i heard somewhere that there is a petition to create a do not mail registry the way they have a do not call registry, but i don't think there is anything in effect today.
@triangles: At least in Georgia, you do not have to be registered to vote in that primary. I know this because I regularly vote in the dem primaries so I can kick out who I don't like... and I'm a registered libertarian... but mostly vote republican. :P
@electricbathduck: I've definitely signed up for both DNC and DNM lists, and it has indeed cut down on my junk mail. Whenever I get credit card or donation solicitations from organizations that aren't ones to whom I usually donate, I send them a letter telling them to remove me from their mailing lists (sent in their own prepaid postage envelopes).
Nowp. I think political junk mail is excluded.
don't reg as a party.
I'm registered Independent. I still get junk mail.
but I bet you don't get the Democratic Party's official endorsement packet vol. 1 - 5.
@Jesse: If I don't register my affiliation, I can't vote in their primaries, or at least that is my understanding.

I am registered as independent and I don't get any junk mail, other than the sample ballots and that kind of thing.
Thanks, all!

i should start putting flour in their prepaid envelopes and returning them causing anthrax scares and lost productivity.
@ebd: Should, yes. The question is will you. :P
why not? i'll even fill out the applications with the names and addresses of people i hate.
