For more than 30 years, Hustler\u2019s flamboyant publisher Larry Flynt has continued to send the monthly magazine to every member of\u00a0Congress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 1983, Hustler has sent the porno mags in plain manila envelopes to every Congressional office as Mr. Flynt\u2019s unique way of petitioning the government, National Journal\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
