Thread: Mail Postcards!!!!

I suggest mailing Postcards to Capital Hill and the White House. Since 911 all the mail has been pushed into special screening. However, postcards are not sealed and they can be visually inspected and processed much faster than and envelope. Yes, every thing you say can be read, by postal employees and government clerks. So What! Also, it only cost 26 cents to mail a postcard. You can mail 10 for $2.60 compared to 10 envelopes for $3.90. I know Emily Post would have a cow about mailing a post card but you know what, a postcard will get the point across cheaper and faster. You can even buy them from the machines at the post office. This is what I am doing with the May 1st mailing to GW.

just think how many people would actually be able to see what's going on

Hey I think I can make some postcards with pics from the protests, in case the Prez hasn't seen them run our flag upside down, under the Mexican flag!

unlike Hillary Clinton, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow --

He sought to highlight the contributions of immigrants to American society, and lamented the harsh — and sometimes deadly — conditions that many people face trying to illegally enter the country.
"One thing we cannot lose sight of is that we're talking about human beings, decent human beings that need to be treated with respect," the president said.

there are a lot of criminals in prison that "lamented the harsh — and sometimes deadly — conditions" to commit their crimes.

It's almost impossible to believe that a burglar could actually sue a homeowner because he was shot or injured while trying to "illegally" enter someone's home, but I think a lot of states have outlawed that practice too.

card stock is pretty cheap and you could make a lot of cards with that. I think the card sizes and postage rates are on the usps.com.

Keep in mind that if you are using an inkjet printer to create your postcards, even the supposedly "run-free" inks WILL run during the harsh treatment of the Postal machinery and sweaty hands of postal carriers. Chances are good that unless you laminate the post card, it may not even arrive at it's destination.

Just a word of caution. After printing a couple and allowing them to dry, take a spray bottle and spray the side with the most print as a test. Rub your fingers across the damp surface. This would be akin to someone sneezing on it. If it smears, smudges or runs, I wouldn't recommend sending them through the mail system without an envelope.

I'm going to see if the photo will transfer decently to some card stock.

Of course, they will say "it's just a radical fringe element that acts badly in our streets". But I want every hand that touches these postcards to be reminded of what's going on. They want us to forget that sight? NO WAY!

Wonder if I would be allowed to hang a few pictures at my desk at work? The illegals already have to look at my American flags every day.

you can also take aerosol hair spray and seal the ink

Maybe I'll try the hairspray, Mamie. I had some Clear Jet aerosol spray to seal some photo notecards but don't know where it is right now.

Self adhesive lamanant if pretty cheap and sold in 8x11 sheets or rolls. No machine required.
