I sent (yet) another letter-to-the-editor today - asking for
the impeachment and ticking off all the items as to why he should be.

I hope to see more and more of these types of 'letters' in the papers soon.

1. I'll send one to magazines today

Even if it doesn't get printed, Time and Newsweek tend to count the number of letters they get on important issues and then report it. Volume counts.

2. Good - the "I" word needs to get out into the mainstream lexicon now.

3. Great info that...
How does that work? Do you write a hard copy to the editor or what?


I LOVE to write so this would be a great outlet for my passion while getting some important info across.

(I'm NOT a "writer", just like to let it rip in text)

4. You can send them via e-mail
Don't make it too long for Newsweek or Time. Few words with a potent punch will get their attention.

7. My paper - the San Francisco Chronicle prefers to have their
letters-to-the-editor submitted by e-mail. They have a link on their website to do that.
Check with your paper - or any paper in this country.

Go for it. It's very cathartic.
