As requested, I'm putting the NEWLY UPGRADED instructions for this #ProtectMueller #Resistance project into a text format. This covers 1) why bother doing this, 2) how to find the donors' addresses on the FEC website, and 3) how to send a postcard to your list of donors.
1/ We’re getting close to a constitutional crisis here, so we really need to try something new to stop this. Of course, keep calling Congress–but it’s become painfully obvious that the GOP–the people with the power to stop this–only respond to their base and their donors.
2/ So we’re going to speak to their masters & send a BLIZZARD of postcards to their big donors to remind them what is at stake before we reach a point of no return, before Trump crosses the Rubicon (just Google it) #Indivisible #PostcardsToDonors #PostcardsToVoters #TheResistance
3/ Why donors? There are fewer of them, they’ve already bought access, they are more persuadable than your average redhat, and thanks to the FEC, we have their addresses. Now, here’s the first of many reminders: when you write to these people, be kind and keep it short.
4/ Do not make any threats. Just asking nicely is enough to acknowledge their power as donors and remind them of their responsibility to help us maintain the stable democracy that their plush lifestyles depend on. Any other implication can be left to their imaginations.
5/ Let's go! Part One of this project: Get the Donors' Addresses. Here’s the upgrade: Instead of digging around the FEC site, fill out our request form: goo.gl/forms/5HpQDSLY… & we’ll send you the file in a format ready to be uploaded to the postcard ordering site. Easy-peasy.
6/ Part Two: How to order postcards online that will be printed with your message and mailed to your list of donors. Go to easylettersender.click2mail.com/select-a-desig… This is a low-cost option with a relatively simple interface from a USPS affiliate.
7/ Choose a cover image (default image or blank would work). Then add your 150 word message. Again, be nice; writing a letter is a “good cop” job. Include an “ask”-- who you want them to contact and what you want them to request #ProtectMueller, #ImpeachTrump, etc.
8/ You should also include a message that reminds them what they have at stake, that their lifestyle depends on the stability provided by the rule of law. Firing #Mueller, suppressing protests, declaring martial law, suspending elections would all severely disrupt that stability.
9/ Next, complete the form, entering your return address and changing the small picture if you want. Click “Add recipient addresses” then “Import list” to upload your formatted donor list file. Click “Save.”
10/ Click “Proof & finish” to double-check your work. If it looks good, click “Approve the proof” then “Check out” and proceed to fill out the rest of the order form as you have on hundreds of other websites.
11/That's it! If you still need help you can watch the how-to video at or send me a DM with your questions.
PS1/ If you feel this idea is especially clever and/or useful, please RT to help us spread the word. Not everybody can physically get out and join the protests. This is something different that they can do to help. #TheResistance #PostcardsToDonors #PostcardsToVoters #Indivisible
