((Youngest …. He’s 32))

I’m glad to see they are writing postcards to Ohio.

He just mailed his ballot yesterday. Solid blue, of course.

1. That's so nice. It's a great project. I wish I could

have participated, but I can’t write too long without my hand cramping .

2. It *is* nice. I'm glad there are some folks who aren't giving up on Ohio!

3. My postcards were for Ohio,

Florida and another state but I don’t remember where. My arthritis in my thumbs was hurting so I did them in small sections. I hope at least one of them made a difference. I’m in PA.

4. I'm currently writing postcards to Ohio as well.

Just taking a short DU break.

15. Me, too!

Which reminds me, I need to get back to work!

5. Mine went to

Michigan voters.

6. I'm an Ohioan who wrote 200 postcards to fellow Ohioans,

I'm glad to hear he went solid blue!

7. That is such a great feeling.

Last fall with the reproductive rights issue on the ballot I got a note from someone in CA! It made me happy to think that someone was working with us from afar! It will be interesting to see what Ohio does.

8. My daughter in Ohio got one yesterday

Maybe this will help Sherrod Brown

9. I'm grateful to all of you who do this.

If we in Ohio can only pass Issue 1 and un-gerrymander our state, we could get more Dems in office here and that will lead to much better things. I keep reading that it has a good chance of passing.

10. My 200 are going out tomorrow (to my fellow Michiganders)!

[blue neen]

11. We got one here in PA over the weekend.

It was sent from CA! Thank you to all the people who are doing this important work. We treasure you!

[Mr.Bill]

12. I got one back in 2016.

It wasn't necessary, but it felt good nonetheless.

13. This Ohioan got one last week.

Our straight blue ballots went in Monday's mail. I just checked and they are both "being included in the election results".

[La Coliniere]

14. Maybe it was

one of the 600 my wife and I sent to PA, OH, and NC since Joe’s announcement he was stepping down. We did something and wish we could do more to keep the fascists behind the gate.

16. I am mailing 200

Postcards to Ohio tomorrow!

17. Last week I sent out 300 postcards to Minnesota's 2nd Congressional district.

This district is represented by Democrat Angie Craig and is considered one of the more competitive House races in the country.

18. Probably got the creepy version.

I got one (despite the fact that I've written postcards for years, serve as an observer for years, have voted in all but 2, maybe 3 elections in the past 5 decades, and door knocked for Democratic candidates. My daughter also got one.

Both were the creepy version. (Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record.) I hate that version and have rejected it every time it has been offered. Apparently, it is being interpreted that way by others, as well. https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2022/05/pa-primary-2022-postcard-social-pressure-campaign/

ETA: Mine go out tomorrow ( with one of two less creepy messages).

Thank you for being a voter! Your family and friends may need your reminder to vote. Please ask them to vote in the Tuesday November 5 election!

23. I also used the wording about encouraging friends and family to vote

I felt it had the potential to increase voter turnout beyond those who received postcards. I agree the one about our voting record is more creepy than helpful. I mailed my 200+ to Ohioans last Tuesday.

I received a postcard postmarked from Boston MA asking me to vote for Senator Sherrod Brown. That one pleasantly threw me for a loop as I hadn’t heard of anyone writing postcards for down ballot races and Ds have some vulnerable Senate races to defend this election cycle and need all the help they can get. Although I didn’t need the reminder to vote for Sherrod Brown, hopefully it reached some who did need it.

19. If it's messy handwriting.....

it's from me possibly. I wrote 200 postcards to Ohio. Mailed them October 15th.

[samplegirl]

20. This is the first year I didn't write postcards out.

Here in Trumbull county I will not waste my time sitting there writing postcards out for fake Democrats. We got a big problem here.

[Bumbles]

21. My last batch will be going out tomorrow.

I was super pleased that I'm writing from Maine to get out the vote for Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio, one of my most favorite senators of all time. I went to Westen College in Oxford, Ohio, then married and lived for fifteen years in North Olmstead and Lyndhurst while teaching school.

[Diamond_Dog]

22. Senator Brown is very popular in the Cleveland area!

24. I've written postcards to South Florida voters

It’s a great activity.
