Someone added my name to the Republican mailing list so this is

what I am doing: Every time I get a piece of literature, I cut it up in pieces and put it in an envelope. I write a note that says I would rather crawl through fire and eat glass that vote for tRump or any Republican.
I put two stamps on it (to help the post office) and send it back to the headquarters in Harrisburg, PA, that sent it to me. I do it hoping whomever opens it is as pissed off as I am when I find that garbage in my mailbox.

the Post Office returned it to me the next day! That is why I have resorted to this method and it gives me much pleasure.

Which included a 2 sided door handle sign, 1 side with photo of tRump pointing like uncle sam.
The sign had gotten bent, and the crease formed at his nose, looking like snot was spewing from his nose. I enjoyed that. Lol

There was also a list of who to vote for in the county and state elections. They included school board candidates, which are supposed to be non partisan! I live in a 60/40 red zone.
That list will serve as my list of who Not to vote for. There are a few non partisan contests.

I also get texts from them, sending links bashing Dem candidates. I send back links bashing the opponent! Then I text stop, and am taken of the list for that number, only to get a similar text from a different number.

If they want to waste their time, money, and energy mailing and texting folks like us, who will not vote for their candidates, that's ok. I also get emails daily that go to my spam folder asking for money, inviting me to attend events as a VIP, offering merchandise like hats and t-shirts, berating me for not responding to their request, invitation or offer. They come from 45, Junior, and others.
I rarely look in my spam folder, but when I do I can't believe how many are there!

Don't know how they got my phone or email information.

I promptly sealed them up empty, wrote ‘fuck Trump’ on the envelope and posted them.

Have received no more.

removing my name/address, and send that back to them. Serves two purposes: costs them money, and reduces my trash a little bit.
