Original Postcard Campaign

General Information

As part of a grass roots movement to try to save the HBO series “John From Cincinnati” a monad postcard campaign was suggested. As a service to this end, I found an environmentally friendly printer, GreenPostcards.com, who gave us a very good deal. As of 04 Sept 2007 we collected $448 which turned into 828 postcards! Our printer will be mailing 10 postcards every business day which means HBO will be receiving postcards every day through mid-November… which is the same time that the major online petition (6100+ signatures) will arrive at HBO.

As an additional tribute to the show, we decided to go with two postcard designs. The most voted for single monad (#6 single round “Somethings…”) being mailed first, and the most voted for group monad (#1 group oval) being mailed after that. Our wonderful printer, Alfonso, at GreenPostcards.com, will be mailing approximately 12 postcards a day. Given the number of cards to be mailed, the last of the campaign cards will be mailed to HBO the end of October/early November 2007… about the same time as the largest online petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/johnfromcincinnati/).

Postcard & Teddy Bear Campaigns

Another postcard campaign took a slightly different approach… Their cards were a bit more expensive but that was made up for by their larger size. Their message was simple… “HBO Don’t Dump Out”.
Additionally, they worked with a manufacturer and created teddy bears wearing monad t-shirts. These were also sent to HBO headquarters in NY. At current count they have sent 400 Postcards and 168 Bears.
