I got a Bush* fundraising letter. What should I send back?

[Renew Deal]

There is a pre-paid envelope. What should I send these assholes?

[Wickerman]

1. blood and

turnips.

[The Zanti Regent]

16. Monopoly money.

Fits in with their Nazi ideology

[EstimatedProphet]

2. You might tear it into pieces

and send them back.

[Renew Deal]

5. Good idea

I will tear up the picture and send it back. They say I am a grassroots charter member. Hey Bush, FUCK YOU.

[Jane Austin]

12. I got one, too

Or actually, my deceased father did.

I thought I would write "Good Luck" or "Thanks for the picture!" on it and send it back to them.

That way, maybe they'll think I just forgot to enclose the money and they'll keep me on their list, wasting their money every time they send another mailing.

Hey, I think I'll send Kerry some money every time the Rethugs send my father a solicitation. :))

[fearnobush]

26. Add a heavy stone to it.

then send it back.

[adadem]

36. I love that idea n/t

[radfringe]

43. tear it all up into tiny pieces and mail it back is good

if you want to be a real :stinker: - throw in a slice of baloney that has been sitting around and molding for a few days

:evilgrin:

any "junk" mail that we receive and comes with a pre-paid-stamped-envelope gets mailed back to the sender in tiny pieces (no baloney, although once one of my dogs did "pee" on the floor, mail to be sent fell into it and we sent it anyways)

[Goldom]

3. a peice of sheet metal

heavy, will cost them more.

[Renew Deal]

7. lol

I like it.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

Actually, I used to do that

I worked at a newspaper when they still used hot type (now that's dating myself) and I'd get a thick piece of lead the size of the envelope and return it in the prepaid envelope.

And I always mail the prepaid subscription cards that cascade from magazines -- unfilled, of course.

[El Supremo]

4. An invoice for your unemployment.

[Renew Deal]

6. That's also a great idea.

[radfringe]

45. enclose a note

that says:

"To whom it may concern:
I would love to donate to the GOP, however I have been laid-off for months due to my job being outsourced out of the country, unemployment benefits ran out and I have been unable to find a job. president Bush keeps saying that the economy is getting better - please tell me where it is getting better so I can move there to find a job.

I can no longer pay for my health insurance and had to cancel that in order to pay for basic necessities like food and heating fuel.

My prescription drugs cost more than I can afford - I'd buy them from Canada and that would save me some money which would allow me to donate - however you keep telling me that such drugs are unsafe.

I had previously renovated my basement to include a "terror-safe" room, it is filled with plastic sheeting and duct tape. I am considering charging a small fee to my neighbors for use of that room in the event of a terror alert - with the frequency of alerts and warnings this should provide me with a small income and I will be able to donate. What do you think is a reasonable "terror fee"?

[Kathleen04]

8. Alot of people here on DU have received mail from them

Nice to see they're wasting their 200 million sending letters to everyone and their brother. :evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

9. I think they are hitting all of the dems list.

They must be sending to everyone who has donated in the last few years.

[rasputin1952]

10. Now I can really look forward to going to the PO tomorrow!

I sure hope I get one!

They sent a picture? Can you scan it? LOL

I would send bush a brick and a string; tell him it is a "male enhancement tool".

:bounce:

[Jane Austin]

18. The picture

The picture in my father's packet was of George and Laura on the White House lawn.

They were dressed like they were on their way to WalMart.

And you KNOW they shop there a lot! :evilgrin:

[rasputin1952]

21. HA-HA...

I HAVE to see that pic!

Bet he's wearing $500 shoes with the Wal-Mart duds!

:)

[Crunchy Frog]

39. How about draw a Hitler mustache

on Bush in the pic and send it back like that.:evilgrin:

[MidwestTransplant]

11. I always send them back with a note

saying that I no longer support the President. That way it seem sincere and they think they lost a voter.

[For PaisAn]

20. That's the best reply

It'll really irk them that they lost a supporter/voter. Make them squirm.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. How about a used sheet of toilet paper?

