    It is illegal for anyone other than the owner of a mailbox, or the postal carrier, to put anything in a mailbox.

    If you have flyers that you want to distribute, do it the honest way. Pay for postage on them, and send them through the mail.

    Do not put them in or on other people's mailboxes; that's a federal offense.

    Do not attach them to people's doors, cars, or other property; that's trespassing, littering, and vandalism.

    Legitimate advertising costs money. Don't look for ways to steal it. Nobody wants to do business with a thief; any more than with a trespasser, a litterer, or a vandal.

    • who are you to say that stepping it from door to door to advertise your own business is dishonest. I spit on you for demeaning my hard work. I am very courteous to look for no solicitation signs and to walk away without advertising myself if I see the sign. Let me spit on you again because you deserve it for putting down the little man who has no money for advertising and can only afford putting his own sweat into his advertising. You disgust me. Put up a no trespassing sign so I never have to see you!

    • Thats bull. Just another way the Federal Govt can tax everyone. Its a frivolous law. There is no valid excuse for such a law to be on the books or for tax dollars to be wasted on paying someone to investigate and prosecute this so-called criminal act.... There is many; more important; issues, legalities & social problems to pay attention to and pursue. Its no wonder why our country his headed down the road its on.
