How do we get started?

This project has a lofty mission: we seek to send 1,000,000 hand-written letters to DEMOCRATS who have yet to endorse marriage for same-sex couples by December 31, 2009. We plan to target DEMOCRATS at all levels of government from city council members to President-Elect Barack Obama.

WHAT TO DO ASAP:

1. Write your own hand-written, personalized letter right now. Why hand-written? Because politicians (or their staff) actually read hand-written letters. Emailing elected officials may be better than nothing but barely. Why personalized? Because your own personal story is very compelling. Get personal in your letter! How does marriage inequality hurt you or your family or your lesbian older sister or your gay best friend or your grandchild? Finally, unequivocally state your support for "full marriage equality" and ask the elected official to state their support publically.

2. Scan and photocopy your letter. Email a copy of your letter as a PDF attachment to your supportive friends, family, and coworkers. Send an explanation of the One Million Letters for Marriage Equality Project and a link to this blog along with your email. Mail photocopies with similar information to supportive individuals who may not be good with computers. :)
