"Postage not included" would mean in addition to sending your proof of vote, you also have to send payment for delivery of future print. Hmmmm........ :roll:

Not only does this seem highly unethical to try to swing an election via bribery, but there's also a possibility that it's illegal in some way. I dont care what side of the political fence you fall on, just seems super shady. But hey, we've all done worse for free handbills, cant imagine what some of you would do for a free banksy :lol:

Fairey (and others) creates some Obama posters that are "given" to folks who donate a specified amount to said candidate or political party.
Banksy creates some balloon posters that are "given" to folks who vote against a specified candidate or political party.

Really, what is the difference? Nothing new here.

That said, I doubt this project is as simple as it seems now.

I think donating to a party versus actually requesting a specific vote are very different things personally. But yeah, I'm sure this is far from what it seems most likely

Yeah, but making a $$ contribution to a party or candidate and getting a gift is different than just offering up something for an actual vote is something else entirely
