grassroots get-out-the-vote letterwriting party TONIGHT!

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

The fabulous chhotii and I are hosting a letter-writing party, a grass-roots effort to try to increase voter participation, using addresses and materials provided by Mainstreet Moms Oppose Bush (http://themmob.com/).

When: Thursday, September 23, from 7:30 pm until... ?

Where: 161 Willow Avenue #2, Somerville

What: Write letters to potential voters in 2 swing states (Nevada and Oregon), begging them to register before the deadline passes.

Why: Every vote matters... in THOSE states.

How: We provide names and addresses, sample letters, stamps, voter-education materials, and a fun social atmosphere; you write letters; we mail them.

We will have some snacks and beverages on hand. Take-out food orders will be put in at some point. Feel free to bring your own munchies, to share or not.

Allergen alert: Two friendly cats in residence. Don't forget the meds.

Registration deadlines in most states are rushing up. Join us in our efforts to keep Nevada and Oregon from turning into 2004's version of Florida!

That was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for organizing and hosting it. I'm glad I could make it--it's nice to feel like I did something besides just throwing money at the problem.
