Project Postcard

The election is fast approaching, and the time has come to really press on with raising our profile.  All our members need to be doing their part if we're going to make an impact on the UK political landscape. I personally have been aiming to do something meaningful & constructive for the party every day -- and I recommend to you all to make a similar commitment. Even little things can make a real difference.

One way you might be able to help is to get involved with my 'Project Postcard' initiative. I'm shortly going to be ordering a few thousand professionally-produced postcard-like flyers, printed with information on who we are and what we stand for, as well as details of how to find out more.

 

Firstly, I can't distribute 10,000 cards by myself -- but you can sign up in this forum thread to receive a few hundred cards to hand around your local area. Give them to your friends. Give them to your enemies. Put them up on village notice boards, and in shop windows. Ask internet cafe owners to display them, and arrange to make them available in your local library.

Secondly, you can help with the design of the card. I'm offering a free PPUK t-shirt (once they're finally on sale!) for the best design. Budding graphic designer and want to show off? Full of ideas for grabbing peoples' attention and interest, and been waiting for the opportunity to try them out? This is your chance. For full details of the competition, see this forum thread.

The deadline for signing up to receive cards, and for the competition, is 8th February 2010.

Get keen. Get involved. Make a difference. Free our culture.

Update: Now available to buy at http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/shop/.
