6. ask to be kept on their mailing list
That you cant afford any donation now.... but will soon. It will keep you in their system and the letters will give you plenty of laughs.

4. Send them an IOU
Tell them once the Federal budget is balanced under a GOP Prez/House/Senate you'll contribute the maximum to the GOP.

8. Fill the Envelope with something heavy that way they will have to pay for
the extra weight. The post office will bill them for it.

11. Stuff it full with..
really dirty pennies.

That way at least they can't get you for mail fraud (hey, all the money we have left was in the kid's piggy bank!).

9. Does it have a pre-paid postage return envelope? Tape it to a brick
And drop it in the nearest mail box. That's what Abbie Hoffman would have done.
John
It's your call whether or not to include the expired coupons.

10. Make a donation of two cents on your visa
It will cost them close to a dollar to transact it. Transaction fees are at least a quarter per transaction and in some cases as high as a dollar. Give them your two cents worth. :9
