...the 27 cent stamps.   that's the price of a postcard currently, going up in a month or two I think.

Make sure it's a standard size postcard though. If it's over-sized, it requires a normal stamp.

Priority and Express go up Jan. 18. Postcard and letter postage doesn't go up until May. The new rates will be announced in Feb. Postcards have to be from 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 inches by 5 to 6 inches wide, and 0.007 to 0.016 inches thick. Over 6 1/8 by 11 1/2 inches is no longer eligible for standard first class postage even, and right now is $0.83 for the first ounce and $0.17 for each additional ounce, instead of the letter rate of $0.42. The letter rate only goes up to 3.5 ounces, and they charge the same $0.17 for each additional ounce or fraction thereof. Standard run of the mill copier paper is usually about 0.003 inches thick, so postcards have to be about twice that up to about five times that thickness. Letters can be up to 1/4 inch thick, but are supposed to be "uniform thickness". They charge an extra 20 cents if you have say a pen in the envelope, or it has a clasp, making it "nonmachinable". That would probably include sealing wax. Myself I love sealing wax.

are you pursuing the nov 30 demonstration? 

I expect to be there, unless someone else suggests a better time or place.

Danny (Daniel-John: Riley) said that the last demonstration was SUPER!  All the inmates and guards saw and heard it.  Now what? To set a bonfire, and let them smell it?  Go fer it!

I'm writing her every day. I was slack for the first week or so though. Today's postcard includes this text on one side:

Attn: Lauren's Captors
I beg you to be humane. Please deliver Lauren's mail. Lots of people care about her and are concerned about her treatment while in your custody. Thank you.

[Russell Kanning]

When I see him on Thursday, I'll ask him about this.

In the meantime, see this James Madison quote, that could be applied to this bail-out bill:

I bet the trip around the jail caused quite a stir.
I wonder how the jail likes having Lauren in there all this time.

[Mike Barskey]

Reminder: Lauren has 8 days left in jail. Please keep her company during her last incarcerated week. Write her letters - on your own or using Mail-to-Jail. If you send a letter in the next few days, it will reach the jail before she is released.

[Kat Kanning]

We were all just sending something

[Mike Barskey]

Excellent! Thanks!

[Kat Kanning]

You're welcome, Master Butterfly

Hey! Master Butterfly. MB. Mike Barskey. Nice. Although, it isn't the most manly of nicknames.
