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?

but I bet you don't get the Democratic Party's official endorsement packet vol. 1 - 5.
@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
@triangles:
this is really informative, I think..

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

Nowp. I think political junk mail is excluded.
