Junius you are so right! Some of us have done the brick thing already. All of us have done the faxes, emails, letters, phone calls. Time to send photos to our politicians.

Photos of rallies, car accidents involving illegals, neighborhood impact and almost anything you can think of that make a strong visual statement. I would comb through other sites and submit the photos that show what America has become. Maybe contrast it with "how it used to be". Photos of the illegals waving their fascist flags, of confrontations, of hate filled posters, etc.

A photo (easily printed with your printer) included with your letter, or even pasted into the letter itself, makes a more powerful statement. A personal photo of your neighborhood serves as a way to document your situation while asking for a response.

While not all of us can send bricks, most of us can send photos. We can even put text on the photos.

I like the idea!

You know if these were Bush's neighbors in Crawford. He would move or have them kicked out!!!!!!!! Is the piece of property next to him for sale? I would buy an acre or two and let a bunch of illegals squat on it. I would love for him to drive past them every time he went on vacation. He just thought the Cyndi Sheehan encampment was offensive and unsightly.

I think they turn a blind eye to the situation. I'm actually going to get on a city bus and ride through the bravario (sp?) and submit videos to YouTube. I need to get on the bus and go!!!!!!!!

You should be able to print them on card stock(heavy weight paper), attach a 24 cent stamp and mail it.
It only cost 24 cents to mail a postcard!!!! Use the little brown butterfly stamps.

Get going, Dixie,

Let us know when you get it posted!

Every now and then I have a pipe dream.

Here are the USPS standards for postcards. We can make our own!!!!

Print the picture on one side, address and stamp it on the other.

Or Print the picture on one side,
and address it on a Vertically divided card.

1. The address side of the card must be divided into a right portion and a left portion, with or without a vertical rule. The left portion is the message area.

2. The delivery address, postage, and any USPS marking or endorsement must appear in the right portion. The right portion must be at least 2-1/8 inches wide (measured from the right edge of the card, top to bottom inclusive).

1.2 Physical Standards for Cards Claimed at Card Rates
1.2.1 Postcard Dimensions
Each card (each stamped card or postcard or each half of a double stamped card or postcard) claimed at a card rate must be:

a. Rectangular.

b. Not less than 3-1/2 inches high, 5 inches long, and 0.007 inch thick.

c. Not more than 4-1/4 inches high, or more than 6 inches long, or greater than 0.016 inch thick.

1.2.2 Other Cards
A card that does not meet the applicable standards in 1.2 must not bear the words "Postcard" or "Double Postcard."

1.2.3 Paper or Cardstock
A card must be of uniform thickness and made of unfolded and uncreased paper or cardstock of approximately the quality and weight of a stamped card (i.e., a card available from the USPS). A card must be formed either of one piece of paper or cardstock or of two pieces of paper permanently and uniformly bonded together. The stock used for a card may be of any color or surface that permits the legible printing of the address, postmark, and any required markings.

1.2.4 Acceptable Attachments
A card may bear an attachment that is:

a. A paper label, such as a wafer seal or decal affixed with permanent adhesive to the back side of the card, or within the message area on the address side (see 1.2.6), or to the left of the address block.

b. A label affixed with permanent adhesive for showing the delivery or return address.

c. A small reusable seal or decal prepared with pressure-sensitive and nonremovable adhesive that is intended to be removed from the first half of a double card and applied to the reply half.

1.2.5 Unacceptable Attachment
A card may not bear an attachment that is:

a. Other than paper.

b. Not totally adhered to the card surface.

c. An encumbrance to postal processing.

1.2.6 Address Side of Cards
The address side of a card is the side bearing the delivery address and postage. The address side may be formatted to contain a message area. Cards that do not contain a message area on the address side are subject to the applicable standards for the rate claimed. For the purposes of 1.2, miscellaneous graphics or printing, such as symbols, logos, or characters, that appear on the address side of cards not containing a message area are generally acceptable provided the items are not intended to convey a message. Cards claimed at the Presorted or automation card rates that contain a message area on the address side must be divided vertically or horizontally and meet the following additional standards, as applicable:

Hi everyone. Long time lurker - this is my first post.

I actually did this. I sent a letter and pictures of Spanish only language at a used car lot, the Mexican flag flying in front of the American flag at a business, things like that, juxtaposed with pictures of American flags and crosses that my city puts up every Memorial Day, with the names of soldiers who served and gave their lives for this country. I said in my letter that I don't think these pictures reflect what these men served and died for.

I love this site. Keep up the great fight!

Welcome American lurker Glad you decided to post.

Did you get any response from the reps you sent photos to?

Hi! No - no response yet. But, my Congressman is John Linder and he is definitely on the no amnesty side. I just mailed the letter and photo's last week.

Thanks for the welcome!
