a pound of promotion

Today municipal elections are being held in Chicago and I happen to live in one of the wards with the most heated race for alderman (thankfully I voted early so I didn't have to deal with lines and even more signs and flyers). I've been hanging on to all of the promotional material that I've received in the last few weeks and brought it in to the office to weigh today...it came to a whopping total of 1 pound and 1 ounce.
