junk, part 2

In the post before this one, I mentioned the stack of fliers that we had received for the elections. In Illinois we had an early primary - in February. But, because our local congressman stepped down early, we were so lucky that we got to have a special election in March. Not one, but two elections. How could we be so lucky?

With this election, it was narrowed down to two candidates, and we received only 38 fliers, as compared to the fifty-whatever we got the first time around. Upon closer look, it was really only 19 fliers, but because there are two registered voters, we got two of everything.

Seriously folks - use some of your money and buy the program that figures out that there are multiple people at one address. You'll more than make up what you spend on the software by saving money on postage. Plus, the annoyance level in homes will decrease, possibly giving people a better attitude towards campaigning in general.

Just a thought.
