Hey Americans,
Last night, I had some friends over to write to our representatives.
These issues are ones that our Postcard Writing Party found worthy of writing about. Feel free to copy them, but it’s best if you use your own words. Some are a bit long for a postcard, so write small or edit it down to the key points of your concern and what action you would like taken.
Remember, always be polite and respectful, using their honorary prefix titles, even if you don’t feel them in your heart of hearts. Please sign with your real name and include your zip code.
And, hey, if you disagree with the topic or the statement, that is your right. Feel free to write the opposite to your own representative. I respect your voice, and hope you respect mine. Let’s all Love America and aim for a better future together.

RE: DAPL Protestors being
Director James Comey
FBI Headquarters

Dear Director James Comey,
I am concerned to hear that the joint terrorism task force of the FBI is investigating activists from the DAPL. I believe that this constricts the rights of citizens to protest, and can invoke a state of fear that undermines our freedom.
Please stop this program’s involvement, so we citizens can feel safe in speaking out and protecting our water rights.
Sincerely,
Name

Dear State Treasurer Tobias Read,
I am writing with concern for the sale of the Elliot State Forest. I hear you’re obliged to the schools. I believe it is far more important that this land is conserved for these children’s future enjoyment, rather than undersold to private loggers. Please honor your campaign promise and revoke your vote.
Thank you,
