Send Mail Back to the Politicians

It’s over! My mailbox can breathe a sigh of relief. My phone may stop ringing. TV advertisements can return to showing the latest soap powder, well, for a time anyway. We tried to make informed decisions, we voted, and now we wait and see the results.

I am curious, now that it’s all over, will either Tom Umberg or Curt Pringle ever write to us? And after receiving four calls on Tuesday from the Umberg camp, and three from the Pringle camp, urging us to vote, I wonder if we’ll ever hear from them again.

Now we’ve got to decide what to do with all the “slate mail” we received over the past weeks. I know, let’s recycle it.

Hey, I’ve got an even better idea. . . . Let’s parcel it all up and send it back where it came from. Maybe then they will know what it’s like to have to dig through piles of unwanted garbage just to find your real mail. If all the people in Orange County who received this political hate mail sent it back, maybe the politicians might get the message it’s not wanted.
