LETTER TO THE EDITOR PROJECT
The Manistee County Democratic Party is setting up a Letter to the Editor writing Project. Every Monday a Messaging MEMO is distributed by the Michigan Democratic Party LTE Program and specifically, the 101st District Committee. Members of the four counties in the 101st will all be writing letters based on these talking points to provide a unified message throughout the district.
We need your help to keep democratic good news in the forefront, and hold republicans feet to the fire. The research is done for you. Just put pen to paper. If you are interested, please contact Peggy Raddatz at peg.raddatz@gmail.com.

POSTCARD CREW
Want to get involved? Want your voice heard in a meaningful way? Join the Postcard Crew!
Many of you have participated in postcard writing projects to support a variety of political concerns. Numerous studies have shown that handwritten postcards are an effective tool for influencing views and behaviors.
No doubt we will need to quickly address concerns as they arise. A Postcard Crew on standby would be an effective way to do that. When a lot of postcards, all speaking to the same issue, are received en masse they will get more attention.
Everyone in the Postcard Crew can use whatever postcard they choose and mail them individually.
Handwritten postcards usually get more attention. Be sure to sign your name and city or township.
(We want to emphasize that elected officials only pay attention to those who can vote for them.)
The Manistee County Democratic Party will send out alerts to the Postcard Crew when we need to call out Republican legislators. We can then bombard them with postcards objecting to their actions.
Fran Wallace and Mary Ortiz will track legislation from and about VanderWall and O’Malley. They decided that Mary will concentrate on Jack O’Malley and Fran will concentrate on Curt VanderWall.
They are going to start by looking at bills that have been referred to the committees of which Jack and Curt are members.
They will summarize the bills and why the Postcard Crew should express support or opposition to those bills.
If you want to join the Postcard Crew, please contact Peggy Raddatz @ 231-510-3726 or peg.raddatz@gmail.com. The more the merrier and the greater the impact we can have.
