Simple Action Request: Send a Postcard to Governor Sununu Asking for Honest, Competitive Voting Districts

Open Democracy Action is asking you to send a single postcard to Governor Chris Sununu to keep his word and oppose the rigged House, NH Senate, Executive Council and Congressional maps. He spoke last week to WMUR and said the Congressional maps need to be fixed, but the NH Senate is particularly bad, and the proposed Executive Council map still features the “dragon” District 2. We expect the full NH Senate to vote on at least some of these bills on February 17, so the postcard should be mailed by next Wednesday, February 9. We want to see a blizzard of postcards going to the Governor next week!

This Google Doc has further instructions, with links to printable postcards (your cardstock needed), suggested messages, the address, and other helpful informationhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1X3YdfwhF0X2jwRkDlEBC0iO7fuKZxo_tY2x6c9JERDw/edit?usp=sharing

Fair redistricting is good for EVERYONE. Competitive voting districts keep candidates and legislators responsive to YOU, keep turnout levels up, and keep our democracy vital — not rigged elections with a predetermined partisan outcome.

Use any Postcard or NotecardYou don’t have to use our printable postcard. You can use any postcard or note card you have around the house. What’s important is the message and the timing!
