POSTCARDS 4 DEMOCRACY: It’s a party, it’s a movement,
it’s…. SOMETHING TO DO!
WHAT IS A “POSTCARDS
4 DEMOCRACY” PARTY?
It’s a group of very concerned (as in “freaked out”) citizens
who come together to write and send hand-written messages on postcards to
members of the Electoral College in Five Red states where the vote was closest. (Scroll down for Elector addresses.) We write to urge the Electors to switch their
vote to... THE WINNER OF THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE! What a concept! It’s called DEMOCRACY! If enough Electors
switch, we will have a democratically elected President!
THE SEVEN
BENEFITS OF A POSTCARDS 4 DEMOCRACY PARTY
1. We
might change history. Admittedly it’s a
long shot. I won’t go into HOW long a
shot it is.
2. We’re
planting seeds for a campaign to rid the U.S. of the tragic effect of the
Electoral College by 2020. (Go to nationalpopularvote.com for the best idea).
3. We’re
building a culture of civility.
4. We’re
alleviating our depression and despair through activism.
5. We’re
gathering with like-minded souls to create COMMUNITY!
6. We’re
spreading beauty in the world through picture postcards.
7. We’re
supporting the U.S. Post Office, which could really use a helping hand.
WHAT’S
NOT TO LIKE, FOLKS?!?
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
1. Postcard stamps ("forever" or 34 cents)
2. Five or ten postcards for each guest
3. The address list below
I WILL
REIMBURSE ANYONE FOR POSTCARDS AND STAMPS.
HONEST.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE?
Your message should be personal to YOU. Of course, discuss it with others, have
people suggest, critique. But we are
going for NOT standardized here.
This is NOT about the
candidates but about DEMOCRACY!
DON’T criticize Trump or even use the candidates’ names.
I refer to Clinton only as:
The winner of the national popular vote.
“In a democracy, the winner of the national popular vote
should be President.”
“One person, one vote.”
“You have the power to strengthen our democracy.”
“Our democracy is in danger if the winner of the NPV does
not become President.”
BE CIVIL. “You idiot, do the right thing or I’ll
fire-bomb your house!” tends to be counter-productive. We’re appealing directly to the
goodness and fairness of another human being.
We are asking to be heard.
My best message so
far: "Dear Elector (name
here): Please consider casting your vote for the candidate who won
the national popular vote by more the one million!
It is terrible that, in the U.S.A.,
every person’s vote is not equal. How can we call ourselves a
democracy? You have the power to help correct this
injustice. Please use your vote to make democracy stronger.” (It was
a big postcard.)
Definitely sign your name. I also put my address.
Please,
no address labels! Hand-write entire
postcard!
WHAT
KIND OF POSTCARDS?
(The Post Office no longer sells postcards.)
1. Easiest: Buy packets of Avery (or other) postcards – 4
on each 8 ½ X 11 sheet. 200 in every
packet. Put address on one side, message
on other. They’re in the “label” section
of office supply stores.
2. Next
easiest: Buy picture postcards in drug
stores, museums, gift shops. Go for
pretty, interesting, patriotic, nature, traditional art -- but NOT political, subversive, lefty, raunchy
or boundary-pushing in any way. Van Gogh: Yes.
Picasso: No. San Francisco/New
York City images: No. Everywhere else: Yes.
3. Make
your own picture postcards by printing out your 4X6 photos, and back them with
4X6 labels to make them sturdy. I happen
to have many 4x6 photos of my beautiful garden.
I have no idea why I printed out so many. But I’m using them now.
The advantage of #2 & #3 is that you’re giving the
Elector a little gift, putting out some beauty into the world.
THESE
ARE THE IDEAS FROM THE FIRST “P4D” PARTY.
IF YOU WANT TO MAIL 2000 PICASSO POSTCARDS, THEN DO IT!
PLEASE
TELL ME HOW MANY YOU MAILED TO WHICH STATES.
Email
me your address and I’ll send you a check to reimburse you.

AND
NOW, WHAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…. (I will send Pennsylvania separately in
an email.)
