And your favorite non-profit could be the big winner!

December 1, 2009 (Santa Ana, CA) – Last week, we told you that a big surprise was in store for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez's annual holiday cards this year. After years of mailing cards to constituents, friends, and family, Loretta is doing something different this year - she is going green with her holiday card!

Rather than print thousands of cards this year, Loretta will instead make donations to Orange County non-profits in need by sponsoring a holiday donation competition.

"In light of these tough economic times and given the continued focus on climate change and the need to do more to protect our environment, there was no question that for the first time ever, the right thing for me to do this year was to go green with my holiday cards," said Sanchez. "Those who typically receive my cards will still receive my card, only this year they will receive an electronic version. And with the money we normally spend on printing and mailing the cards, my campaign will give donations to needy non-profits in Orange County through a competitive application process."

If it’s the holiday season it must mean that Capitol Hill is waiting to see what Rep. Loretta Sanchez’s Christmas card will look like this year.

For 2009, the Santa Ana Democrat has a new twist. She’s going high tech and is going to send an email to folks who sign up on her campaign web site to let them know what the new twist will be with this year’s card.
