I do get some local GOP candidate material, but never anything from the Bigs.

I always save them for her as opposed to other junk mail which goes unopened into the recycle bag.
I tell her that she has some important mail she needs to see right away.
Then she throws it at me.

There's a recycle bag right next to me, under my computer table.

The torn-up remains of that mail rest in there, never to be seen or handled again!

We often get the mail for my republican mother-in-law. Prior to the caucus she would get two or three a day from Haley, ,DeStupid, Drumpf or one of the many PACs out there. It was pretty horrible.

I can bet getting all that political stuff would be horrible. Huge waste of paper and money too!

I get just enough to be amused!

Please check one and return:
$5
$10
$25
$100
Other
(Check other, glue the post paid envelope to a brick and mail it back. Just helping.)

But she also said the most important thing she could get would be my Endorsement!

I've heard about the brick method! Not for me.

I recommend writing "REFUSED - RETURN TO SENDER," just to make sure there's no confusion.

Has been telling me he’s been getting crazy sounding fundraising emails from trump. He is mystified over how they could get his #.

I asked him to save one so I could read it for the craziness value and this afternoon I got to read one. Yeah, looney.

Lists are sold and sold and sold, till it's impossible to tell just where they came from.

How do they have the unmitigated gall to send us this crap? I guess, on the bright side, she wasted some money sending it.

One time I got a big cardboard card in the mail from a very anti-choice local R running for office, and since I like to recycle, I used it to scoop my dog’s poop that day. I know it was childish but it gave me some satisfaction!

Actually, I hadn't thought of that. But what I did do was almost as good: It went into my recycle bag!

I'd like to see that paper get a chance at sending out a real message of hope!
