34. Don't forget to buy post card forever stamps.

I find writing a couple of polite, but pungent lines to my Republican Senator and Representative and their staffs, and sending it in a way that anyone can read it, i.e. via postcard, is a very cathartic activity.
I often write them while watching Chris or Rachel.
I send them to all their local offices, not just Washington, D.C.
Sometimes, I glue a political cartoon onto the front to make my point twice over.
