Citizens, Speak. - Join the Postcard Activists!
The most effective way to communicate your opinions.



----------------------------  How do you contact your political representatives these days? --------------------------------------


- Email?: Some representatives only take email from their own constituents or contributors even though they are dealing with broader issues.

- Phone?: It's frequently difficult to get through or get someone to make your point to, and your call may be ignored or forgotten as soon as the call ends.


- In Person: Next to impossible unless it's between sessions.. Especially if the issue is imminent.

- Surface Mail: Security restrictions can leave your letter in the mail room for days or even weeks after the issue is addressed.


Why not try postcards, instead?
 
  • You can send them to anyone, including any representative from any district or location.
  • They command attention - Everybody that sees a postcard reads it, especially picture postcards, it's human nature.
  • No filtration or blocking of your message by the staff. No 'security handling' delays in the mail room.
  • Your opinion will be delivered. The recipient has to handle them in some way, they cannot be completely ignored.
  • Low cost. Current postage is 28 cents and most postcards cost pennies, or make your own from card stock.                                   

               -[Note: USPS size limits: Minimum: 3-1/2 inches high by 5 inches long by 0.007 inch thick / Maximum: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high.]


---So pick something relevant, state your opinion, and get it in the mail.---



Postcards are the best way to tell your representative: "I wish you were HERE (to hear from me)"
