Scottsdale Entrepreneur Announces $12,900 Offer for Anyone Wanting Their Political Opinions Heard
Paige Wheeler covers the costs to mail 10,000 First-Class Letters to elected officials and government leaders.
- Tucson, AZ (1888PressRelease) October 20, 2010 - Entrepreneur Paige Wheeler sees opinions as worthless talk unless they're heard by decision-makers who can do something about the suggestions.
"You Are the Recipient of a Purple Letter!"
In fact, she feels so strongly about her position that she's challenging anyone to voice their political concerns. Moreover, she's covering the costs to mail 10,000 first-class letters via the United States Postal Service to elected officials and government leaders - and anyone can write the letters.
"So many people complain about decisions elected officials make, yet they never take the proper action," said Wheeler, who recently launched the nonpartisan letter-writing service PurpleLetter.org (http://www.purpleletter.org). "We discovered just 4 percent of the population has contacted their representatives. Why complain about Obama, Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Michele Bachmann or others if you haven't had the courtesy to reach out to them like a civically responsible individual?"
Wheeler believes the best way to initiate change is through traditional letters because e-mails are too easy to lose or ignore. Her reasoning is backed by proof, as letters written using her PurpleLetter.org service have received responses from President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
For a limited time, new PurpleLetter.org members who use the promo code "MYCAUSE" at checkout can write up to two letters; select recipients from the continually updated database of more than 230,000 U.S. government representatives, public officials and media members; and get their first-class postage paid.
The two-letter credit (additional letters can be purchased) for first-time users can also be used to send the same letter to two people. Letters are mailed in double-window envelopes that read, "You Are the Recipient of a Purple Letter!"
The "MYCAUSE" code is only valid until the 10,000-letter limit is reached.
"PurpleLetter.org is the best way to get your voice heard because, in addition to going to recipients, letters can be posted in a letter gallery, making them accessible on the website and online search engines," Wheeler added. "Users also receive recipients' e-mail addresses and phone numbers for follow-up, and they can expand the letter's reach over time by copying media members, as well as through PurpleLetter.org's e-mail, Facebook and Twitter sharing tools."
A single letter mailed through PurpleLetter.org normally costs $1.29, making Wheeler's total investment $12,900 for stationery, database access and postage for 10,000 first-class letters.
