What lands on the desk

A shirt, and a letter in your words.

Constituent mailOctober 22, 2026
The Honorable Ted Budd
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Senator Budd, I am a constituent in North Carolina. The shirt in this package carries the one thing I want on your desk:

“Your issue”

a constituentNorth Carolina
Contents: one printed T-shirt from a constituent, value under $50, sent under Senate Rule 35. Printed and mailed by PrintBliss, Charlotte, NC.

Sealed bag. Business return address. Your name on the letter and on the shirt. Nothing anonymous, nothing loose. That is how it clears Senate mail screening and gets opened.

1Printed here, in Charlotte. A person reads every shirt first.
2Packed with the letter. Your receipt carries the tracking.
3USPS to the Washington office. Senate mail is screened off-site: allow 1 to 3 weeks.

Same rules for everyone

Any issue. Any side. Your words.

Prints

  • Housing, schools, guns, taxes, water, the bridge on your road
  • Plain, angry, hopeful, funny
  • Your name and your city
  • Facts you stand behind

Does not print

  • Vote for, vote against, re-elect, party marks
  • Threats, in any wording. Reported, not printed.
  • Slurs, harassment, obscenity
  • Other people's logos, defamation, anyone's personal data

PrintBliss takes no side. Every Senator is listed, every message runs under the same rules at the same price.

Why this is allowed

Under the gift limit, by design.

<$50

Senate Rule 35 lets a Senator or staffer accept a non-cash gift under $50 from anyone who is not a lobbyist or foreign agent.

3

Per Senator, per year, per person. Keeps you under the $100 annual line with room to spare.

You

You are the giver. Your name is on the shirt and the letter. PrintBliss is the printer you hired.

Issue

Nothing on the shirt asks anyone to vote. It is a petition to your Senator, not a campaign piece.

Checked against the Senate Select Committee on Ethics gifts guidance and its 2026 training materials. The rule also names “a baseball cap or T-shirt” as an item of little intrinsic value; we treat that as a second footing, not the first. If an office cannot accept the shirt, it comes back to you at our cost.

Write your issue and your name on the shirt first.
