National Action, March 15th: mail a POSTCARD to the White House

Let's swamp the DC post office, and then the WH.

https://enewspf.com/2017/02/26/give-trump-march-15-pink-slip-march-15-2017/

While reading the Oregon Register Guard yesterday, I found a Letter to the Editor by Stephanie Perkins of Springfield, explaining the peaceful protest #TheIdesOfTrump that will take place on March 15th. Even with all the research I do daily for eNews Park Forest, this was the first I had heard of this brilliant idea. This is the kind of peaceful protest that everyone can participate in as it only requires you to mail a postcard to the White House on March 15. As someone who has seen the inner workings of the Federal government, I have learned from Congressional staffers that the best way to get the attention of our politicians is to send them something in the mail or by calling your Congressperson’s office. Why? First, those letters or postcards, for example, require staffers to do all the work associated with sorting, inventorying, and providing them to the person to whom they were sent. In addition, the paper provides a tangible picture of how many people are reacting. So in many ways, sending something in the mail to DC gets more attention than sending an e-mail or Tweet.

How to Participate

1. Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Create your own cards, buy them, share them, it doesn’t matter as long as you write #TheIdes or #TheIdesOfTrump on them somewhere.

2. Take a picture of your cards and post them on social media (tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump or #TheIdes, please). This will help us verify our numbers.

3. Spread the word! Everyone on Earth can let Washington know their opinion of the President. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.

4. Then, on March 15th, mail your cards to:

The President (for now)
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Heard about the post card thing a month ago and have seen nothing about it since.
