Send a goodbye postcard to George Bush? It could say, "good riddance!!"
Please K & R this post if you agree with it.

I'm going to send a postcard to the criminal George Bush, as he leaves the White House after having killed so many Americans and Iraqis, tortured so many people, impoverished so many of us, and left our country as an economic disaster that will take probably a decade or more to fix, and hated by the entire rest of the world.

It only costs a 27 cent stamp to mail a postcard. The postcard will transmit the message not just to the White House, but to everyone in the post office it comes in contact with. If enough are sent, the news media will report it. The White House will be forced to accept it, as it will be addressed there:

President George W. Bush
The White House
Washington, D.C.


Maybe it could say:
"GOODBYE, YOU EVIL A-H!"
or
"GOOD RIDDANCE, YOU WASTE OF OXYGEN!"
or
"AM I GLAD THE GARBAGE IS BEING TAKEN OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!"
or whatever you like.


Here's the USPS info. on mailing postcards:

First-Class Mail® Postcards ($0.27 each) more info about regular sized postcards
Maximum size: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high

First-Class Mail® Large Postcards ($0.42 each) more info about large postcards
More than: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high

17. or a post card in the SHAPE OF A SHOE !
The message would be quickly taken, by everyone handling it, w/o having to read a card.

And no return addy is required.

:hi:

4. Put a picture of a shoe on the front.
AND on the back, write GOOD BYE. That would certainly catch on and send a great message.

12. Just don't put your return address
or phone number on it!
The rat bastards can't trace a post card!
My postcard is going in the mail Monday when I get off work. ;-)

23. It's just free speech. Being on an FBI list for free speech says our country is not free
and we need to do something about that.

14. What's the point of this?
Bush knows he's unpopular and that liberals like us hate him. What do we hope to accomplish with this campaign? I'd rather save the postage for sending postcards to Obama or members of Congress next year to push them not to cave on something we care about.

15. A postage stamp = 42 cents. You're name on some "watch list" forever - PRICELESS...
umm - no thanks...

It's bad enough for INNOCENT persons as it is without exacerbating it...

29. We should mail old shoes to the White House
with a card saying what Muntathar al Zaidi shouted as he threw his shoes at Bush: "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog!"
