Do you want to help protect marriage equality in California and defeat marriage bills in Arizona and Florida? Do you know any voters in those three states?

Join the COLAGE Marriage Equality Postcard Campaign... Its easy and fun to remind your friends and family that their vote will impact your family.

1. Pick postcards to use. You can cut regular cardstock paper into fourths, pick out family photos that are postcard-sized, buy postcards at a local store, or use pre-made postcard paper that can be found at any office supply store.

2. Create your message. Keep it short and simple. Here is an example: Dear Uncle Ron. On November 4th when you go to vote please remember to think of me and my two moms. Prop 8 would take away our rights as a family. Vote No.

In California the bill is Proposition 8; in Arizona its Proposition 102 and in Florida its Florida Marriage Protection Amendment 05-10.

3. Decorate the front of your card. If you are using cardstock paper or blank postcards, use the front space to express yourself creatively. Use watercolors, crayons, collage or markers to draw a picture of your family, a message about equality or something about love.

4. Address the postcard and add standard postcard postage and put it in the mail. You should mail all postcards no later than October 31st to ensure that they reach the voters in your life before election day.
