More stuff you didn’t know you didn’t want to know about: franking. The House lays down the rules. To summarize:
Franking ok:
- Congratulations to a new Eagle Scout
- “Best Wishes” calendar
- Seven sq. in. photograph of the Member with someone else
Franking not ok:
- Condolences to a new widow
- “Happy Holidays” calendar
- Seven sq. in. photograph of the Member alone
I don’t even know why this still exists. Can’t we just make them pay for stamps, eliminating all these exceptions and controversy about mass mailing before an election?
