I hate election season--over the last two months I've recycled about 4 pounds of propaganda. Does anyone have tips on how I can remove myself from political solicitation/mailing lists?

@Jesse: If I don't register my affiliation, I can't vote in their primaries, or at least that is my understanding.

i heard somewhere that there is a petition to create a do not mail registry the way they have a do not call registry, but i don't think there is anything in effect today.

@triangles: At least in Georgia, you do not have to be registered to vote in that primary. I know this because I regularly vote in the dem primaries so I can kick out who I don't like... and I'm a registered libertarian... but mostly vote republican. :P

I am registered as independent and I don't get any junk mail, other than the sample ballots and that kind of thing.

Thanks, all!

@electricbathduck: I've definitely signed up for both DNC and DNM lists, and it has indeed cut down on my junk mail. Whenever I get credit card or donation solicitations from organizations that aren't ones to whom I usually donate, I send them a letter telling them to remove me from their mailing lists (sent in their own prepaid postage envelopes).

i should start putting flour in their prepaid envelopes and returning them causing anthrax scares and lost productivity.

@ebd: Should, yes. The question is will you. :P

om nom nom said, (96 days ago)

why not? i'll even fill out the applications with the names and addresses of people i hate.
