I received a personal note from you in the mail this morning reminding me to vote for your family and mine against the destructive Trump agenda. Not to worry. We will both be st the polls on Tuesday to vote against Rod Blum and for Abby Finkenauer, an extraordinary candidate. Fred Hubble is our guy for governor. Straight Democratic Party ticket. thanks for the time you took and bless you and your girls. If you are here PM me.
I had heard of the card writing and thought it meant addressing cards. I didn't realize how involved it was. The care taken warms the heart.

(840 posts)We received a hand written card today encouraging us to vote for the Democrat in our state senate district (Sean McCann in western Michigan).
We are totally voting for Sean, no question but we're so impressed by the card. They're so much better than another glossy flier.
Anyway, Thanks to Donald D in Evanston, IL

(29,251 posts)and took a friend along... there were about 60 of us who joined together and wrote out well over 1000 postcards, drinking 2-for-1 local beers. We were each given a list of Dem/likely Dem folks in a particular district who often skipped midterm voting.
It was organized by a couple who had heard about the concept and ordered boxes of cute cheap postcards online, bought stamps, colored markers, etc and charged each of us $7 to cover expenses. The group enthusiasm was great and with luck, we motivated some folks enough to get out there and vote.
