[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 914161, member: 1246"] [B]Unreal:[/B] Congressmen Told They Can’t Say “Merry Christmas” In Mail To Constituents… Chalk another victory up for the PC-obsessed left. Via Washington Examiner: [INDENT]Looks like the PC police have threatened members of the House of Representatives against wishing constituents a “Merry Christmas,” if they want to do so in a mailing paid for with tax dollars. Members who submit official mailings for review by the congressional franking commission that reviews all congressional mail to determine if it can be “franked,” or paid for with tax dollars, are being told that no holiday greetings, including “Merry Christmas,” can be sent in official mail. “I called the commission to ask for clarification and was told no ‘Merry Christmas.’ Also told cannot say ‘Happy New Year’ but can say ‘have a happy new year’ — referencing the time period of a new year, but not the holiday,” said a Hill staffer who requested anonymity. Another Hill staffer told [I]The Washington Examiner[/I] that “we were given that advice after submitting” a draft mailing. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
