Postcards for Paul

[aready]

Would anyone be interested in starting a postcard movement? I was thinking of putting something together where people can mail out postcards to people on their christmas list. That way- it would be just letting people you know, know Ron Paul. And letting them know you are voting for Ron Paul. I think people are more influenced by people they know that just a random individual.

This would be something set up like a "postcard bomb" or similar. Just picking a date where everyone sends them out.

Is this a good idea? Anyone interested?

Why wait for a postcard date? Or why wait to do the idea?

I sent out slim jims in all of my Christmas letters this year.

And I've mailed almost 300 postcards to people in my precinct.

Postcards are much cheaper ($0.26 stamps) than regular mail.

I will see what I can do. Any ideas would be welcomed...

check out vistaprint for oversized postcards!

They offer both the printing AND the postage at the slower, yet much cheaper bulk mail rates. Simply upload a design, upload addresses and the rest they handle.
