In defense of women.
A postcard advocacy campaign.
I have a dream that someday our society can learn to recognize and acknowledge the woman, above all others, possesses the situational awareness, and the moral, ethical, and legal standing to decide the future of the growing life within herself.
I myself can never figure out how/why people can be so cold and ruthless as to deny a woman those fundamental dignities, though I’ve spent decades trying. As a man with wife and children and grandchildren, including caretaking infants and toddlers, whom I get along with quite well I might add, it matters to me that there’s been so much manufactured misunderstanding.
That’s why I've taken the challenge to refine my personal argument “In Defense of Women”.
It took a while, you know how it goes, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, now after 250@v.1 (Nov 6, $109) and 1000@v.2 (Jan 24, $155). I do believe v.3 finally says all I want to share, as concise and well as I can. Last month I ordered up 2,000 postcards (at $220). Postage Stamps $0.53@ to send. Although they'll also make great handouts at certain events. I make no claim on the text and welcome anyone to copy and reuse, or rework, as they see fit.
Now I’m hoping, I’m asking, I’ll even plead, for some help with purchasing postage stamps so I can broadcast these thoughts, by sending out these postcards in defense of a women's right to self defense and sovereignty over her own body.
I’m starting to address the postcards, first to various woman’s organizations, followed by Democratic Party county offices in key states, various reporters and news agencies, among others, (Help with some stamps and I’ll send them to any addresses you may suggest.). After the election I want to send one to all 119th Congressional US Senators and Representatives. With a little luck, add some ammo to the coming debates.
I may be a man of big dreams, but also one of modest means. Without help from some people who support these values I’m striving to share, the postcards will only be trickling out. Please help me turn up the volume.
If we aren’t changing minds, we are losing.
Thank you, Peter Miesler
