Letters to the Editor

We encourage all supporters to write letters to the editors of their local newspapers in support of Tim D’Annunzio for Congress! It will take the work of conservatives like you to help send Tim to Washington, DC. Below you will find links and addresses to your local newspapers, as well as tips for writing an effective letter.

Please send a copy of your letter to info@timvote.com, and we will be sure to post it on our website.

Tips for Effective Letters

�
1. Be Concise. Keep your letter to under 200 words. If it is too long, your most important point may be cut. Newspapers reserve the right to edit letters before publication.
2. Make timely comments. If you are responding to an article or opinion piece, submit your letter as soon as possible. What matters to an editor now, may not matter next week.
3. Focus. The first sentence of your letter should explain why you are writing. Make it as easy as possible for the editorial staff and readers to understand the purpose of your letter.
4. State your point. Following your opening sentence, try to summarize your issue/argument, correction, or additional information in the next sentence.
5. Target your audience. Be sure to submit your letter to your local paper. Use local examples where possible.
6. Use plain language. Easy-to-understand language ensures your message will not be misunderstood.
7. Close Strong. Use your last sentence to make a strong statement.
8. Check. Proofread and check your spelling. Also review the guidelines for each newspaper to ensure that your letter conforms.
