Use Your Junk Mail To Occupy Wall Street [Video]

Are you part of the 99%? Are you tired of having the needs of the people ignored by politicians and the ultra-wealthy 1% that owns them?

Hmmm... I'll keep this in mind. He raises valid points even though I think the woodshim is taking it a bit far. I'll do this if the opportunity arises.

Back in the early "90s, I received so much junk mail from firms, that I would send the contents of the junk mail back to the sender & I would cut up the paper into little bits, thinking that whoever worked in the mail room, would have this pile of confetti all over the place. It gave me great pleasure. I did not ask for the junk mail-so why should I have to take care of that junk? Have a go at it.

Thanks for posting.

@ Linn K. I agree that the shim might cause the mail room clerks to put them in the garbage, instead of shredding.

I heard of a similar effort years ago, but going to live overseas quite frequently, would be left alone, so forgot.

Anyway, the method I learned, was not to put 'their' solicitation back in the envelope, but use another envelope for theirs and put theirs in a different one.

As someone else said, cut off, or sharpie out your particulars. Or you'll get more stuff.

As an atheist, I am sick of getting burial stuff, or even religious retirement homes and when I write or call them, am sometimes more irate than I need to be! Oh well!
