Today I wrote and sent a letter to the Direct Marketing Association. This stops the association from selling my name and information to direct mail houses and to email marketers. You can be removed in two ways. First, you can go to www.dmaconsumers.org and remove yourself. If you do this, they charge you $5. If you send the following letter (your information inserted of course) it costs $1. While they ask that you send a check, money order, or credit card number, the District Attorney recommended just stuffing a dollar bill in the envelope.
