Postcard Campaigning - https://postcardstovoters.org/

After hunting around for a campaign activity that suits me, I found [link:https://postcardstovoters.org|]. It's something you can do at home, and it's perfect for someone like me who likes to write. Right now, they are supporting Phil Breseden's run for the US Senate in Tennessee. I'm hoping they will also support the Georgia and Florida Governor races.

Check it out. It is somewhat costly - you have to buy the postcards and the stamps - but you know you're connecting with voters - everyone loves to get a letter in the mail.

When I was going door-to-door for my congressman, I met an outspoken 97 year old lady who had already voted absentee - and she made me go out back with her and look at her trash can - at all the campaign literature and pamphlets she'd thrown away!

It's a handwritten card. Most people are just a little curious about a handwritten card. And on the back, you're not supposed to put campaign logos or anything that would make it look like ordinary literature.

Because you don't get the name of the person, I'm thinking of getting creative.

WPWV - Wonderful Person Who Votes

WVC - Wonderful Voting Citizen

WVD - Wonderful Voting Democrat

Yes, I'm stuck on wonderful.

This particular 97 year old lady obviously needed no reminder or persuasion to GOTV!

Kudos to you for stepping up!

Help young people register to vote with [link:http://www.vote411.org|]. Pointing young people in the right direction is a major thing. FB, Instagram, etc.
