Your local newspaper is the best way to go for letters to the editor. I've had more luck typing them and sending them by snail mail than sending by email.

As for articles, there again your local newspaper would be a start. Hopefully others will chime in with other suggestions.

Thanks.

I actually have in mind writing a piece that is a satirical take on one of the Dem candidates. I'd like to think I am funny in a Jonah Goldberg sense.

Is launching a worldnetdaily or newsmax the most practical way to get started?

>> ...sending by email.

I've been using email to send to the Register-Guard since they've had it available. Before that, with fax availability since the '80s, I faxed. Haven't actually mailed them a letter in a very long time.

I think most these days would prefer email over snail-mail or fax. An electronic document (in plain text, of course) eliminates the need for them to transcribe it. These days I see the paper printing responses to articles & editorials 1-2 days after the original publication. Snail-mail isn't usually that fast (though I once received a small package from the Portland area the same day it was mailed, that's a rarity).
