Newspapers - Letters to the Editor
It is important that we get a
pro-family point of view across to the rest of the community. Getting a
letter published in a newspaper is one effective way to influence public
opinion and to let our side of the story be heard.
We encourage all of you to become
letter writers.
Basic Rules of Letter Writing
- Never use attachments.
- Always include your full name,
address and telephone number.
- Keep it short.
- Stick to one topic at a time.
- Respond to an issue as soon as it
breaks or you will not get it in.
- Try to use humour, statistics, or
new information. Do not just repeat what some else has said.
- Always use your own words. Never
just copy and paste some else's arguments or letters.
- Never be abusive or rude. Always
be polite and civil, although a bit of satire or irony may help to make
your case.
