(Thanks for finding & posting it, Gloria! I'm new to DU -but not to Activism, as you can see from the many activism tips and links on my blog, and so I couldn't post a message yet)

2. Please help raise visibility of this Activism Tool

Btw, please post replies to this post, with extra suggestions to write good LTE's, samples of LTE's you wrote or found published, or other comments on the topic (like newspaper stories to respond too).

Some activity on this thread will keep it high in the list, helping more DU members to see it and learn the ropes!

(note: there are other useful Tips, Guidelines -like Gathering Signatures...- and Actions Links in the Activism Toolkit linked here)

5. Yep, that was proof that LTE's work!

For those who haven't clicked the link yet, this was from the Arizona Daily Star, kicking ultra-conservative columnist Ann Coulter out of their op-ed section, thanks to readers feedback.
That's proof (if we needed any) that Letters to the Editors work! So check these guidelines to learn the ropes and take action! :)
