Field notes
The described flow starts with a postcard design and one message, then asks for a return address to identify relevant districts and representatives. The site lists recipients from Portland's city council and public schools through Oregon's governor, and says messages are screened before printing. Its cost explanation separates the roughly $0.91 printing-and-postage cost from Stripe fees and a small buffer.
