I've forwarded the info to a few sites with no response yet, but persistence rules the day.

88 cents. You don't even have to waste the saliva, get your dog to lick the stamps.

I am working my way from the bottom up. I have probably contacted 25 sites so far. I will do the entire list today. I have some free time today. there are a few dead links, and I am passing on sites that look like they haven't been updated for awhile, but when all is said and done I will have contacted roughly 60-75% of the websites on the list.

[disorderlyvision]

Everyone who has a C4L account should write a blog about Operation Kickstart, and contact your state coordinators about it

A few of the replies I have received so Far:


Kevin
You've been added to our email list.
I'm not much into petitioning elected representatives.
See some of the articles at
http://www.voluntaryist.com/nonvoting/
for my non-voting attitude.

Sincerely,
Carl Watner


Thank you for the update - I will take a look and include in our next newsletter if appropriate - also, if you received our organization from a list of conservative organizations - please let me know the source - I would like to make other partners in the cause of freedom aware of our work and issues also!

I replied:

Thanks for the reply. I found your website through the list we maintain at the Liberty Forest forums: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=173700 there are tons of good websites listed. I am sure you could make plenty of connections through that list. I would also encourage you to sign up and post in our forums we have freedom lovers of all types. I am sure you could make many connections there as well.

Hi Kevin, Please send me a link when the campaign has launched so I can tell people about it.

Here are our resources at OpenCongress for the Fed Transparency bill:

Hi Kevin -- thanks so much for letting us know about the project, butsince the Cato Institute is a 501 (c) 3 organization (our tax status),we are not allowed to engage in political activism of the kind youdescribe. We are a research organization, so I hope you'll find some ofthe information on our website useful. Best of luck with your project.

Vice President for Communications
The Cato Institute

I replied:
Thank you for the reply. I understand your position, and am a fan of Cato. If you know of anyone who might be interested in doing it personally, and not in an official capacity with Cato, feel free to pass it on.

Thanks again for your time,

Kevin

I've been signed up for some time now....

Let's all pass this along. There's no reason we can't have at least a thousand letters landing on Pelosi's desk when she returns from her taxpayer-paid vacation.

Additionally, I'm going to fax my letter to her office in addition to the snail mail. A few phone calls might be a good thing, too! :)


Representative Nancy Pelosi contact info:

Washington D.C. Office:
Phone: (202) 225-4965
Fax: (202) 225-8259

San Francisco local office:
Phone: (415) 556-4862
Fax: (415) 861-1670


P.S. This isn't an ad, take it for what it's worth, but anyone who wants to send Pelosi a fax in addition to the U.S. Mail letter and send a fax for free and www.faxzero.com.

Whatever you do, though, make sure you send that stamped letter!! :D

[disorderlyvision]

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for writing. I can commit to writing two letters. Are there forms or boiler plate text we can use? Also, may I update my contact info? My email is

Come on, let's get those letter pledges bumped up!! If you've not signed up, now would be a great time!

How much easier can it be? Print, sign and stamp, nothing to it.

Anyone want to pledge?? :)

[liberalnurse]

Printed, signed, in envelope with stamp, ready to go on the 24th.

Thanks. We are working with the Audit The Fed coalition. You might want to coordinate with Michael Ostrolenk on this -- I gave his info to Erin Meadows.

I'm not sure why the letters aren't loading for you.... have you tried clicking on the letters link and opening them in a browser page? Do you have some sort of ad blocking software that might be messing it up?

I'm using Firefox and when I click directly on the letter link, it loads okay for me.

If you can't get it to load, please post again here.

[JoshLowry]

I will update pledge numbers late tonight. Have been traveling and away from a connection to the web.
