Emptied two boxes of envelopes. Ran out of flag stamps, fruit stamps, and manatee stamps. Had to resort to T-Rex stamps and Raven Story black and gold stamps. Missed the postal carrier with my most recent batch, will hit mailbox later. Envelope glue tastes nasty. #Vote #voteforward #votefwd #vote2024 #uspol
Going to the post office later today to drop off the 26 I've downloaded, written, addressed, and stamped since yesterday. #voteforward #votefwd #USpol #vote2024 #VoteBlue

Yesterday's batch of #voteforward letters is done. Gotta put the last six in the mailbox. I've downloaded another 20. I gotta go make tea.

Last batch of this #votefwd bundle is now in the hands of the Postal Service. So that's 35 sent so far.

Confession: at least three of those letters included some variant of 'also I am voting because I want the free sticker'.

Preparing a batch of letters to turn out registered voters in Michigan. I can imagine if I received a hand-written letter from a stranger I might consider voting if I otherwise wasn't planning to. Was easy to sign up and download letters to fill out via #VoteForward #VoteFwd
Just taking part in letter writing to Michigan voters to get out the vote! I used #votefwd and it looks like a great system for those looking to join in… #thebigsend #DoSomethingDay

As we close in on 1000 Vote Forward letters, I got a bit frustrated trying to track progress on the site. I made a little tool to help me, and maybe others.

I would once have documented this tool as a bookmarklet but nowadays it seems easier to just explain how to open a dev console and copy/paste the code. Bookmarklets still do work, but it's gotten harder to explain how to install them!
