Introduction
|
||
------------
|
||
If you've ever paid 29 Cents to mail a letter, you've been wasting your
|
||
money. In a recession year such as this one, especially, it's important not
|
||
to let your hard earned dollars (and cents) go to another beauracracy.
|
||
Twenty Nine Cents is not an aweful lot to save, but if you send ten
|
||
letters a week, you could save up to $150. If you send only 8 (The national
|
||
average) You could save $120, and so on. This file will describe the four
|
||
methods I know of for avoiding or greatly reducing postage fees. Be counted
|
||
and count your savings!

All us Americans know that sometimes blind people can be discriminated
|
||
against. The government understands this too, and since mailing packages can
|
||
be expensive, the government has decided to allow blind people to send their
|
||
mail for free. "How Generous of Them!" You think. Wrong! They're paying
|
||
for it with your tax money! You pay your taxes, why shouldn't you be able
|
||
to send your packages free too? Well, now you can. Here's how to do it.
|
||
|
||
Address your envelope like you normally would, but in the corner where
|
||
you would normally put the stamp, write in neat print "FREE MATTER FOR THE
|
||
BLIND." Now drop your package in one of those blue mailboxes you'll find
|
||
on any street corner. It really works.
|
||
|
||
The government isn't being that nice, though. Packages stamped "FREE
|
||
MATTER FOR THE BLIND" are sent at library rate, which is below Third Class!
|
||
To send a letter locally will take anywhere from two to five days, national-
|
||
ly will take considerably longer.
|
||
|
||
This is what your letter should look like:

|

|
||
This method is kind of obvious, but in my experience, it has worked.
|
||
However, it won't work if you're trying to send letters nationally, it'll
|
||
only work if the two addresses share the same post office. Write your
|
||
letter, and put it in the envelope. Now, instead of writing your name in
|
||
the return address spot, write your name in the addressee spot, on the
|
||
center of the page. Write the addressee's name in the return address spot.
|
||
Now drop it in the mailbox without any postage. Guess what's going
|
||
to happen. The letter will be returned to the sender who, in this case,
|
||
seems to be the addressee.
|
||
|
||
Here's what your letter should look like:

|

|
||
Both of the above methods are slow, but if you'd like to send your mail
|
||
at normal first class rates, here's a way to do it. This way doesn't save
|
||
you money, though, unless the recipient agrees to give.
|
||
|
||
Before sending your letter, coat the front side of the stamps with glue
|
||
(Elmer's works fine.) It's best to use a stiff bristled brush dipped in the
|
||
glue to coat the stamps with. It will take about twenty minutes to dry.
|
||
Once the stamps have dried, stick them on your letter and mail it. The glue
|
||
has created a coating that can not be seen by the eye, but will protect the
|
||
stamps from being destroyed by the cancellation mark. When the letter
|
||
arrives at it's destination, the recipient can remove the coating with water,
|
||
take the stamps off the envelope, and reuse the stamps.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This is a diagram of what your letter should look like. It'd look just like
|
||
a normal letter, you can see.. But the 29 Cent stamp must be coated with
|
||
glue.

|

|
||
The US Postal Service, as you may or may not be aware, is a private
|
||
corporation. Congress has the power to set postal rates, not the Post
|
||
Office. This is stated in Section 8 of the US Constitution. Last time
|
||
congress set postal rates, they set them at two cents. So two cents
|
||
is all you legally have to pay for mailing your letters. Try it out,
|
||
this really works!
|
||
Get some a set of those stamp letters with the alphabet on them, or
|
||
get the rubber stamps specially made up by your local printer. Use Red
|
||
ink to stamp "FIRST CLASS MAIL" and "NON-DOMESTIC" on the top or left
|
||
hand side of your envelope, and black or blue ink to stamp:
|
||
"TWO CENT POSTAGE
|
||
12 STATUTES AT LARGE
|
||
CHAPTER 71, SECTION 23
|
||
LOCAL/DROP LETTER
|
||
81 U.S. STATUTE 613"
|
||
One of the keys to making this work is that it seem official looking. It
|
||
works for me, but if you drop twenty letters in the same mailbox all like
|
||
this, it's less likely to work.
|
||
|
||
Your envelope should look like this:
