How To Write A Letter To The Editor
A simple guide to writing a Letter To The Editor (LTE), including some listings of local papers where you can send your letter to the editor via email.
Do you have a desire to participate in Libertarian politics, but cringe at the idea of public speaking? Unable to fulfill the many hours of legwork that the Libertarian Party may be asking you? Too broke and too tired to donate money or time to a cause that you truly believe in?
Don't despair! Write a Letter To The Editor, instead!
You can do it from the privacy of your own home and you can do it on your own time. It's not much more expensive than the internet connection that you currently have. You can do as much in a LTE as you can do at an OPH booth and reach many non-Libertarians, in the process.
And, you can get rewarded for your time and effort.
If you get three (3) letters to the editor published in any non-Libertarian publication, you can qualify for The Lights of Liberty Award from the Advocates for Self-Government. Please send a copy of your published letter to the editor to the LPCO Publications & Media Director at:
To fully qualify for the Advocates or the LPCO awards, you must use the word "libertarian or Libertarian" in the body, title, or signature of your LTE.
LPCO Exclusive: Every Libertarian who sends a copy of their published LTE to the LPCO Media & Publications Director at: will qualify to receive the LPCO's official bumper sticker from the LPCO Online Store (sorry, only one per person).
Every Libertarian who gets four (4) or more letters to the editor published will qualify to receive the LPCO's official coffee mug from the LPCO Online Store (Sorry, only one per person).
