For mass mailings to their Congressional district, Members may use their signature, or frank, instead of a postage stamp. The term mass mailing is defined as follows: "with respect to a session of Congress, a mailing of newsletters or other pieces of mail with substantially identical content (whether such pieces of mail are deposited singly or in bulk, or at the same time or different times), totaling more than 500 pieces of mail in that session…" -Rule XXIV of the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives

What is the privilege of free mail for members of congress?

Representatives are authorized the privilege of sending mail as franked mail inthe conduct of official business to assist them in their duties as Members ofCongress. Requirements on the use of the frank and mass mailings are establishedin statute and the regulations and rules of the House. Use of the frank is the personalresponsibility of each Representative.The franked mail postage allowance is based on a formula in which the rate ofa single piece of first class mail is multiplied by three, and the resulting figure ismultiplied by the number of non-business addresses in a Representative's district.The Committee on House Administration set the 2007 official mail allowance foreach Member at 45% of the calculation based on the above formula. Theallowance may be used to pay the costs of first, third, or fourth class franked mail.It may not be used to pay for certain specified mailing costs, for example, expressmail.Since the official mail allowance is combined with the personnel and officeexpenses allowances, there is no limit on the amount of money a Member can spendon franked mail from the combined allowances.
