I'm sending a .01 Check to all those "Health Orgs"

[Dude]

Hey all:

I've watched, and listened to all the organizations, supposedly with our health in mind, get quoted as saying things like - "We don't know what's in an electronic cigarette", "they haven't been tested", "we think they're being marketed to kids", blah blah blah.....you've heard the lines.

Well, I'm going to send them ALL (or at least every one I can find), a "contributution" check for .01 cent .....one penny...., along with a letter to let them know my displeasure with their stance.

I figure if nothing else, the check will COST them more money to deposit than they're receiving, the letter MAY get read, and I MAY get on their mailing list, so I can be reminded to let them know how displeased I am with their stance every time they send me someting, or call for a contribution.


My text got all big....not sure what's up with that....

wow! what a fantastic idea.

Dude! What a great thing for a bunch of us to do! I'd give up some checks to do it!

Why don't you post who all you sent it to? We can bombard them them with our disapproval checks.

Actually they should be for $.02 lol

Nite I was thinking the same thing...But if we all do it, they will cash them and end up with alot of money....Great idea though

I think the bank charges on those .02 checks will be too much of an annoyance to actually cash. Besides, it would take 50 .02 checks to make a dollar. Just think of the words we could possibly relate in 50 letters for a dollar??? A low price to pay to relay a valuable message.

 

[Drewsworld]

Yes I guess your right...Lets do it...Im game

We need to compile a list of organizations. Also get Dude to post back on who he sent checks to.

I honestly think it's a great idea!

 

[lowdown70]

Yeah a list of organizations is a good place to start.
Big Lebowski FTW!!

 

[Dude]

I'm compiling the list over the next few days. I like the .02 cent idea better also !

Send them checks for .005 made out for half a cent. then they can't cash them at all. You incorporate into the letter they don't even have a common cent
