All of this was in my mailbox today. Just today. The candidates might not agree on [Social Security](http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-08-25/news/29943132%5F1%5Fanthony-weiner-medicare-aid-entitlement?ref=bklyner.com), or the [Ground Zero mosque](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/turner%5Fhits%5Fweprin%5Fon%5Fmosque%5FaHx8Umqew7KFEe2JBDRtTN?ref=bklyner.com), or [corporate taxes](http://www.politico.com/blogs/davidcatanese/0911/Turner%5Fhearts%5Floopholes%5FWeprin%5Fgets%5FCuomo%5F.html?ref=bklyner.com), or, well, [just about anything](/political-roundup-the-race-to-replace-anthony-weiner/)… except that they hate trees. And, perhaps, annoying their potential constituents.

I guess they’re doing their best to keep the postal service busy. There’s one government program I suppose Turner doesn’t want to hack away at. But perhaps the candidates can save some money and reach more people by [advertising online](/advertise-sheepshead-bay-brooklyn/).

*The special election for the 9th Congressional District is on September 13.*
