Do you think the issuers of junk mail advertisements have a right to force you to receive their junk mail? (Junk mailers have contracts with the US postal system which mandates that their ads be delivered and the recipient cannot refuse to receive it.)

I think you may be incorrect about such a mandate. I believe you have the right to refuse mail. I have gotten the same advertisements over & over again and put on the envelope refused/return to sender and the mailman took them back. Probably just threw them away I guess.

I think it's fine that they send them to me, and like a great comedian once said, I can bother them right back. I'll take the mail different companies send me, then just mail them another companies ad :). I havn't done it, but I really want to-just don't wanna waste time =/.

EXACTLY! Why not have government contracts for email spammers that say if they pay the US Government so much for every 1000 emails, they can spam to their hearts desire. What a great way to further support our already damaged financial aid and social security systems! I agree. I hate receiving physical junk mail. Especially the yellow postcard that begs you for clothing and blankets for people with diseases. Let me be charitible to whom I wish.

If everyone returned to sender everything the postal services would have to think again because they would be inundated....it's worth thinking about :o)

I called the post office about the exorbitant amount of catalogs I was getting and was told that they're paid to deliver them. After researching I found this site: www.catalogchoice.org. I've declined 125!! different catalogs through this site .. and it works! Good question!
