Message I Sent To The Heritage Foundation When I Received Their Packet

Christ knows how, but somehow I got onto the Heritage Foundation's mailing list. (Probably one of my Republican associates playing a practical joke.) Anyhow, I recently received a packet from them asking for a donation, and of course it contained literally about a dozen pages of anti-Obama and anti-Democratic bullshit. So here is what I sent to them, handwritten on a cheap piece of note paper and sent back to them in their postage-paid envelope:

Dear Heritage Foundation,

Thanks very much for the large packet of TeaPublican BS that came with this nice postage-paid envelope. Please keep it coming.
I have used every page to line my cat's litter box. You may rest assured that your packet of BS is performing a great service for me that is entirely worthy of its content.

Sincerely,

----------------

Anytime you get these, send them such notes in their postage-paid envelopes. It's great. RBInMaine Jun 2013 #7

Take that prepaid envelope. Glue it to a brick and mail it to them. They are obligated to pay the postage for that package, which will be measured by weight.

The post office can discard it. If the envelope is filled, however...

Interesting tips here:

They have to ask those they screw to pay for their own screwing?
