Dear Rep. Bergman, she wrote. Since you and your colleagues in Congress seem to feel that this is the solution to mass murder, please accept this contribution.
With the short letter, which she posted on her Facebook page, she sent a check to the congressman with the popular refrain instead of a dollar amount.
"I did it because I'm hearing the same arguments after each and every time this happens," Malila explained to Newsweek on Friday. "Each and every news media person says contact your congressman, and Congress doesn't do anything."

This is a fantastic idea. If you still have a checkbook and a stamp to spare. If Congress members started seeing their re-election funds diminish because the check had Thoughts & Prayers in the denomination line it might get their attention.

Great idea though! #ENOUGH

(3,010 posts)brothers and other large donors make thoughts and prayers irrelevant to politicians. I think thoughts and prayers are what they give to the little people because they wish we were all dead.

on this page:
https://www.template.net/design-templates/print/blank-check/
6th down orange [DOWNLOAD] button
download is a zip file [Blank-Check-Template.zip] containing a PDF [Blank Check Template.pdf]
So you need a PDF reader like Foxit, Adobe, maybe others [ocular in linux] that allows "editing"
In reality it saves the info in a special file but reopening the pdf brings up the editor to print.

(410 posts)I personally would not send them anything except a letter with minimum personal info.
So last night I created a totally fake check that is a near replica of a "Harland-Clark blue sheffield design" Wells Fargo check .
Several "jabs" in there, yes, February is altered for Feb-U-Weary, get it "weary" of their "not the right time".
