If you are concerned about the apparent efforts to starve the United States Postal Service of the funds it needs to handle the upcoming influx of mail-in ballots, a text message can help.
On Twitter,@Resistbotis offering to send letters to representatives on your behalf through a quick text or direct message exchange.
(If youre like, wait, whats going on with the USPS, pleasetake a moment to go here and catch up.
I knoweverythingseems important right now, but this very well could impact the outcome of the election by leaving vast numbers of votes uncounted.)
Of course, you’re able to (and should) call your call your representatives, toohere is a simple script and directionsfor how to do that.
But an influx of letters cant hurt either, and it took only two minutes from start to finish to complete.To get started, simply:
Resistbotis a 501(c)4 that helps constituents send letters directly to their elected representatives and newspapers.
Heres the letter Resistbot submitted on my behalf (I was signer number 1,175,630 this morning):
To send your letter, youll need to provide your first and last name, your mailing address (to verify which senators and representative should receive your letter), and your email address to receive a confirmation code.
If providing that information makes you uncomfortable but you still want to support the USPS,buy some stamps; thats an easy way to give it a little influx of money now even if you dont need the stamps until later.
