We're Under Construction!!!

The democratic primary election is becoming heated, and the bitterness is trickling down to the masses. Postcards, Not Pitchforks is a grassroots effort started by Obama supporters who believe that our behavior will have a significant impact on the nomination. We think that superdelegates care deeply about Obama's coattails, and we want to demonstrate his ability to attract new voters, new candidates, and future support to the Democratic Party. If we become angry and act like peasants with pitchforks, we do not look like a trustworthy base. 

Please join us in telling the party elders that endorsing Obama will give them support they can count on!

We ask all Obama supporters to participate in positive letter-writing campaigns. The message that we want to get across is that we are engaged in the political process because of Obama, and that we are likely to remain engaged -- and will support Democrats in other offices, as well. Tell them that choosing Barack Obama is good for the Democratic Party.

We have a number of directed letter-writing suggestions. Please see the links in the naviagation bar for details:

1) Send postcards to your superdelegates -- but please mind the caveats listed on our site. (Caveat link removed as part of construction.)

2) Send email to the DNC. Donate, if possible.

Support Democratic candidates at all levels!

3) Send email to the DCCC. Donate if you can. If you are willing, offer to volunteer to help with your local congressional campaign. Be sure to say that that Obama inspired you to do so.

4) Send email to officials in the DSCC. Donate, if possible.

5) Support your state Democratic Party (links coming as part of construction.)
 
Each of the projects here requires a varying degree of effort -- some will take only a few minutes, and others take a significant amount of time. Choose according to your ability. We try to have something for everyone who wants to lend a hand.

But, please remember that our positivity makes Obama a more attractive candidate, and our personal effort makes a big impact.
