In an era of cell phones and email addresses, it isn't every day you can expect to get a handwritten letter in the mail — and for undecided voters in New Hampshire, the arrival of a personalized note might come as a touching surprise. At least that's the hope of Right to Rise, a super PAC supporting Jeb Bush:
In a preholiday mailer, [Right to Rise] thanked its supporters for their financial support, and asked them to make "a different kind of gift to Jeb by giving a few minutes of your time." The mailer included stationery and pre-addressed envelopes for five undecided voters in New Hampshire. It urged donors to dash off a quick missive explaining why Mr. Bush deserved their vote."We are asking you to personally reach out and let these voters know why you support Jeb," said the mailer, which also includes a sample note to send voters.
