We urge Democrats to engage in the
political process year ‘round by calling, emailing and
writing your legislators and the media. Get the facts, hone
your argument, make your case.
If at least one Democrat in Lincoln County
each day writes a letter (or writes an email or makes a call)
we will achieve a Letter a Day from
Lincoln County. It’s that
simple!
This page lists contact information for
newspapers serving readers in Lincoln County, compiled
February, 2005, by Jerry Topinka.
Guidelines for Letters:
1. IMPORTANT: Include NAME, TOWN, PHONE
NUMBER and DATE.
2. Keep concise and to the point.
3. Letter length:
- Unless otherwise noted for
individual papers, no specific word limit.
- Shorter letters often get
published and appear sooner.
- Popular or general interest
subject letters may be longer.
- Contact editors in advance to
submit long letters, columns or op-eds.
- Strive to keep to under 300 words
4. Editors prefer E-mail, Webforms or Fax
submissions.
5. Some local papers will not accept
letters from other towns or counties.
6. Sign letters sent by traditional mail.
