How to write a good letter to the editor

via Not Geniuses

First, let's go over some information on how to write a good letter to the editor. The biggest thing is don't be insulting, don't collapse into partisan hysteria. Be calm and factual -- your viewpoint is right, you don't have to scream. Remember, the people who are going to be reading these are not the Freepers or the webmasters at Bush's website -- they are reporters and ombudsmen. Second, keep it short, 150 words or so. No one is going to print your manifesto, and we want these letters printed. Third, include your information. Newspapers won't print unless they can confirm that you're real -- put in your whole name, address, telephone number, city and state.

Follow all that and we should be good.

HERE'S THE BEST PART FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!! We get to use Bush's own system against him....How do you send?When you have finished your letter, go to George Bush's Action Center. Enter your zip code at the top of the page. Click "Get Info", and a list of newspapers in your area will appear. Choose one (try to keep it to just one newspaper, they sniff out mass emails, we want this to be what it is...a single letter from a citizen) newspaper (don't foget the smaller papers too) , then scroll down, put your letter and all your information in (remember to put ALL the information we mentioned above in the body of the letter or many newspapers will not print it also add you telephone number with your information in the body of the letter...just to be safe), scroll down and hit "Send Now". Allow yourself a little chuckle...

Go get 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
