In the culture wars it is vitally important that we get a pro-family point of view across to the rest of the community. Getting a letter published in a newspaper is one effective way to influence public opinion and to let our side of the story be heard. We encourage all of you to become letter writers.
In order to help you get in on the action, we feature below 14 of the nation's leading newspapers, and the email addresses for the letters to the editor page. Please keep this page available for future use. Better yet, transport these email addresses into your own address book on your computer's email program. That way with the click of a mouse you can prepare a letter to be sent off.
Bear in mind that on occasion these addresses change, so keep an eye out for possible modifications to these addresses. These addresses are accurate as of June 2004.

Remember the basic rules of letter writing:
Never use attachments.
Always include your full name, address and phone number.
Keep it short.
Stick to one topic at a time.
Respond to an issue as soon as it breaks, or you will not get in.
Try to use humour, statistics, or new information. Do not just repeat what somewhat else has said.
Always use your own words. Never just copy and paste someone else's arguments or letters.
Never be abusive or rude. Always be polite and civil, although a bit of satire or irony may help to make your case. |
