Postcards to Swing States

[DarcyLongfellow]

Thanks to a post on here, I signed up to send postcards for Postcards to Swing States.

The deadline to mail is tomorrow, and I was just finishing up writing them and realized that I'm short 23 postcards. I tweeted them to ask what to do, but looking at their previous tweets they may not reply to me.

What would you do?? I might be able to find blank postcards somewhere and send the message on those?? I really wish I'd counted earlier.

I'd see if you can find some postcards somewhere that you could use! Or you could always grab some little note cards from Target and use those instead!

pugz, -- I ordered some generic get out the vote postcards on Amazon that will come tomorrow. If I don't hear back from them, I'll send those. I just don't want to mess up whatever message they're trying to send by sending the wrong card. But hopefully a postcard with the wrong picture on the front is better than no postcard!

Now I'm going to have about 70 extra postcards because I had to order 100 of them. So I'm trying to find someplace that still needs postcards written, lol.

They said in the letter that numbers may not be exact. I had 4 extra. If you want to do extra, just send blank ones otherwise you can't control that they didn't send enough.

Yes my letter said it’s ok to send the message on a different card.

Awesome, thank you!

I didn't do Postcards to Swing States specifically, but when I wrote postcards they let you use whatever design you wanted. In fact, they had tons of options on their site. I just bought the plain ones and printed my own.

I think it’s fine to use the amazon postcards. I was helping out a friend all weekend and she’s originally ordered blank ones from small businesses but we ran out and she had more overnighted from amazon. They were all pretty generic fronts. The important part is the message on the back.

Yes an email I got last week said to use generic cards.

I was short about a dozen. They said either in an email or on their FB that they were out of cards and that it's ok to use generic cards to cover and shortfalls. I bought a pack of generic "VOTE" postcards to finish the rest.
