To the Editor

Writing letters to the editor can be one of the most important and revolutionary actions that we are involved in. You are putting ideas in front of your neighbors that they haven't seen in their corporate controlled media. Not only that, you are standing up in front of hundreds or thousands of readers and proclaiming your belief in overcoming institutionalized racism and poverty for all working people in America. Writing a letter is an act of bravery, and that is what makes it so powerful.

Most newspapers limit your letter to 250 words. It is not worth writing longer letters unless you contact the editors of a particular publication for a "point of view" editorial. Be prepared for lots of obstacles in getting a this type of editorial published.

Don't send your letters to multiple newspapers in the same e-mail. Be sure to include you phone number for verification (won't be printed). Here are the links to send your letters to the editor; go for it...
