The Brights' Net's We are here! Project
Brights can start making elected officials at all levels (also candidates for office) aware that a sizable segment of the citizenry is no longer content to be systematically ignored.
Here is How to Play a Role
If you basically agree with the general stance on the card, then here is how you can participate in this awareness campaign.
1. Email brights-stuff@comcast.net with "postcards" in your subject line.
2. Ask that N cards be mailed to your postal address. Please try to pledge at least 5 cards -- this will make our postage cost to you worthwhile. Please send as many cards as possible. If you lead (or are part of) a Brights group, think about having a "sending party."
3. The postcards are free. Request the number that you can pledge to send to politicians.
4. Use the table below to find the postal addresses of your targeted politicians.
5. Complete and address the cards; then stamp with correct postage (26 cents each) and mail them.
