Iowa: Help Rapid Response Take Back the Media!

 

RapidResponseNetwork.Org needs letter writers!

If you have a little extra time to write an occasional letter, Rapid Response needs you.  Rapid Response is active at the national and state level, with coordinators in most states and members nationwide.

 

State/Local: 
Letters to the editor help shape public opinion and here in Iowa we
need to make sure that the progressive point of view is represented in
the Des Moines Register as well as our local papers.  When fellow
Iowans see your letter in print, they learn that their neighbors and
friends feel the same way they do, and will begin to speak up
themselves.   You will feel more empowered every time you
send your viewpoint off knowing you are NOT alone.

 

National:  At the national level, Rapid Response_Iowa
has joined with other states in letter-writing campaigns to the New
York Times, CNN, CBS, 60 Minutes and countless other national media,
members of congress, Bush administration officials and the White House.
 

 

How it works: 
You will receive occasional e-mails with ACTION ALERT in the subject
line.  Alerts will contain a brief explanation of the action, the
text of a story or a link, talking points, links to resources, and
where to send your letter.  All you have to do is write the letter
and hit the send button.

 

Letters
do not have to be long or time-consuming.  In fact, short and to
the point is better, sometimes only 3-4 sentences, as long as it is in
your own words and from the heart.  You can also submit your own
Action Alert idears!

 

So
please join us in raising our collective, progressive voice.  To
