A Hypothetical

Lets say, for the sake of argument, that a particular campaign has sent you a letter. In this letter is a request by said campaign for financial assistance as well as a salutation addressing you as a member or supporter of this campaign. Let us further assume that this letter includes a return envelope for your generous financial donation, the postage of which will be payed by the addressee, but it is clearly labeled on the envelope that in order to help them out financially even more, you can affix your own first class stamp to the envelope. Now let’s assume that you were sent this letter despite being an avid supporter of the opposite campaign, and seeing yourself greeted as a member of this campaign almost made you vomit uncontrollably. What, hypothetically, would you do with this payed envelope? That’s right, the answer is fill it with cut up pieces of cardboard until it reaches a higher shipping cost by both mass and volume and include a slip of paper that reads,

“I am not a [proper noun denoting this campaign]. [Proper noun denoting campaign's candidate] will not win and you are crazy if you think he will. Have fun paying for this envelope full of cardboard.”

I mean, that’s obvious, in theory, right?!
