@jeanne-mayell Thank you, Jeanne!  These are wonderful ideas.  I’ve written postcards before and it’s quite satisfying to make a personal connection to a voter in another state and let them know how important their vote is.  Our democracy depends on turnout, now more than ever.

@bluebelle Re postcards -I have even made little drawings sometimes on the postcards. Original art!

Thank you for posting, sweet friend.

@jeanne-mayell On my postcards, I wrote quotes from John Lewis, like “Get into good trouble” in bright colored markers.  On other postcards, i used “Vote like your life depends on it,” or “remember John Lewis.”

Oh, I love that idea. Going to do that this time.

Here is the situation the House of Representatives is facing this next election:

Every two years, party control is determined by the outcome of only a few dozen seats. Next year, Republicans need to flip only a handful of seats to wrest power away from Democrats. That's why getting out the vote is more critical than ever.

@jeanne-mayell

Thank you for your posts about how we can get involved. Thanks to a post you made last year my spouse and I wrote post cards to voters in Florida before the 2020 election.

I plan to write post cards this year at the very least since it is a very important election indeed.

The resources you post here are very helpful!
