   Letters to Editors : How to Write & Send


Read Letters>>

The Sacramento County Taxpayers League is organizing an online letter-to-the-editor campaign, in order to increase public awareness of government issues.

You can write and send a letter to California newspapers directly from this page.

Letters are taken more seriously if they are written individually, we are asking that you write your own letter in your own words rather than supplying you with a pre-written form letter. The more personal your letter is, the more influence it has. Say what's on your mind and in your hearth. use your own words, don't think you have to write like an expert to have influence.

Be brief, clear and specific. Stick to no more than 250 words or less if possible.

First, pick one issue (like taxes, water, energy, transportation or education) that you feel strong about and use it as the basis of your letter.

IMPORTANT: Please include your name, address, and day time telephone number and e-mail address at the end of your letter. This information is requested by newspapers in case they need to contact you, and some newspapers will not print a letter that doesn't allow them to verify that you are the sender.

Second, Compose your letter and send it (you can compose your letter in your word processing software program, like WordPerfect or Word and copy copy and paste).

Look up your local daily newspaper using the pull-down menu below, then click on the Go button.

Sacramento County weekly or monthly newspapers
