If there is one thing I just honestly hate doing, it's hand writing. I would take typing for 8 hours versus writing for 2 hours ANY day. It makes my hands hurt. I unconsciously grit my teeth when I'm doing it. My whole arm and wrist tightens up. My writing is horrible. No one can read my writing. It takes a long time. Etc., Etc., Etc.,
But guess what I'm doing, and will be doing for the next few days? HAND-writing long letters. 40, to be exact. Each one takes about 10 minutes.
Why, you ask?
I'm writing individual letters to Iowans, urging them to support Ron Paul for president. Hand-writing individual letters.
With the Iowa caucuses coming up on January 3, there is no time to waste. The Ron Paul grassroots effort is majorly stepping up their efforts, and included is writing 700,000 individual letters to "undecided" or "no party" Iowans. I'm only doing 40, but there are people who have signed up for 500 of these letters.
The idea is that a hand-written letter is very personal in this day of everything electronic, and if we can reach 700,000 Iowans with a personal letter, they'll at least read it and consider what it's saying.
I should get going now... 3 down, 37 to go!
