What if everyone sat down for 5 minutes, and wrote out a note or card of about 5 sentences telling Sen. Obama how much he means to us, how he inspires us, how he has changed our lives and how we are counting on him to win this election, and mailed it to his campaign headquarters? It’d be nice if we could also include a check for five bucks or a five-dollar bill in it. If you aren’t comfortable writing, you could have your kids draw a picture or even copy a quotation that you find inspiring. Just reach out to the Senator and share some of your hope and inspiration with him.
I was really moved as a child by the scene in “Miracle on 34th Street” when the guys from the post office bring in all the mail for Kris Kringle and shower it on the judge’s bench. There is something very tangible about writing a note or card that you lose with the email process. That’s why I think it’d be nice to do it via postal mail. Imagine if Obama’s staffers brought him a steady stream of inspiring, handwritten notes from the heart for him to see – wouldn’t that help pump him up?
This will work best if it goes viral - so please pass on this link:

which contains the mailing address, details and a link to print out a donor form if you care to include a monetary contribution. But this isn't about the money -- it's about the hope. Let's give some back.
