POSTCARDS

Our postcard template can be used in your local area as a handout for people to send in to their Members of Congress in both the House and the Senate.

There are four postcards per page. One sheet has the front of the card, one sheet has the back. You may need to reduce the size so that the borders print correctly (you can do so either in the print screen or in page properties). You can take these to a copy center (such as Kinkos) and have them copied double-sided on card stock paper, then cut into four postcards. (The copy center can do it for you, or you can do it yourself.) It might be wise to first find your congressperson's mailing information and write or type it on the front of each card before copying so that all the person your giving it to has to do is write a note and drop it in the mail.

Some of you might even wish to buy postcard stamps and put them on some of the cards first. You can then have people fill them out right in front of you and mail it for them. (You can put a basket out for folks to give a quarter to reimburse you). This will assure that they get sent in.

If you live in an area that has many congressional Representatives, you may wish to either make multiple stacks of cards with different congressmembers information printed on them, or make up labels with different congresspersons information and then just peel them off and put them onto the cards for people as you talk with them (Again, many phone books have congressional maps in the front that will help people to figure out who their congressperson is, or you can visit http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/congress.html to print maps out- if they do not already know. Also, visit www.congress.org for a list of Reps.)
