I didn’t compose this and I respect your political persuasions, but not knowing what that is, I thought I’d on forward this anyway. Please make your own decisions but I believe there are NATIONAL current issues which won’t be debated, the majority of voters won’t get a say in, AND has the potential to divide Australia & cost each and every one of us.
The National Broadband, Illegal Boat arrivals and the huge cost to Australian tax payers, the Carbon Dioxide Tax, the foreign ownership of our LAND, not our companies or corporations, BUT OUR LAND! The drilling for coal seam gas which has the potential to kill & pollute river systems, I could go on and on.
If you feel as strongly & as patriotic as I do, then please let your feelings be known, edit this email and broadcast it!!!! WHATEVER YOUR POLITICAL PERSUASION.

IN A NUTSHELL:
Important update regarding the "Return to Sender" recommendation.
____________________________________________
Dear Fellow Concerned Australians,
The "Return To Sender" idea spreading like wildfire.
For those who don't know, millions of Aussies will be literally returning (by mail) to the government its brochure 'selling' us the Carbon Tax.
I have received two recommendations for a slight change to that excellent idea - which originated from John Izzard in
http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/qed/2011/07/return-to-sender.
One suggestion is 'water-tight ' and the other risks the "return" campaign being ineffective.
The risky idea is that we can just write O.H.M.S. and have no stamp on the envelope. It may be valid, but we don't know for sure how the Post Office would handle that - especially if there are millions of such returns.
We want to be CERTAIN that the return letters ARE delivered.
Therefore I strongly recommend the best approach as follows.
DEFINITELY put the brochure in an envelope, address it to...
Greg Combet, M.P.
House of Representatives
Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600
and DEFINITELY put a postage stamp on it.
If the brochure is too big to go in a standard envelope, just tear off any excess, leaving a piece that does fit.
They'll get the message!
If we all put postage stamps on the envelopes, then the Post Office is LEGALLY obliged to deliver ALL that mail.
If we just 'return to sender' without a stamp, the government, seeing the huge volume of (unstamped) returns, could instruct the Post Office to just dump the returns.
So, please DO...
1) put the brochure (or a piece of it) in an envelope.
2) Address, seal, stamp and then mail it.
This WILL work.
We CAN do this - easily, quickly and a lot cheaper than Canberra!

ps What I really like about this idea is that it perfectly matches the Non-violent, intelligent and effective 'style' and 'attitude' that we/OzUnited will (assuming huge support!) be using to oblige our governments to think and act as we want them to.
pps I personally will be printing and copying THIS note and then letter-box dropping it to everyone in my neighbourhood.
Wanna do the same....?
It also helps create more awareness of YOUR organisation - OzUnited.
