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:
