Vince, are you trying to enlighten people who may not vote the way you do,
or preaching to the choir who does vote as you do? I ask this sincerely
so as to know what discussions to stay in or out of in the future. If the
IRS regulation is a lie spun by experts (I heard it on a mainstrem news
program), why not cite the source to prove it is a lie? Wouldn't that be a
more convincing way of enlightening people (if that is your intention)? I
also was initially turned off at the waste of the extra mailing (would be
regardless of political affiliation) but could also find it plausible that
there was some bureaucratic reason for it. Believe it or not, there are
people who don't pay much attention to the news or TV or they are otherwise
distracted or have numerous reasons for throwing out an envelope from the
IRS. ;-) There's also the possibility of people throwing it away and then
complaining to the government that they were sufficiently notified in
advance of the check. Kakki
