About those Obama smear mailers . . .
Especially if you're from PA, but probably all states are basically the same. I got several in the mail today and forgot to look before i went to work, do they have your name and address on them? Or are they go to every house and no address?

2. I had a few sent to me yesterday in Madison, WI
My name and address was on the documents. Additionally, someone who used to live at my home was also sent a few of the documents.

3. has our name/address on it
and only non-repubs seem to be getting them.

neighbors behind us are republican (both voting for obama) haven't received any of these mailers, nor have they gotten the robo-hate calls - neighbor also said other repubs she knows haven't received this garbage either

4. The ones to our house have my husband's
name and our address on them..really ugly stuff too. Makes me wish we had a way to hold them accountable for such trash.

5. I hear you
I was going to drop them off with a little note to the Repub HQ's, but I saw this big ugly McCain sign and turned my car around and impulsively stuck them in their door. I went back and grabbed the mailers, left the note. I didn't want to get in trouble, although i don't think I broke a law or anything, and the note was a pretty respectful set down of old grumpy.

6. Thanks for the responses to my panicky thread
I went back and grabbed them - they actually had my deceiced sister's name on them! She lived with us for a few years before she died of cancer nine years ago. I don't think she was a Repub, but I remember her and her husband railing on Clinton for months after the Lewinsky thing so, maybe she was, but I don't get why they'd be sending hate mail to her.

This election is driving me to distraction. Be over, already!

7. If you get a mailer combat it with an inspirational letter about why you support Obama >
Make a few copies post door to door.

8. Wow, that's a wonderful idea!
I just might do that, although I don't know who's getting them on my street.
