Postcard Party - Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC)

Judiciary Committee members are very important to the success of our efforts.  ERA Joint Resolution S 262 will have to be voted through the Judiciary Committee before a vote can be taken on the House floor.  To check the ERA status of legislators within the Senate Judiciary Committee, click here.

The Goal:  Contact each SJC member, 3 Senate Officers, and your personal representative (look it up here) with 1 card per writer (26 cards per person).
The Math:  26 cards/person multiplied by # of attendees = # of cards needed (e.g. 26 x 10 = 260).
Postcard Stamps can be purchased in rolls at the post office —100 stamps = $40.00.
​Card Stock Paper in 8.5 x 11" sheets can be purchased and cut into postcard size (4 per sheet).
​Our ERA Postcard Template will give a unified look. Contact us if you'd like a personalized template for your group.

One Stop Shopping — at Staples
  1. Download the template onto your computer, and print a copy at home; or save it to your phone, and print a copy at the store. 
  2. Pick 8.5 x 11" card stock. Staples people will walk you thru the copier process.
  3. Allow sufficient time (probably overnight) to have Staples cut the paper to postcard size.
  4. Buy good quality pens (like BIC Velocity Bold) if you need them for contrast.

A word about the cost ...
Depending on the number mailed, finished postcards should cost $.05-.10 cents/each, plus postage, so $.45-.50/cents each in the mail.  Here are some cost sharing suggestions:
  1. Let participants know the cost ahead of time and suggest a contribution they could make. 
  2. Based on number of cards produced, ask 1 or 2 volunteers to bring stamps. A roll of 100 stamps is $40.00.
  3. Set out a tip jar for donations.
Our experience has been that anyone willing to do the writing is also willing to share the cost. Just ask them.
