Tomorrow's the day. In case you missed it here's Joe's original post:



    THE IDES OF TRUMP

    ON MARCH 15TH, 2017 MAIL THE WHITE HOUSE A POSTCARD THAT PUBLICLY EXPRESSES OUR VOCAL OPPOSITION TO ACTIONS OF THE NEW PRESIDENT..

    We will strive to show the man, the media, and the politicians how vast our numbers are and we will bury the White House post office .

    Each of us — every protester from every march, each Congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — will write a single postcard and put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, 2017.

    -Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We're setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day.

    So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and write from the heart. All of our issues — DAPL, women's rights, racial discrimination, religious freedom, immigration, economic security, education, the environment, conflicts of interest, the existence of facts — can and should find common cause. That cause is to make it irrefutable that the president's claim of wide support is a farce.

    How to participate:

    1. Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Create your own cards, buy them, share them, it doesn't matter as long as you write #TheIdes or #TheIdesOfTrump on them somewhere.

    2. If possible, take a picture of your cards and post them on social media (tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump or #TheIdes, please). This will help us verify our numbers.

    3. Spread the word! Everyone on Earth can let Washington know their opinion of the President. They can't build a wall high enough to stop the mail.

    4. Then, on March 15th, mail your cards to: The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500



    WHEN DO WE MAIL OUR POSTCARDS?
    We ask everyone to mail their postcards on the same day — March 15, 2017. They will arrive in a wave over the next days and weeks.

    WHICH POSTCARD AND/OR MESSAGE SHOULD I USE?
    We leave that up to you. This event is INCLUSIVE. We want everyone — regardless of which issue or issues concerns them most — to be part of this postcard campaign. Some will send pink postcards, others will focus on immigration, or environment, or any number of other issues that are ALL important.

    We invite people to write personal messages, by hand, from the heart. While mass-produced or computer-produced postcards are also welcome, handwritten cards accentuate the number of people behind this campaign.

    Please DO write #TheIdes or #TheIdesOfTrump somewhere on each of your postcards, If you can, take a photograph of it, and post the picture to social media.

    Please DO NOT write or depict anything violent or encouraging of violence. (e.g., maybe we shouldn't mention what happened to Caesar..... -Joe-)

    SHOULDN'T WE PICK ONE ISSUE TO WRITE ABOUT?
    While everyone writing about one cause would certainly send a more concentrated message, the goal of this campaign is to bring people together in opposition, regardless of which cause they feel is most important. All over the world, people are expressing grave concerns about the directions in which this administration is taking America and the planet. We want all of those people to be part of The Ides of Trump.

    WHO'S BEHIND THIS EFFORT?
    Someone had the idea and others stepped up to help, but millions of postcards need to be written by millions of people, or none of it matters.

    WHAT IS THE POSTCARD COST?
    Use one first class mail stamp

    DO I NEED TO INCLUDE A RETURN ADDRESS?
    No. Postcards do not require a return address. We do not recommend including your actual return address.



In other words, if you're thinking of getting a very nice nun mad, think twice....

What will YOU write on your postcard?
