This has been all over Facebook.

On March 15th, each of us will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.
Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. ASK HIM ABOUT HIS TAX RETURNS. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.
Prepare for March 15th, 2017, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump
Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump ! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.
Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:
President (for now) Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
It might just be enough to make him crack.
Not my original post but someone else's great idea!

There will be a hideous picture of Pussy Grabber in Chief
right on the postcard. I know that fat fuck won't see it, but if he does, I hope he has a tantrum. I'll have some choice messages to write on it.

1. Not a bad notion. Anyone want to start a design contest?

4 Postcards to a page, per Avery template. I'd love to find some good designs, but I'm not that creative yanno? So... post your designs here. I'm looking for maybe 4-5 pages worth, so 16 or 20. I'll head to the Post Office on Monday and get a book of postcard postage stamps.

I'll mail the first one on 3/15 and one per day thereafter until they're all gone. Message on each: HAVE YOU RELEASED THE TAX RETURNS YET?

And a nice picture that will make him writhe on the front of each.

Sounds like good, clean fun!

AND it will support the Post Office, which I like, too.

happily,
Bright

because the envelopes have to go through more screening, due to past anthrax events.

Hope it spreads more.

I am going to send postcards of the redwoods near me and talk about the environment. I hope people use it more to get their message out than to just call him names.

I think it will have more power if he gets millions of cards about policies that matter.

Y'know those postcards you occasionally get at restaraunts to give them feedback? Yeah, make one like that to review how he's doing as president.

That'd get under his skin.
