To be honest with you....if you are going to do something like this to people who make a living on the internet (as long as it's not porn, racial, hate mail etc.) then you had better start watching the mailbox's on the street, and start fineing all the companies that 'kill' trees just so they can send me a bunch of trash for me to throw in the LANDFILLS of this Nation. I bet the U.S.Postal System would be all over you for that, but that's OK for them to make money off the postage of 'junk mail' that actually does a great deal more harm. Why can't people do what I and countless others do....DELETE IT!! No landfills needed, no postage wasted, no mail carrier breaking their back hauling it around, just so the majority of it can be TRASHED. I had a form letter that I was supposed to submit, but I think you guys are smart enough to do what is right, and tell the 'whiners' to grow up and stop wasting the taxpayers money on nonsense. I bet most of them are 'tree huggers', so ask them why they don't picket the Post Office and the companies responsible for killing all the trees. That's my 'two cents' worth, but like pennies that get thrown on the street and trampled because "they're only pennies", so does 'common sense'....my two cents. I've been out of work over 22 months due to plant closing after 27 years service, and I try to make a living on the internet. Last year I made less than I did in 1987, and for a family of FOUR, that's not alot. This year may be worse, but I'm not going to be begging....we'll make it by the Grace of God. But by you passing something like this, it could hurt me and countless others. Maybe we should let Uncle Sam take care of us instead of working. Then there would be LESS TAX'S coming in. Thanks.....
