Get Out the Vote

November 12, 2022 /

It’s Saturday morning, and I’m starting my day with Wordle, a cup of tea, and some post card writing. I have a stash of generic looking postcards that I bought a few years ago on Amazon, and I’m sending encouragement to registered Democrats in Georgia, encouraging them to get out and vote, and re-elect Senator Warnock in the run-off election on December 6th.

If you’re inclined to join me, time is short. I go through an organization called Tony the Democrat, and once you sign up with them, they will text and/or email you a list of addresses, as few as 5 and as many as 50. I have 14 post card stamps, so I signed up for 14. Mailing day (the day they hope you will mail your postcards) is Monday, November 14th. If this feels like something you would like to do, and you can run out today and get postcards and stamps, here is how to sign up, from the email that I received: Invite them to text JOIN to (484) 275-2229 or to email Join@TonyTheDemocrat.org.

    Wow, I’ve never heard of this. How cool to actually be able to do something rather than sit around and hope. Do they tell you what to write, or are you on your own? I mean I know the message is “vote for Warnock” but I’m wondering if there’s an official script. I’ll look into this- thanks for sharing it!

      Hi Jenny! They tell you what to write pretty specifically. I was given a choice between two scripts, and then if you had room you could add something from a list of other scripts. I pretty much wrote the same thing on all of them.

    Thank you for your activism, Julie. I do postcard writing through VoteForward, and I’ve written voters all over the US for elections since 2015. I love the voter to voter personal touch.
