Why I am a Democrat

December 2, 2019 by votemelissasmith

Hardly anyone can sit with me for more than 30 seconds and fail to discover that I am a really enthusiastic Democrat. I am super-proud of our party platform, and I am really, really happy to be publicly listed among advocates of that platform in the voter rolls. This, by the way, is how I… Read more

I like all postcards, including the thousands I'm personally handwriting to voters in the district this winter briefly explaining what I mean by "Government is how we take care of each other," but "Happy Birthday, Democrat!" are the _most_ fun. And that little donkey with a party hat is _sooo_ cute! If you want to get in on writing birthday cards, https://forms.gle/nED6euykST5GV85Q7 If you want to help pay for postage: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/votemelissasmith [Image: Stack of stamped birthday postcards ready to go. The front has an image of cupcakes with sparklers on them instead of candles and text which reads, "Happy Birthday, Democrat! Thank you for your commitment to liberty and justice for all! Here's to another year!" The back has the campaign logo, printed text which reads, "Melissa will fight for Transparency in Government, Working Families, Social Justice, and Our Environment. Learn more and join the team at www.VoteMelissaSmith.com." Handwritten text reads, "Happy 50th Birthday! --Melissa" and "Be a Voter!" Just peeking out from from underneath another card is a donkey in a party hat next to the address lines.]

All I wanted on this trip home was one nice family photo, and we basically got it. [Image: Ben, Melissa, Everett, and wiggly family dog Ed on the farm.]

When you've written half of your handsewn thank you notes and realize that you've been dating them from the future (11/28/2020), it's time to take a break. Grateful to have so many to write. [Image: Kraft paper cards with paper peaches sewn on the fronts piled on a craft table.]

Campaigns cost $. My sweet son humbly asks for your contributions. I will also be calling you later. Any amount helps. Donate between now and Friday, 11/29, and I'll send you a very special thank you card with a real-life Peach State postmark! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/electmelissasmith [Image: Photo of Everett holding a button that reads "Votes for Women" against his cheek and smiling sweetly. The button was a gift from my neighbor Nancy who is both the best children's librarian ever, and who recently visited a woman's suffrage exhibit and thought of me and all my activities while there. Next to the photo, text reads, "Electing people costs a lot of money," followed by the name of the author, Campaign Veteran Everett Smith, who is 8 and knows a lot about what campaigns look like on the inside.]

On the long ride to the farm to visit family, I'm taking advantage of my husband's driving time to write notes to voters in my district. Hardly anyone votes in the September primary during a presidential year, so it's critical to get the message out early. Note: What is harder than writing postcards while riding in a car? Taking a photo of the action. [Image: Campaign postcards featuring a handwritten message which reads, "Dear [Voter Name], I believe that government should prioritize the health and well-being of people over all other concerns. Join me and we'll make government work for us. --Melissa"]

Getting silly at the hotel on the way to GA! [Image: Ev and Melissa sharing a hotel bed pillow after a long day of driving, and waiting, exhausted to giggly, for Daddy to return with a pizza.]