Or wipe your ass with the donation sheet and send it back.

[grytpype]

14. Bodily wastes.

[LiberalBushFan]

15. as discussed on the Bartcop page

donate one dollar... less than the processing cost

[DyedNTheWoolDemocrat]

30. I'd send a penny

[lastknowngood]

17. send a check for 1.00 it costs about 13.00 to process a check

via the campaign so you take 12.00 from him and be sure to use the SASE so he also pays postage.

[Jane Austin]

22. Does it really?

Maybe our business should stop accepting checks!

Where did you learn this?

[mobuto]

19. A Brick (seriously)

My understanding is that the Campaign is obligated to pay postage on the mail, whatever the weight. So strap the envelope to a brick, and they should be forced to pay at least a small portion of their $150 mil.

[Sparkly]

24. With an ABB bumpersticker attached

n/t

[Jane Austin]

28. Snicker

n/t

[fearnobush]

23. Add some colorful anti-Bush logos

then insert a very heavy object in it and send it back. They have to pay the return to sender fee.

[Peachhead22]

25. I'd send 'em...

...a picture of my naked ass with lips drawn in lipstick on my (lower) right cheek. :)

[dontstopthere]

27. i always send them fake dollars that i made.

they have a middle finger on the back.

the GOP always thanks me for my continuing support, AND i got a special x-mas card from Bush this past year. God bless America.

[Jane Austin]

29. Gosh.

Aren't you afraid that crowd will nail you for counterfeiting?

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

32. It's ok

Bush probably cant tell the difference :evilgrin:

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

52. That's for certain.

[DieboldMustDie]

31. How about some white flour or baking soda?

That wouldn't be illegal, would it? :evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

33. lol

Tht would be funny, but i'm not that crazy.

[ShaneGR]

34. MAIL IT BACK, it costs them money.... here's what to put inside

An IOU, say when he creates one job you'll send him 50 cents.

[VOX]

46. Exactly. At least mail back an empty envelope, it gets charged to account

That's the *least* you can do!

:evilgrin:

[DjTj]

35. A check made out to "John Kerry for President" (nt)

[arewethereyet]

37. a brick

[Crunchy Frog]

38. I always said that I would send

monopoly money if I ever got one of those fundraising letters, although it looks like that's already been suggested.

A woman who was at my parents house for Thanksgiving got one and sent it back with a note saying that she thought Bush was the worst president in all of American history.

A read an account by someone on the Clark blog by a mother whose son had been sent to Iraq. She sent a picture of the son and said she'd already made her contribution.

I have also seen the suggestion of sending a check for a few cents. Apparently it costs more to process the check than the few cents that it's for so it actually costs the campaign money as well as being a nice insult.

That's a few ideas, I'm sure you'll hear alot more.

Let us know what you decide.:)

[lams712]

40. I got one w/ a picture of George & Laura......

...I sent it back with the words "Liar", "Thief", and "Draft-Dodger" (among other things) and I also demanded that they remove me from their mailing list.

[zulchzulu]

41. Print this out and stick in envelope with some chicken bones

[DemPoliticalJunkie]

42. Is it possible to seal wrap

a fart?

[CoupdEtat2000]

44. How did that happen?

I get mail and phone calls from every Democratic cause known to mankind, but never from a Republican cause.

How did you get a fundraising letter from Bush??

I think I would bathe.

[in_cog_ni_to]

50. and sterilize my mailbox......call in HazMat. n/t

[jumptheshadow]

47. Send them back an obituary

Of a service person who has died in Iraq.

(I'm just not feeling humorous about these guys right now, although you've accumulated a good list of suggestions.)

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. Do you have a baby who makes dirty diapers?

Enclose one in the envelope if you do. :evilgrin:

[DyedNTheWoolDemocrat]

49. Blood and oil

[Kahuna]

51. a picture of John Kerry.

nt

[Lisa0825]

53. PRETZELS!!!!!
