I
understand there is a groundswell of determination to send tea bags to
Washington, DC starting on April 1st, in hopes they will arrive by
April 15th.
Here are my suggestions for doing so such that no
one can accuse us of any sort of threat (e.g. the Anthrax scare) and
also no one can trace the tea bags back to specific individuals.
1.) Get a box of foil wrapped tea bags.
2.)
Address one or more envelopes to the White House, the Speaker of the
House, the Senate Majority Leader and/or anyone else you choose to
include (use a computer & printer to avoid leaving any clues about who you are).
3.) In place of the return address, print the following :
"Enclosed please find one unopened foil-wrapped bag of tea for your use on April 15th. Sincerely, A Citizen."
4.) Mail from your city's main postal branch, or from a post office in another town.
Do
not include anything other than the foil wrapped bag. Do not say
anything nasty or otherwise incendiary. Do not include your return
address anywhere on the envelope or inside. And drop the envelope in
the outgoing mail slot outside easy view by the postal staff. Also, you may (if you're really paranoid) want to use gloves to keep finger prints off the tea bag and the envelope.
If
several thousand (not to say several million) tea bags packaged like
this showed up at the Washington, DC postal centers, the reaction
should be very interesting. Any one interested in joining me?
