Perfect solution to morAnic email forwards
Saw this in the paper today and thought it was great. $25 might be a bit steep if the volume is high, but you could make it any amount:
_____________________________________________________________
Dear Amy: My mother is famous for sending negative political e-mails to all of her family members and friends who do not share her political beliefs.
We have asked her for years to stop because we find it offensive. We delete them, but the fact that she doesn't respect our boundaries wears us down.
Then my cousin came up with a brilliant solution!
She e-mailed my mother to inform her that she was tired of asking her to stop sending the political material she found insulting, and that if she refused to comply, for each one Mom sent, my cousin would make a $25 contribution to the opposing party in Mom's name!
After receiving a few "Thank You" letters from "those people" at least Mom has quieted down, and the rest of us get a chuckle out of it.
?Laughing to the Elections
Dear Laughing: I vote for this excellent solution.

Re: Perfect solution to morAnic email forwards
That is fantastic.
I deal with this from a guy at work, I should SOO do this.
That is fantastic! My grandmother sends me insane emails. I have no problem with her political leanings; rather, it's the fact that she forwards emails to me that are patently false. I cannot respect anyone's political position when they have almost zero factual foundation.
lol! That's a good solution.
