Election Campaign 2010 -- Putting to Sea
8th March 2010 23:45 | by Peter Brett
As some of you will already be aware, on the 7th of March the NEC appointed me Deputy Campaigns Officer. I'm going to be responsible for running the Pirate Party's campaign for the upcoming General Election, working closely with the Campaigns Officer, Philip Hunt, and the rest of the NEC.
I can't tell you exactly what our Grand Strategy is going to be -- I've had less than a day to work on it so far! -- but I will give you an overview of what we're doing at the moment and how you can help.
Project Postcard: design chosen!

In my last post, I talked about my latest publicity initiative, Project Postcard. The response has been fantastic -- thank you all for your great support! I've had enough interest that I've now been able to place an order for 15,000 cards, and they'll start being sent out in the last week of February. If you haven't paid for your flyers yet -- or if you haven't even ordered any! -- you can now purchase them and provide your shipping details via the new Pirate Party shop.
There were several excellent entries for my competition for the postcard design, and in the end I decided to use a combination of two designs: crumble's eye-catching "Good ideas are made. to be copied" image on the front, and andrewtindall's explanation of the party's core principles on a "circuit board" background on the reverse.

Getting our message out
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.
