I’m in the process writing 1,000 postcards this election cycle. The stamps are the most expensive part of it and should be ordered well in advance from usps.com.

I'm going to my 4th postcard writing event on Sunday. It is a lot of fun! We wrote to GA and AZ voters last time as well as some local CA voters, which is where I live. To be in a room filled with like minded people is so inspiring. We've had to change the location twice now, to a larger facility because of the uptick in support. That's a good thing!
Yes. Postcard stamps are in short supply these days. You might be able to order some online. I'm sure the post office is printing as we chat, but please remember that this guy ---> was appointed by Trump in 2020, Incumbent Louis DeJoy since June 16, 2020
Exactly! Ever since Dejoy was appointed he began dismantling the Post Office. Prior to that I did vote by mail. Now I'm back to in person voting. People who live in rural areas depend on the post office !
I voted by mail once due to surgery and later found out that signatures had to match as they originally did when I first registered decades ago--beats me back then. So I am trying to avoid voting by mail, especially with the stuff caused by Trump and his Republicans to interfere with voting.
Thank you so much for this info. I used to do the postcards but my arthritis has gotten so bad that my handwriting is very poor. I have donated directly to Tony the Democrat but not directly for helping those doing the actual writing...I'm going to send a few dollars!
I wholeheartedly agree! I tried to write post cards and my arthritis didn't cooperate. I am more than happy to pay for stamps + whatever is needed to those that are able to do it!.
You might check w/ local pro-democracy groups that are writing to voters. In Oregon a number of Indivisible groups are doing that and greatly appreciate donations for stamps. Postcard stamps are now 56¢ each!
Thanks for the idea! I already donate to Indivisible but just the national organization. I just donated a bit more for their Neighbor2Neighbor project but from what folks that seem to know way, the postcards are also very effective so I will check into that
Wow! I ordered 200 postcards and they take time!! 1000 is quite an undertaking..and the stamps are not cheap!! Kudos to you!! Thank you for your doing this!!!
Search for "NEAZ Native Democrats" (on Arizona tribal lands) or "Tony the Democrat" (you pick the state.) They have well-organized and well-run postcarding campaigns going. It's fun to know that some wonderful Democratic voter is being reminded by someone far away (you and me) to vote. I love postcarding!

thank you from AZ. He was here yesterday in Tucson and only 550 people showed up.
That’s a good sign. I bet he’s saying 50,000.
And he thought he was in Pennsylvania, didn't he? He said Pennsylvania, here's what you need to do.
We don't need a crazy man but Putin does!
two crazy and scary people
wow
That was 550 too many!

Last time I bought postcard stamps I purchased 3 sheets. I take one to each event. Next time I'll buy 5!!!
Thanks for the info about the stamps. I just mailed 100 cards with 300 more to go. I will order my stamps tonight.
Linda, any tips on who to contact to help send postcards? I'd love to help!

That's why I decided to do phone banking instead of sending postcards. My old hands just can't handle all the writing anymore.
Good job!!! I live in a rural area and my phone connection is often not very good so I haven't felt confident enough to try the phone banking.

Great job! Thank you
I’m also writing postcards. Plus, I’m a poll worker this election. This is my “do something”.
Wow! Thank you!
