Charles Schumer needs my help !

There is a saying in NY, the quickest way to get killed is to get between Chuck Schumer and a TV Camera.

I would send the envelope back with the donation form indicating a $1,000 donation but in clude no check. When they resend the postage paid envelope send it back again with the same missing check. Continue until they stop.
 
Just fill the envelope with as much junk mail as you can fit. He was requesting donations, and that's yours. While a single envelope won't break them, a million would tie them up for days, and would cost them First-Class postage for each. :) :) :) :)
 
Send some white powdery sugar and watch the Noo Gawkers run in terror :eek:...ohh wait ya already sent it, damn!!

That's what I figured too. I did give some suggestions also. I'm just insulted that I even got a plea from this jerk. I knew that is thread would bring out the best in us.

That isn't just juvenile, it's stupid and illegal. While it is perfectly fine to disagree with someone, hey it's even fun to mess with their mail begging for money, it isn't right to suggest illegal behavior. It is no different than mailing a death threat.

Dude, lighten up, it`s just a joke :rolleyes:

Since it's a postage paid envelope, tape it to a brick or a box containing a cinder block and mail it back to him. They pay for the weight...if you know a lot more people get them all to do the same.
 
Chuck should invite Hillary and Teddy to Manhattan for a few Manhattans and then Teddy could drive them over the bridge to Brooklyn for dinner.Aside from that the NRA membership sounds like the best idea.
 
Sending white powder won't be such a funny joke when the Feds show up at your door. Seems senators have some influence...
Mailing a brick is juevenile and won't work either. Besides, if it did, the gun grabbers would just do it to pro second amendment groups and people.

Can I mail a brick back to a junk-mail firm using the business reply envelope?

10-Aug-1984

Dear Cecil:

I read a lot of my "junk mail" with interest, so I'm not trying to end it all. But there are some junk mailers that really annoy me enough to make me want to make them pay, and pay, and pay. What's the best way to do this? The easy way, of course, is to send back their reply envelope ("no postage necessary if mailed in the United States") with no signature, address, etc., which makes them pay the business reply postage. But I keep wishing there was a better way. What if I stuff all the junk material that came with the mailing into the reply envelope, so that it weighs more than will go for the standard 20-cent rate? What if I enclose a sheet of scrap iron, or paste the envelope cover onto a brick? Surely there must be a legal method to make some of these villains think twice before they buy just any mailing list. --Winfield S., Chicago

Cecil replies:

Obviously, Winfield, you're a person who is consumed with cunning and wickedness. In short, you are my kinda guy. Come on over sometime and I'll buy you a brew. Unfortunately, your bricks-for-business scheme, admirable though it is in theory, won't work in practice. According to rule 917.243(b) in the Domestic Mail Manual, when a business reply card is "improperly used as a label"--e.g., when it's affixed to a brick--the item so labeled may be treated as "waste." That means the post office can heave it into the trash without further ado.

Once upon a time, they tell me, things were different. Years ago, it seems, postal regulations required that all business reply mail be delivered, whether the cards were affixed to bricks, 2x4s, or hand grenades. Furthermore, the recipient was required to pay full first-class postage (a good buck, in the case of a brick) plus 18 cents handling per piece. However, the direct-mail firms usually worked out a deal with the local postmaster whereby unwanted building materials and whatnot (believe it or not, Win, you're not the first person to think of this) somehow became "lost" (heh-heh), getting the mailing firm off the hook.

The current regulation makes it unnecessary to resort to this subterfuge. But most people don't realize the mailing firms won't get stuck with the tab, so a fair amount of oddball junk still finds its way into the nation's mailboxes. The postal service regards this as a major pain in the neck, and therefore I have been implored to convey to the Teeming Millions the following message: putting bricks in the mail could bring American civilization to its knees. (That's the impression I came away with, anyway.) Also you might be charged with "abuse of the mails."

The postal service suggests the following course of action instead: write the offending mailer and respectfully request that the SOB take you off his mailing list. If that doesn't work, write to the Mail Preference Service of the Direct Marketing Association, 6 East 43rd St., New York NY 10017, and tell them you don't want to get any more unsolicited (i.e., junk) mail. Every three months the DMA makes up a computer tape that they send around to the major mailing-list companies with all the people who want their names deleted. The drawbacks here are that you can't be selective, you can't do anything about local small-time operators, and if you ever subscribe to another magazine in your life (or, for that matter, buy anything through the mail), your name goes back into circulation.

Incidentally, Win, of the 161,000 people who wrote to the DMA last year, 116,000 wanted more junk mail. They were sent a booklet entitled "How To Get More Interesting Mail" (as God is my witness, I am not making this up), which tells you various key catalogs that you can send for to guarantee you'll be deluged with stuff. Just in case you have a change of heart.

I know other things that I would like to stuff into the envelopes (with gloves on), but I fear for the poor mailman.
 
Send him this:What part of : "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ", do YOU not understand?

It's all a matter of degree.

So a wealthy man sees a pretty girl and approaches her "Hi there. I was wondering if you would consider a single night of passion with me for a sum of ten million dollars? Frankly, the money means nothing to me and I'd never notice it"
She looks him over (he's not an unattractive man) and replies "If money is no object, how about for $20 million?"
His quick reply was "How about an hour for 5 dollars?"
"$5 dollars? I'm not a whore"
"Frankly, my dear, we already determined that earlier, now we're just negotiating"

Each and every day, our right to bear arms is infringed to some degree:

You have a felony? Sorry about that, you can't buy a gun.

You signed up with the military? Sorry, you can't pick and choose which gun you take into battle.

You can't afford a gun? Sorry, you won't be provided one.

You even have a ccw, but want to carry a gun into a courtroom? Nope, too bad.

You want to shoot at targets in your backyard? Within city limits? Are you crazy?!? But what if I put a silencer on my pistol? Yeah, that's not gonna fly at all.

These are all infringements on our right to bear arms. Schumer wants to add more. While I don't disagree with the intent of your statement, I do feel it is far too black and white and if presented as an argument would fall on deaf ears. However, since you do feel that the 2nd amendment is absolutely, obviously clear, how do you feel about the abridgment of your rights as I mentioned above?
 
SecDef,
I couldn't agree with you more. I know that it was tongue in cheek, but the truth of the matter is that I was so upset about even being on this tyrants mailing list that I just wanted to vent. This place seemed to be the best venue. Everything you mentioned is EXACTLY how I feel. If you took my message in the wrong content, I apologize. For me personally, that letter asking ME by name for a donation was an insult. Yours in Freedom. gesshooo
