The mission of 'Postcards to the President' is to create an effect: thousands upon thousands of personalized American voices speaking directly to our newly appointed and inspirational leader, demanding equality.
Nearly 15,000 postcards have already been sent demanding the president take action to repeal the so called Defense of Marriage Act which prohibits federal recognition of married same-sex couples. The groups goal is to have 20,000 sent by the end of this year!
Get involved as an individual, school/class, church and/or community organization.

Project Postcard - LGBTQ Community to Obama
President-elect Barack Obama has made a lot of promises to the LGBTQ community. We have to make sure he follows through. What better way to do it than to send him a friendly little reminder? Here's what you do...
BUY A POSTCARD - It would be great if it had the name of your city or state on it, but feel free to get creative. Make your own, use one that you have around the house, or grab a free one at your local restaurant. Heck, why not get a bunch of different ones? The more, the better.
ADDRESS IT - A handwritten card is always best, but feel free to print out labels if you're going to send multiple cards. Here's the address...
President-elect Barack Obama
Presidential Transition Office
Kluczynski Federal Building
230 S. Dearborn St., 38th Floor
Chicago, IL 60604
WRITE A MESSAGE - A unified message would be ideal. Let's keep it focused. I recommend something like this...
Dear President-elect Obama,
Please ask Congress to repeal D.O.M.A.! All Americans should have the right to marry. Thank you in advance for advocating for the civil rights of your LGBT citizens.
SIGN YOUR NAME - There is nothing more powerful than that.
BUY POSTAGE AND DROP YOUR POSTCARD(S) IN THE MAIL - Wasn't that easy? Repeat frequently.
The image I posted of a gay ally postcard is an idea, but any postcard will do, it is the message and wording that is key.
