4. I got 200 and am able to write about 10 in 1/2 hour.

So about 20 hours of writing. I naturally print, which is what they prefer, so it may take a bit longer for someone who typically writes in cursive. If that’s too much can you get some help?

We are having postcard parties (another good excuse to drink wine. Tarrant County Dem Women do like to party)

Our instructions are to mail them Oct 20 right before Early Voting starts.

I have some other postcards for local use in my precinct

I don't know what the ones for other states look like but the Texas Votes cards are beautiful!!!

I’ve had 1 very positive response. I’m thinking if this isn’t too difficult I may sign up for postcards to a vulnerable congressional seat in Mn.

I go through and address them all first, then go back through and write the message on each one. When I'm sitting down watching movies, or riding in a car, attending a meeting that doesn't require my full attention, etc. I have a pack of cards with me to work on writing.

The ones I have go out October 24. Not sure when the first round goes out.

I didn't realize that we have to provide postage and that postcards are so expensive now. I've had to cut back on other donations to afford it. Takes a lot of willpower to not send to Kamala every week.
