I received a letter in the mail from the Republican National Committee the other day. It said “Statement Enclosed” on the outside and appeared to show a balance due.
It was a solicitation from the RNC to donate money.
I have never in my life donated money to the Republican Party, committee or any candidate. I don’t know how they got my name, perhaps they assume that since I’m a NRA member I must be a Republican too?
But did they think that trying to fool me into thinking I owed them money would work?
They truly are the stupid party.
Do like I did with the RNC survey they sent me, that expected a $12 processing fee (or more thanks to my generosity!) along with the data. Stick a tea bag in with a penny and let them figure it out.
If it comes with a pre-postaged / pre-metered envelope, you could do similar to what I do with unsolicited credit card requests (etc). Take off identifying data, rip the remainder at least in half so it can’t be reused. Stuff it in the envelope & mail back to sender. On the pre-metered stuff, the company that sent it doesn’t get charged for the metered postage until it’s used / returned.
Just my little contribution to add to the aggrivation of the businesses I don’t like.
I always mail that crap back just so they LOOSE money on sending me junk mail.
