This Committee will work together to write “letters-to-the-editor” of newspapers in the LWVEA area. These will be signed as personal letters, not as submissions by the League. Of course, our League does send its’ own letters on matters also, but these are signed by the Chapter President.
We’ve all come across odd, incorrect and incredible opinion letters in various publications. The Committee will work to include the facts that these opinion pieces may have missed. Sometimes we will be submitting letters to bring out facts and information about an item that everyone should know about.
Our job will be to get the letters written that work for the truth of the various matters.
Perhaps we could think of ourselves – with thanks to Stephen Colbert – as “Truthiness Tenders.”
