WASHINGTON — Re­publican freshmen who came to Congress last year promising to transform Washington’s free-spending culture are no different from most other lawmakers in at least one respect: They mailed out millions of tax­payer- funded flyers and bro­chures during their first year in office.

GOP freshmen sent more than 25.6 million pieces of unsolicited mail last year at a cost of nearly $9.8 million, according to a review of re­cords compiled by the chief administrative officer of the House.

Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., spent far less than most law­makers — $7,871 — to send 8,674 pieces of mail. That cost ranked 308th among House lawmakers.

1. yes, indeed,,,,,

Whenever Rep Paul Gossar mails me a flyer,,,, I write "return to sender" on it and put it back in the mailbox,,,, it's my way of snubbing him (not that his teabag ass cares) plus I'm hoping the Post Office gets some more money for it.
