REALLY??? Do you have to flood my mailbox with your self-serving garbage?
I get cards from Charlie Geren and Bo French at least three times a week. Not just one...but two or three. And the worst part? I can't do anything to stop it.
Wasteful and useless.
I'm done. :ironchef:

Funny you should say that. One day he came to deliver mail and I said to him "Is there any way I can limit the amount of junk I get from these candidates?"
He shook his head and said "If you figure out how to do it, let me know." :ack:
:rofl::rofl:
poor IC.....
Put return to sender and place it back in the box.
Get a pre approved CC offers and mail the candidates information to them.

If you get one of those that have a "Guaranteed Postage Paid" return envelope.
Start filling them with all the crap you get, and also tape it to a brick in a box for good measure.. :datawiz:
Trust me on this... after they pay for postage on a few bricks they will remove you from their mailing list.. :yesnod:

Well yeah, and one of the nice things here is we are allowed to make choices. One should be to opt-out. Just because we have a better society doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve the way we do things.

Yeah...and they're all idiots too. Where are term limits when you need 'em?

A weird one just went down here. I'm up in my office studying I can see my driveway and road infront of my house. An Audi drives up into my culdasak stops infront of my house a kid gets out and runs up to my door. He wants to sell me on a specific candidate.
I tell him no, he gets back in the car and drives 6 doors down to the next white couple in the neighborhood, gets out and goes to harrass them as well.
They are literally going door to door for just the white people...WTF

I don't know, the more I think about it, I wonder if we haven't been data mined as republicans, as you know we don't register political affiliations when we register to vote.
I early voted today, at our local library. There was one person voting when I got there. The staff said the whole week of early voting had been painfully slow, except Saturday, when they had about 300 people, and thus far, today was a snooze fest.
My complaint is, in Texas we vote for most judges, and I know nothing about the candidates. I don't get literature from them, nothing. I feel bad not voting for some of the down ballot races, but what's the point....I know nothing about any of them.
In any event, Trump got a vote here in Tejas, from me.

I'm hoping early voting will still be open next weekend...I'm seriously contemplating voting for Sanders (in the primary), in hopes to destabilize Billarys charge to the white house.

Don't do that.
If the GOP can't win, you WANT Hillary.
Trust me, if you can't have steak, don't go straight to the turd, try the sawdust first.

Besides being honest, what's the difference between what Bernie wants and what Hillary is truly trying to do?
I received one piece of crap from the Cruz campaign.......you send me this amount and I'll match bullshit. Right in the trash.
I'm so tired of this campaigning dragging on, it borders on the ridiculous.

Your question belies why. You're inferring that Hillary isn't overtly saying what she wants to do, despite wanting to do the things Bernie says he wants to do.
Bernie isn't hiding it. Bernie isn't going to waste his first term campaigning for his second, like Hillary will. Bernie, will just get to work with the hammer and chisel on this country's foundation.

:confused5: That's EXACTLY what billary wants to do too :yesnod: I figure with Bernie out right admitting it, we the sheeple should be able to make the choice...none of this cat and mouse bullshit game that the establishment politicians have been playing. However Bernie has 0 chance on winning the nomination, if Hillary steps out, or gets arrested (please dear God make it so), I think Cuomo or Biden will step in.

Mail no problem, it goes direct into the trash can.( we get free trash/recycle pick up here in my little town) Phone calls on the other hand are the problem. (We live in a no cell zone)
We live out a ways in the boonies a 1/4 mile off of road. Had 1 candidate (for the local town board) to be the only political candidate to ever come to my house.

Well yeah...but it's wasteful. And I should be able to opt out. Problem is they leave this crap with the mail carriers who are instructed to put it in with every delivery.
