PALO ALTO — Stephanie Grossman knows a thing or two about hosting political parties.

But the lifelong Democrat has never seen anything quite like the Ides of Trump, a nationwide postcard writing campaign intended to put the president on notice that his services are no longer needed.

On Tuesday, Grossman threw open the doors of her Palo Alto home for nearly 12 hours and saw more than 500 people file in to fill out more than 4,000 postcards, she said.

“I’ve been doing political parties in my house for years,” said Grossman, who is in her 80s. “I’ve had Howard Dean here. I’ve had Barbara Boxer here. I’ve had Russ Feingold here. All sorts of people. But I have never had a turnout like this.”

“Liar,” proclaimed one postcard. Others implored Trump to defend a woman’s right to choose, while some demanded that he release his taxes and explain his alleged ties to Russia.

Eviction filings by big U.S. landlords surged after President Trump issued ban “You name the issue and they’ve been writing them,” said Grossman.

Access to affordable healthcare is among Grossman’s top concerns about the Trump administration.

“I don’t believe that anybody should go bankrupt or die because they don’t have medical insurance,” said Grossman, adding that she recently used Medicare to cover a life-saving surgery and wouldn’t know what to do if she lost it.

“You pick a letter of the alphabet,” she added, “and I’ll find you a reason why I did this.”

Grossman said the Ides of Trump, a play on the Ides of March, serves the dual purpose of letting the White House know just how unhappy many Americans are with the president and invigorating the Democratic Party to retake the Senate in 2018.

“If we really do bury the White House in post cards, I think that sends a message that people are really concerned,” she said. And, “I think it gives the people who want to do something an avenue.”

The postcards were dropped in the mail Wednesday.

The Santa Clara County Republican Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the postcard writing campaign.

Amidst all the hubbub in her home, Grossman said she did not get a chance to fill out a postcard. And nearly all the supplies were gone by the time she could even consider it. But if she gets the chance, she said she would ask the president to stop lying.

“He says ‘believe me’ all the time and that’s because he knows he’s lying,” said Grossman, who then joked, “other than that, I love him.”
