Print and hand it out

Physical materials. The everyday ammunition for tables, doors, mailboxes, and bulletin boards.
A

The one-page handout

The whole proposal on a single letter page — masthead, seat diagram, why it matters, what stays the same, dates, and a big QR. The everyday leave-behind.

Open print sheet
B

Business cards

10 cards per letter sheet (Avery 5371). Carry a dozen with you — every pause in a conversation is a chance to slip one to a neighbor.

Open print sheet
C

Half-sheet flyer

Two flyers per letter, cut or fold in half. Big "OPEN THE SEATS" headline, three facts, dates, a QR. Tape it at the library or Capital Brewery.

D

Door hangers

Three per letter sheet, with a doorknob-loop template. Walk a block, hang on doorknobs, no doorbell required.

E

Stickers

12 round 2.5" stickers per letter sheet — barn-red, cream, and scan-to-sign QR. Most viral asset per dollar; a sticker travels everywhere its owner does.

Open print sheet
F

Town of Middleton postcard

A 6.5"×9" postcard (the smallest USPS-eligible size) for direct-mail to Town of Middleton voters or print-at-home. Saves as a clean 9×6.5 PDF ready to upload to a mailer. Front: the 9-of-9 fact + QR. Back: a neighbor's note + address area.

Open print sheet
G

Town of Middleton door sign

A bold one-page sign for our Town of Middleton neighbors: of MCPASD's 9 seats, we can run for just one — Middleton & Westport has four, Cross Plains two — and our races go uncontested. Tape it to a door, post it, hand it over. Lands on "open the board."

H

Talk it through

When you're standing at a door, a sideline, or a coffee counter — and a real question lands.
I

Placard + circulator script

5.5"×8.5" tabletop placard with QR and a circulator cheat sheet — the 30-second pitch, common objections, the §8.40 certification reminder.

Open print sheet
J

Circulator field FAQ

Two-page, double-sided field reference for hard questions — including the Cross Plains "won't Middleton just take over?" worry. Fold into your clipboard.

Doorstep conversation guide

How to talk with a neighbor who feels they're losing a seat. Curiosity-first questions, tailored answers, graceful ways to end early.

A straight answer for Cross Plains

The smaller community's fair worry — "won't Middleton take the open seats?" — answered head-on. Hand to a skeptical neighbor.

Open the brief
M

For the City of Middleton

The companion brief for the largest community in MCPASD — answering "won't we lose representation?" with the trust-the-voters argument. Hand to a Middleton neighbor who hesitates.

Send it out

For your feed, your group chat, your PTA list — and the people who shouldn't hear about this through the rumor mill.
O

Social share kit

Pre-written copy for Facebook, NextDoor, a text to a neighbor, an email to a PTA. Plus three 1080×1080 graphics you can screenshot and post.

Open share kit
P

Email the board

Three email templates for reaching out to MCPASD board members directly — one default, one for personal connection, one for specific thanks.

Open templates

Every petition that ever changed a community's structure started with a flyer at the library, a card at the coffee counter, and a conversation at the door. Whatever you take from this page is the campaign.

Printing tips. On any print sheet, hit Ctrl/Cmd + P → choose Save as PDF if you want to take it to FedEx Office, or print directly if you have cardstock at home. Use Letter size, portrait orientation, and turn on Background graphics in More Settings so the cream paper and red accents come through.
