We can cost the Mormons some money
The LDS are offering a free Easter video, no charge for the DVD or shipping. The number to call for the DVD is 800-357-4141. Even if it only costs them $2.50 a pop it would add up fast.

1. If they get your address you'll have missionaries stopping by for ages.
My idjit ex signed up for geneology assistance once. Took ages to convince them that no, that didn't mean any of us wanted to be Mormons, just that he's a moron.

10. I know! We print up a flyer to hand to them when they come to the door.
Explaining that we are people who oppose the efforts of the LDS Church to deprive people of their civil rights and thanking them for the "free" gift. A pink flyer. With a big 'ol triangle and a rainbow.

2. dunno ...............
then they have your address and come a-knockin' at your door. You become a "hot lead" for their recruiters.
but for anyone with a P.O. box - good idea. OR, give them the address of that pesky Republican inlaw.

8. Even better, give them the address of every fundagelical you know!
Religious x-tian nuts may band together on things like Prop 8 but there's a lot of internecine strife between the various sects. Just imagine your fundie neighbor or co-worker getting a visit by a Mormon missionary. Watch the sparks fly!

13. The Mormon "Church" rarely "means well." And any resources we can divert from evil is a good thing.

14. It will end up costing *us* money
They'll write it off as "ministry costs", which they then deduct as expenses. We then foot that bill because we subsidize them with our taxes, since they pay none, and increases in postage prices down the line.


But otherwise it's a nice subversive thought.

15. It's money that's going to come out of the tithes of their members
In the current economy the tithe amounts probably aren't going to go up any. Since this is money that was already tax-exempt to begin with, why not divert it to an effort that will do less harm.
