Mailing items to senators to support the DREAM act
 

You guys have done this more than i have so I need your opinions. Looking back at the CIR back in 06 and 07, a lot of senators said they were moved when the anti-CIR group sent them bricks to their office gesturing the whole wall thing. I'm thinking of doing something similar and mailing personalized teddy bears with "Help us realize our DREAMs S.774" and other 'not-so-cheesy' slogans to all the senators. I want to focus on senators who are on the fence sending them 500-1000 teddy bears and about 100 for all others (except Durbin, I'll send him 1000).

Do you guys think this is a good idea? Also, I live in Southern Cali so do you guys think they check the from zip code? If so, I'll have to send them to D.C. and ship them from there.

I think its a great idea if you have the funds...You can send it from anywhere you want, you dont need to live in DC to send Senators correspondance

That is an excellent idea, however, it seems that the cost of the campaign might be a deterrent. Have you researched the cost, and if so, do you have the necessary funds?

We can send Vitter a Sex doll he can name it DC Madam

rock steady: Cost isn't that much of an issue, I can get these teady bears for $1 a piece and mail 500 for 30 senators or so.

dreamact1982: My question about the zip codes had to do with if you guys think that mailing an Ohio senator an item from southern california means much because it's coming from his constituents. I was thinking ahead that mailing them from DC might be more discreet.

americandream,

If the cost is not really an issue, and you want to do something like this, i would encourage you to do it this week if you can.. If you can let us know we will give you the list of Senators and their addresses.

if u have the funds i say go for it it couldnt hurt plus god knows what the opposers are sending this time

american dream,

I echo dreamact1982's sentiments. This week would be the week to do it.

They do not charm with their intellect, like us...they have only to send their pictures and scate evry senator...

I don't know what the lead time to order all these- I wish I had thought of that earlier. Most places are probably closed on Labor day so I will call and find out on Tuesday.
