Thanks.... Just today, I sent 25 letters to the editor on a particular theme - today was Iraq war. Here below is the content (critique on it is welcome)...
Challenge for other freepers: Show us your letter and tell us how many newspapers you send it to. IMHO, it doesnt hurt to send it to other places besides your home town. They are rarely printed, but it lets them know what people are thinking. 1 hour doing that can make a much bigger help to conservative causes than one hour lurking on FR. You can spend about 1 hour a month and have a very solid positive impact with your efforts. Try to keep letters under 100 words (I have trouble with that!).... JMHO.
The letter: Editor:
The U.S. was right to liberate the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein's reign of terror. We freed Saddam's victims and unearthed his killing fields. We closed Saddam's terrorist camps (like Salman Pak) and ended his funding and aiding of terrorists (like Ansar Al-Islam). We stopped his dangerous WMD developments, e.g., bioweapons and missiles. We ended the 'oil-for-corruption' program that supported Saddam's sycophants worldwide. And our success in Iraq led countries like Libya to come clean on WMDs.
Saddam killed over half a million of his own people. Overthrowing and capturing Saddam has given Iraq a chance for freedom and democracy, and set the entire Arab world in a course away from tyranny towards moderation. This certainly will help us win the war on terror and advance freedom worldwide.
Never in our history has such a well-justified and successful liberation effort been so maligned and second-guessed.
Regards, XXXX
Great letter.
