Title: One Minute Postcard "Don't Tread on Me" Template
Post by: caseyblane on June 14, 2010, 11:38:09 PM
via 9mm4545:

These are designed to be printed on yellow card stock,
printed on both sides. Each sheet will yield four postcards. The end  
result is a Gadsden Flag on one side and the usual postcard/address  
line/apply postage here stuff on the other, along with the quote from  
Benjamin Franklin which says, "She never begins an attack, nor, when  
once engaged, ever surrenders. She is therefore an emblem of  
magnanimity and true courage...she never wounds 'til she has  
generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against  
the danger of treading on her."

Having shamelessly stolen it from Fred, I have been giving the "one  
minute letter" talk at every meeting of our Tea Party (and to anyone  
else who will listen). We provide these cards (with a $.28 postage  
stamp) at our cost and we also have available the list of  
congressional (mis)representatives for our area. I give an example or  
two of how it's done and encourage people to buy a stack of cards, pre-
address them, and leave them next to their favorite TV chair with a  
pen. When they see something on Beck or Hannity or the evening news  
which makes steam come out of their ears, during the commercial break  
write a one minute postcard and tell the dorks in congress what you  
think. It's something to do until we can vote them out and replace  
with a better quality of dork. I particularly like the Gadsden Flag  
cards as it sends a message on both sides of the card, but even a  
plain postcard is better than nothing. Feel free to spread the word; I  
would like to see this "go viral".  When the cards are delivered to  
congress by the ton, we will win.


I found that Astrobright Solar Yellow cardstock from Office Depot looks great. $15 bought enough cardstock to make 1000. I am printing them on my standard home inkjet printer.

Oooh...yeah! I like these a LOT. I'm going to print a bunch and have a stack available in our store to hand out....great idea! (Right next to our Appleseed brochures, of course) ;)

It might or might not help :wb:, but hey, it makes me feel a whole lot better to write one of these. And, when they get their butt booted out of congress by We The People, at least they will have the cards to remind them why they lost their job. I figure it can't hurt and might help. Might as well have some fun along the way...
