Almost every day I sit down and write a dozen or two post cards. I signed up for a free program to send Postcards to Swing States. They send me the postcards, a mailing list, and suggested instructions. I'm not capable of making large political donations, but I AM convinced that by sending a couple hundred post cards written in my own handwriting, I'll be making a difference. It happens that I live in a swing state, so they sent me Florida post cards. I will mail them in October, timed to arrive strategically before election day. Oh yeah, I have to buy the stamps.

The website is PostcardsToSwingStates dot com. C'mon, help me out.

Do you have a link where one might get in on this?

Yes, just google Postcards To Swing States and it'll point you to postcardtoswingstates dot com.

We do have some negative attitudes here. What’s that line about herding cats?

Good analogy. But I never try to herd the little bitches. I just open the cans of cat food. Works every time.

Kudos to your perseverance but you still write post cards?

?? I don't understand your question. My post states very clearly that I AM writing postcards.

@mischl
Great that you stepped up to contribute efforts but do you really think it will make a difference to count? Would they do target mailing to independents and moderates who are not registered Republicans or Democrats? The Republicans and Democrats will continue to sing to their own party and candidate tunes as they always have and very unlikely to convert. I have doubts but good luck if you believe in your efforts.

@St-Sinner Haha, yes, this is another instance of "believing the science." I'd be willing to bet that two or three out of a hundred people who get my hand-written and hand-signed card will be more likely to go and vote. Strikes me that's better than sitting on my ass bitching and complaining.

@mischl
No doubt. That optimism is very helpful. I look for the biggest bang for the buck but I know there is value in what you are doing. Every little bit helps and your willingness to pitch with efforts instead of just throwing money at it is admirable. Good luck.

MN is not considered a swing state, I doubt any out-of-state card would be paid attention-to.
