I just got a begging letter in the mail today from something called the Jimmy Carter Institute. I simply can't imagine how on earth I got on their mailing list. I was tempted to send back the postpaid envelope empty, but refrained. Who knows? Maybe 3 or 4% of the money they collect might go to a good cause, and I wouldn't want to deprive anyone. Now if it had been Planned Parenthood, I would have shot it back to them in an instant.

If I get a post paid envelope from anything associated with that a-hole, I am going to drop it in a mailbox taped to a brick. Let them pay first class postage on that!

I always send back the post paid envelope with a fake address, like Jimmy Carter, Plains Georgia. If more people did this we could probably reduce the public debt.

Send them a few dollars, yes I am serious. You will then get on many left wing mailing lists. Each time the lefties send out a letter it will cost them postage, handling, and the fixed overhead of their home office. After a couple of years you will get off their mailing lists and you simply send in another "very minor" contribution and the whole process will start over again. It is about time for me to do this as I am no longer getting begging letters from the lefties. It warms my heart to think that a five dollar contribution will in the end cost them 15 or 20 dollars. :)

I never send back the post paid envelope-empty. I fill it as full as I can with all the rest of my junk mail. Name torn off though. Make it extra postage--it is still paid. I do it with all post paid envelopes. I hate the junk mail. LOL

Don't send it back empty. Grap a few 2 inch washers and fill that sucker up. If it's postpaid that'll cost 'em a couple of bucks.

Hell Handgun Control, Inc took a real big hit that way a few years back. Funny as hell it was.

Took a while to dig up all those washers, too.

Anytime I get garbage like that with a PP envelope I stuff them with other junk mail and send them back. I mean I really cram them full of crap to the point I have to tape them shut.

They will weigh about a pound and cost them around $6.95 for the postage.

You never know, Jimmy C may be interested in the plate of the month club or a pizza coupon?
