Email LA Times California Editor David Lauter and ask him why the LA Times failed to cover the tax rally and how new taxes will directly affect you.

Subject: RE: FULLERTON RALLY March 7 vs Swedish Rally
Dear Ms. Gerlinger,
Thanks for writing. I agree that the tax issue is extremely important, and we intend to cover all sides in the campaign between now and the election on May 19 over whether to approve the budget measures placed on the ballot by the Legislature. We’ve already written several stories about the campaign, including the opposition to the ballot measures, and our coverage will increase as the election gets closer. If recall efforts are mounted against members of the Legislature or the governor, we’ll cover those, too. But while the issues involved are important, rallies by themselves are seldom newsworthy. In an area the size of southern California, there’s a rally, demonstration or march practically every week somewhere, particularly when a political campaign is under way. We’ll make sure that all sides in the debate get covered fairly, but I think there are better ways to do that than by covering promotional events for radio personalities.
Best,
David Lauter
California Editor
