Questions

How does this work?

Find your U.S. senators and representative by ZIP code, address, state, name, or a bill you care about. Select who to contact, write a message, pick a postcard design (or send a fax, or just call), and pay. We print and mail your postcard, or fax it straight to their office.

How much does it cost?

$3.00 for a postcard, $2.00 for a fax — no subscription fees or hidden charges. That covers printing and postage (or the fax transmission), payment processing, and running the platform. Calling your representative is free.

Where is the postcard delivered?

Postcards are mailed via First Class USPS to the representative's official congressional office address on record. For senators this is typically their Washington, D.C. office building (e.g., Hart, Dirksen, or Russell Senate Office Building). For House members it is their official House office on record.

How long does delivery take?

First Class USPS postcards typically arrive within 3–7 business days. However, all mail addressed to Washington, D.C. congressional offices goes through an off-site irradiation and security screening facility — a measure in place since the 2001 anthrax letters. This can add 7–14 extra days on top of normal transit time, so plan for up to 3 weeks for D.C. office delivery.

Does my postcard go through security screening?

Yes, if it is addressed to a Washington, D.C. congressional office. All Capitol Hill mail is processed at an off-site facility where it is irradiated and screened for hazardous materials. This is mandatory for all D.C. office mail and cannot be bypassed. The irradiation process does not affect the legibility of your postcard. Mail sent to a representative's district office in their home state does not go through this process and arrives on a normal postal timeline.

Why send a physical postcard instead of an email or phone call?

Physical mail carries more weight with congressional offices than digital messages. A postcard is tangible, personally signed, and requires real effort — staffers take note. It also supports the U.S. Postal Service with every stamp.

How does this help the USPS?

Every postcard you send is delivered by the United States Postal Service. Keeping real mail flowing is one direct way citizens can support the postal service's mission.

Can I upload my own postcard image?

Yes. When composing your postcard, you can upload your own photo or image to use as the front, or choose from eleven built-in designs.

Can I send the same message to multiple representatives?

Yes. Select as many representatives as you like and write one message for everyone, or a different message for each.

What content is allowed?

We reserve the right to decline to print or send messages that contain threats of violence, hate speech, harassment, or anything that violates federal, state, or local law. Our mail partner (Lob) and USPS regulations also prohibit threats and obscene material by law. What makes a good message: clear, specific, and civil. Tell your rep what issue matters to you, what you want them to do, and why. Personal stories carry more weight than form-letter language. Outrage is fine — threats are not.
