They've got a 39 cent postage stamp (approved & licensed by the US Postal Service!) and are encouraging everyone to use it to send in their tax returns. I can't cuz I'm in Rome, but you guys can!

Also interesting from their FAQ:

Q: Is the stamp really legal?
A: Yes, the stamp is US Postal Service approved and licensed. Totally legal. The postal service has a new program where you can design your own stamp — and we have. Call it another victory for freedom of expression.

This is an idea for many groups. (Perhaps I'm behind on this but it is news to me)

2. eh, no one ever actually looks at them

it'd be better to use the stamp to send correspondence to congressfolk, humans might actually see those envelopes...

3. tax returns just a start

Also from their faq:

Q: Will people use them?
A: Oh, yeah, they are already. It's a new and exciting kind of political expression. Every time you mail a letter or bill, you can let people know where you stand. Let 'em know you want the troops home now. They're perfect for mailing your elected officials or sending in your tax returns.
