. If anything, money speaks louder.

[Coop]

It comes across as bitter.

Good. Then I'm not miscommunicating.

[RandallFlagg]

Let the good guys in the media (Rush, Hannity, FoxNews, etc.) know what you're doing if you send them. The message won't work without public knowledge of it.

[gun_supporter]

I'm in.

"significance of the Commie holiday May Day"

Actually May Day started long before the Communists appropriated it.

[tertiary01]

They co-opted it I am well aware, but let the stigma stand.

I got to the sendabrick site using the following address. Found the addy among the messages at ARFCOM.

Since I cannot be at your office, please throw the enclosed brick through your window for me. Thanks!

Good for an after lunch laugh!
