Election mail.

[Mr.Bill]

As usual, in the past few weeks I have received so much election junk mail that sometimes I wish I had a fireplace so I could use the stuff to heat my house this winter.

But yesterday I got one piece unlike any I ever have seen. It was from Tom Steyer's organization. It was a simple post card urging me to vote in the upcoming election. What makes it different is there is a handwritten message on it from a person who describes herself as a 60 year old woman from Rhode Island. It does mention Trump once in a negative tone, but other than that it is entirely non partisan. It is not asking me to vote for any certain candidate.


It goes on to say I live in a targeted Congressional district. Not really true, we are pretty solid blue here. (California wine country) Our Democratic Congressman, Mike Thompson's opponent doesn't even state a political party.


Anyway, good job on the part of Steyer's organization to get people to actually handwrite these things. It really stood out among all the glossy stuff I have been finding in my mail box lately.

[Mr.Bill]

2. Mine said

my vote can have an impact on "issues like health care, education and environment".

I wonder how many of these they were able to send out?

3. I mailed 25 letters to Utah today.

Steyers operation is organized. My message was vote in every election because a minority of citizens is deciding how we will all be represented. I hope it works I know it made me feel better.

[Mr.Bill]

4. Thank you for your effort.

I'm sure you made a difference for some people. If I may ask, how did they build the mailing list? Or was it just random?

6. My understanding it was people who lean Dem.

but don't always vote. Steyer has put thought and effort into this.

[Mr.Bill]

7. Interesting.

Of course, I'm Democratic, but I haven't missed voting in a long time.
