Oh, BOY. McCain sent my family a PRE-PAID FEDEX ENVELOPE and asked us for money. I'm not sending him a check, but I DO want to send him something. WHAT DO I PUT IN THE ENVELOPE?!?!

I'd say send him two pennies, so his campaign loses money not only on the fed ex return envelope but also on paying a staffer to calculate a 2 cent deposit. The problem with that is that you will then end up on their mailing list and be bombarded with mailing until november.
an autographed picture of you in an obama tshirt, giving him the finger
@Machined - I love you and want to have your babies now...so we can kill them.
(please tell me you saw the baby killing convo about us wacky liberals)
I could send him money from Botswana. I have some ten thebe coins... worth about 1.07 cents, approximately.
I like the idea of glitter, except John McCain himself will obviously not be opening it.
They're paying for the postage, so I say pick the heaviest thing you can fit in the envelope! If they end up paying $5.00 in postage so that you can donate half a brick to them, we all win!
(Whatever you choose though, I agree, fill all the remaining spaces with glitter)
My dad has done the brick thing. He's a well-known Democratic party official, and they really should know better.
Glitter is great though because it forces people to deal with the consequences of their actions for many years to come.
Send 0.01 Euro coins, so they appreciate the declining value of the dollar.
You need to wrap the brick in something though, like a copy of some Keating Five documents.
Bahahaha. I really love the creativity you guys are demonstrating here tonight.
Just send a whole damn ham sandwich with a note that reads, "If McCain is so poor that he's begging Obama supporters for money, he probably needs this sandwich more than I do."
OH, or send sunscreen. Isn't he, like, festering in skin cancer?
A marriage proposal. Let him know that Republicans who can't pull themselves up by their own bootstraps make you HOT, and that you want to have his babies.
Birth control pills and condoms. You know, to help with his campaign's obvious issues listening to their own abstinence-only message.
And yes, lots and lots of glitter.
Actually, I like Paully's idea. Send in some condoms with a note asking them to pass them on the Bristol.
somebody needs to tell Obama that his backers are wealthy, because his donation forms begin at $15 rather than $100.
And in addition to condoms, you need to make and send an LOL Bristol with the caption "Abstinence: Ur doin it rong"
the glitter idea is a particularly naughty one because who ever opens that is going to have a helluva mess to clean up.
i say combine machined's idea with the glitter, plus maybe a few weighty objects to waste postage.
or: cat poo.
I really like the 2 cents, but you need to put in a laundry list of all the problems you have with his platform along with it. With glitter.
Oooh…a brick made of glitter. Does such a thing exist?
In any case, whatever you mail should be sent the day after the election.
no, put in a twenty dollar bill or two.
then go to the bank and report their serial numbers as stolen.
Glitter...while awesome in concept just means you are practicing McCain's version of reality: making a mess that someone else will have to clean up.
Just seal the envelope and send it back. Empty.
By sending something heavy, like a brick, wouldn't you just be contributing to the idiocy that is too much spending on campaigning? Rather you should type up a letter about how you refuse to send a brick because you will not participate in the rising costs of campaign funding. Or better yet just email a couple of people in the McCain camp telling them why you refuse to even make them pay for postage altogether.
Write him a rather involved letter about how you would LOVE to donate money, but you're saving up for an abortion and can't possibly spare any money at this time.
Better late than never....
a receipt for a FedEx express shipment to show how much money he wasted on each one of those things.

He asked for “EMERGENCY CAMPAIGN FUNDING” up to $5,000 so that he could beat “the Obama Democrats and their wealthy liberal backers.”
