Write a Letter to the Editor (LTE)
This is one of the best ways to spread our message and build our movement. Newspapers don't print all the letters they receive, but they usually do try to represent an accurate ratio of the differing views they hear. That means the more GSP letters they get, the more will get printed. So get everyone you know to write too, early and often. Here are some tips to get you started.
Reference a recent article: If possible, it is best to include a reference to a recent article that appeared in the newspaper you've selected and then write your letter as a response, building on what was printed or pointing out how your viewpoint isn't included. This greatly increases the likelihood that your letter will be printed.
Include your contact information: Most newspapers will only print a letter to the editor after calling the author to verify his or her identity and address. Newspapers will not give out that information and will usually only print your name and city should your letter be published.
Be clear and concise: Keep your letters brief and to the point. Newspaper editors often edit for length, so try to keep your letter to less than 250 words (or observe the limit of the publication you’re writing for). The shorter it is, the more likely it will be printed.
State your point early: Be sure to state your main point in the subject line and in the first sentence of the letter.
Keep to one topic: Keep your letters focused on one subject.
