Helping get out the vote in Georgia

Ellen signed us up to send letters to Georgia to help get out the vote in the January run-off election for two Senate seats. So today we mailed fifty letters to Democratic residents of Lawrenceville, GA, a NE suburb of Atlanta. The letters had the letterhead of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party (which was also the return address of the outer envelope). The letters were supplied, but we had to sign them, add a personal, hand-written note, fold the letter, include an Application  for Absentee Ballot Form (which had to be folded), and an envelope to put the form into; address the envelope, stuff it with the packet, stamp it (stamps supplied by us) and seal it. Ellen signed, wrote the note and addressed the envelopes, and I did all the folding, stuffing, stamping and sealing. We were fascinated by the names of the recipients (very diverse in background), and we had fun looking up addresses and seeing the homes people lived in on Zillow. Good job done!

Letters ready to be mailed
