Postcard Messaging



House Joint Resolution H 3258 was sponsored by Representatives Gilda Cobb-Hunter and Spencer Wetmore.

Senate Joint Resolution S 262 was sponsored by Senator Margie Bright Matthews.

Messaging:

The Salutation for House members should be “Representative” last name.
​The Salutation for Senators should be "Senator" last name.
​
Suggested message to a legislator who is a sponsor might be:
      "Thank you so much for sponsoring the ERA. I support equal rights for all!."

If your legislator is a sponsor, something like:
      "I am a constituent, and I thank you for supporting the ERA. What can I do to help?"


Generic messages to either Chamber to those yet to sponsor:
  • "I support equal rights and I vote. Please support the ERA!"
  • "24 Words for Equality. Please ratify the ERA!"
  • "South Carolina women, girls and families need the ERA. Vote YES!"
  • "I believe in equality for all, and I believe in the ERA!"
You could add the resolution numbers (S 262 and H 3528) as well.

A couple of tips we learned along the way:
  1. Complete one postcard to show correct placement of information —​ stamp in the upper right, recipient address in the lower right. The Postal Service may return to sender if their address placement is not followed.
  2. You may want to do current sponsors first to keep the message consistent.
  3. Suggest writers bring return labels if they have them (placed in upper left corner) to ease up on writing.
  4. ​Provide good pens for good readability.​
