"Swamping" the White House with Post Cards Mailed on the Ides of March
Re. the post card plan: I spent time making design & content decisions. I ordered 100 cards. The cards arrived, and I liked -- still like -- what's on them. But a day or two ago, I started thinking about how unlikely it is that the flood of cards will do anything other than create work for mail sorters and perhaps pollute the air, etc. when they are discarded or incinerated. It seems to me that we can get "more bang for our bucks" if we bombard Congressmen and Senators with mail. I realize that my thoughts won't affect the action planned for the Ides of March, but I still want to encourage folks to keep adding to the mail load dumped on the staff of cowards in Congress.

I understand your concerns and have thought about these implications as well. I only ordered 50, but mine are pre-addressed. I have decided to go on with mailing them to the White House. Your suggestion is well-received, though, and I will try to think of other ways to put pressure on members of Congress.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Risa, I would like to thank you for all the work you are doing. You are showing up where I have not, and I am grateful for your energy and engagement on behalf of liberty and justice for ALL!
ReplyDeleteThank you for involving yourself in the "Resistance Movement" in VARIOUS ways and for viewing what I do more generously than I see it. I feel that I'm doing far less than I should be doing. (I've got "skin in this game," including -- most importantly -- the skin of my skin.)
DeleteI've got some extra postcards and will send to congressmen on same day
ReplyDeleteMy two thumbs are up, Vicki.
