Make Bush Waste Money Idea
If we all go at least twice a week and request bush's free stickers we can toss them in the trash and make him spend money.

I also think we can flood his "grassroots offrice" with hate mail. :)

1. Waste of time and energy...
...to say nothing of bad karma.

Instead, why not do something positive for your own preferred candidate in particular or the Dems in general twice a week, and flood your friends and relatives and local papers with factual information that gives real hope for positive change?

Don't fall into the trap of playing freeper-style hate games. It will only drag you down and won't accomplish anything worthwhile.

:hi:

I've been doing that too, but this could be fun.

3. Here's one for you.
If you happen to get a donation request for the repigs in the mail, and said request happens to include a BRE (Business Reply Envelope - ie: "Postage Paid") in which to return your donation, simply seal up the BRE with nothing in it and drop it in a postbox. The post office charges the postage to the original mailer for each BRE it delivers back to them (if you throw it in the garbage, the requester pays no postage).

This is a good trick for junk mail of any sort. The people who mail this stuff out know that at best only 3% of the people receiving them will bother returning them. They budget their postage costs accordingly. Imagine if 50% of these BREs came back to them empty and they still had to pay the postage on them! Sweet!

4. I sent them some environmental literature
and told them what to do if they really cared about their grandchildren's future.
