My local church is conducting a national campaign to send postcards to all senators and congressmen concerning an other issue (Freedom of choice ACT). And I thought what a wonderful idea for the DREAM ACT.
The idea and point would be to supply all our supporters with an already made postcard. All postcards would be the same, with the same point...to VOTE YES on the Dream act bill and would have a clear message that we need this for our students future. Then after signing it, all our supporters would mail it to their senators and congressmen. I think if senators and congressmen that maybe don't see how important DREAM ACT is to us will have a change of mind after they receive hundreds of postcards all stating the same thing...PASS THE DREAM ACT!! And for those who already support DREAM it would be a reminder that we are still here, willing to fight for this issue. We need to let them know that we still care and we are still as passionate and hopeful for DREAM as ever!
The postcards would already be addressed and hopefully already stamped. All that our supporters would do is to mail it and provide a signature.
This is just an idea, and an alternative to writing letter or faxing or e-mailing. I will try to get this going as soon as possible but my funds are limited so if any of you know of anyone that might have the better means to do this let them know. I will be happy to design it!
I’m working on one right now to include in a packet I provide to people interested in supporting DREAM ACT!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe dream act postcards were already sent out to senators recently. This great idea was already mentioned in this thread, take a quick look. http://dreamact.info/forum/showthread.php?t=9183
