HR669 - Another Idea

ArtInScales Apr 12, 2009 04:26 PM

I was trying to think of other ways I could do more to get the word out and get more support in defeating this proposal. I felt that just telling people about this wasn't enough. Given the fact that we have such little time to act, I simply copied the sample letter into a word document and sent it to a copying company. I asked them to make 1000 copies for me. Within a few hours, these "ready-to-sign" letters were in my hands.

I called the two local reptile stores and asked them for their permission to place these letters in their shops. They were more than willing to help. In one day, I was able to get over 100 signed letters in my hands!!! When they signed the letter, I simply asked them to include their return address as well. This way I can put all of their information on the envelope.

I will be taking on the responsiblity of getting these letters into envelopes and addressed to the subcommittee members. I will send these letters to Tom Wolfe so he can distribute them.

I believe if others do this as well, we can flood the subcommittee members with enough letters to make an impact.

I'm mailing my letters tomorrow and I printed flyers that lead to the NR669 opposition website. Gonna pass those out/leave them around my college tomorrow.
