Nickel Charity Campaign

I received this in the mail the other day and was pretty blown away. I haven't even opened it yet: it is such a piece of artwork already.

The MS society apparently thinks it's a good idea to send out an ACTUAL nickel in the mail with a line above it written "Can a nickel really help end MS?"

Well I guess it can as it must be helping them as I write this. They must be super rich. (UPDATE 11/16/2013: Received another nickle in the mail from a different charity)

And while I'm on the topic, I once received some letter address stickers and holiday cards/envelopes from a charity. And over the course of a year I used some of them. Then one night I saw their plea for a donation on the back of the address stickers and felt a little guilty using their stuff and not donating. So I wrote a cheque and sent them a small donation. That was a huge mistake(Or maybe not?) Since then I have received more holiday envelopes, pens, letter address labels and such than I know what to do with: from dozens of different charities!! My guess is they sold my address to all these other charities and now I actually have an ENTIRE drawer FULL of holiday cards, stickers and more! I won't be having to buy a birthday or Christmas card again for a long long time...

Here is a photo showing how much they have been sending me as of late...

I've seen a couple articles similar to this in the past few months so I thought I would finally cut one out and post it. It's a sad state of affairs when your army is over weight.
