The Million Postcard March: Changing the World One Stamp at a Time

Portland, Oregon-2007-Local artist and grass-roots activist, Brian Steinberg, is on a one-man postcard-writing campaign. To achieve his goal of putting impeachment back “on the table” for President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, Steinberg created handmade postcards with a pro-impeachment message and sent them to every Democratic member of Congress.

“I was frustrated by what was happening in the government and I wanted my voice to be heard. The postcards were inspired by the posters I saw at protest rallies. I thought, wouldn’t it be great if I could send one to my congressperson. Then I thought, why stop there? So I decided to create and send a postcard to every Democrat in Congress, 231 in all.”

Steinberg has completed all of the postcards and has since mailed them. The finished work can be viewed on the website, PostcardProtest.com. He will also post any reply-letters he receives from Congress on the site.

Steinberg’s hope is that a congressperson will see and read his postcards and champion action towards impeachment. “At the very least, I think that it would be great if a staff- person sees my card and keeps a record of it on file. I have read that some congresspersons keep letters on file and refer to them before weighing in on an issue.”

Steinberg has also written an instructional booklet on how to create your own postcards for social and political campaigns. You can contact him via email for a free digital version.
