Write to the papers and blogs.
You can influence many people with your words, so it’s important to an election. Send your opinions to the editors of our important news outlets.
Remember that not all letters will be printed, however those that do often go into the online version of the paper. All letters must include the author’s name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. You will be getting a call from the paper to verify that you wrote the letter. Only the name and hometown will be published. Take note of the maximum amount of words you are allowed to write.
