I chose wherever help is needed most for a state assignment and got Georgia!
Its exciting to be able to help, even when homebound. The mail-out date is in late October, so I have that time to address and write GOTV messages on each card for 200 Democrats in Georgia. Will begin purchasing stamps this week so the cost is spread out and within my monthly budget, and not a big, chunk expense.

The stamps arent as large an expense as I anticipated.

If the USPS will send stamps that I pay for to your address, I would do that too. PM me.
I'm doing Activate America, which is focusing on congressional races.

(5,303 posts)I appreciate your kindness. Just spoke to my Mom and she is going to help out with stamps which is wonderful because shes a Republican, lol! Above all, she loves this country and considers voting a sacred duty, so she is very pleased Im doing this. Its still funny, though.

(969 posts)I got an email saying my postcards are on the way. Like you, I also chose "wherever help is needed most." I asked for 1,000 postcards.....I will be doing some heavy-duty writing! I am also glad to help in any way that I can.
Good luck.....and Happy Writing!!

(969 posts)I will definitely get busy on them as soon as they arrive. Stamp prices go up soon, so I need to purchase those tomorrow.
Let me know how it goes! I admire you!

(1,593 posts)In my experience, it's a way of helping ensure Democratic turnout rather than trying to persuade the other side.

(5,303 posts)They provide 3 different messages to choose from in the instruction sheet. Each message is about three lines long- and I love that the first line for all of them is, "Thank you for being a voter!" And you sign with just your first name.
It took me a few cards to get the spacing neat and looking good, and to leave proper space for the address (omg, who the heck is naming streets these days? Some are a bit wordy, lol.)
Got it down now, so feeling good and ready to crank 'em out!

(11,554 posts)I was notified this morning that my postcard/package/kit was on its way. I chose Pennsylvania bc of its Blue Wall status. But every state is worthy of our effort. Like you, I'll be mailing out this batch in October. If I finish with these, I'll order more.
Every effort helps!
