Put it on a PLATE and then put it on the TABLE
Step 1: Get a paperplate

Step 2: Write your message on it (see sample below)

Step 3: Fold it up and put it in an envelope (just going to cost one 1st class stamp)

Step 4: Mail it to your senator/rep and Pelosi/Reid




Optional: If you attend a march or other gathering - bring along a few paper plates, hand them out and encourage others to PUT IT ON THE PLATE and then PUT IT ON THE TABLE

2. I like it, but why do you have to put it in an envelope?
I think if you just fold it over and write the address right on the paper plate it's something you can mail with a postage stamp

3. I think it costs extra to mail a funky-shaped thing
Even greeting cards can cost extra if they're square instead of rectangular.

4. you can do that too..
the hazard of folding it up is having it jammed and ripped up in the postal machines...

8. You could use one of those padded manila envelopes. That will
be a little bit more in postage but worth the effect. :evilgrin:

6. I will pay the extra for the funky-shaped thing.
It's the war I don't like paying for.

10. While we're at it,
everyone should go to the dollar store and get one of those cheap packages of green plastic soldiers.

We should mail them to * so he can play soldier with them, instead of taking lives, wrecking the military and bankrupting the country.

13. I bought a pack of smaller plates -- like salad size. They fit perfectly
into those padded manila envelopes. Tonight, we decorate for tomorrow we mail. :evilgrin:

17. It's meant to be. Just now came up from the basement, (trying to make order out of chaos)
where I cleaned out a box of old paper plates, wondering whether to toss or not. They are going to Washington in tomorrow's mail . . . one by one.

Assistant: Madam Speaker, we received these plates in the mail with stuff written on them

Pelosi: What do they say?

28. "Stack the Cheneys there, and the Bushes over there."
I think mine will focus on Cheney for now. Lower hanging fruit, maybe.
