We received a totally unsolicited Ben Carson Campaign Packet in the mail

Complete with bumper sticker and request for a contribution. Fortunately they included a postage paid return envelope for that contribution so I'm going to stuff as much of that packet as I can back into the envelope, include a terse note, and mail it back to them.

I do have a couple of right wing cousins who abhor my politics, so maybe they are responsible for us getting on that list. I can assure you that Carson's campaign will be in no doubt that they are wasting resources.

That's what we do here at my house too. If they send more than one, they all get done that way.

Tape them to the inside of the envelope three on each side for starters so it stays even.
