Citizen letters are a simple way to reach hundreds of readers. Many weekly paper sprint all the letters they receive. The simplest way to start is to use no more than3 'talking points', or facts supporting your opinion. If you feel uneasy about your writing, have a someone whose judgment you trust proofread your letter and offer suggestions.
