Letter Writing Tips

Remember, you don’t have to be a professional writer or expert to have a valid opinion. We encourage you to use your own words as newspapers are less likely to print any letter that appears to be organized by a campaign. We also ask that you copy your letter or BCC us so even if your letter is not printed we can we can collect the letters and present them to targeted public officials. This way your message can do twice the good, and decision makers will be confronted with the opinions of their active constituents.
