Julie Ayers-Letter to Editor Lesson

The American Café,

 

Guys, if you missed American Café tonight here are some of the notes. We had Julie Ayers, the Editor in Chief of The Constitutionalist Today give us some pointers on writing Letters to the Editor. It was great. This is the most time I have spent with Julie. Adrienne and I really enjoyed her and we appreciate her so much!

 

We also shared a MASSIVE Anniversary cake in honor of our First Year as The American Café. Julie, Adrienne and I split it three waysJ

Actually we had a feast fit for a king including shrimp cocktail courtesy of Michelle V. We introduced our group to newcomers and went over ground rules. We discussed the biggest thing going-the Colorado Republican Party Heavies refusing to back the Grassroots Victor in the Primary, Dan Maes. We also discussed what to expect between now and November and then after November. Finally we prayed for Dan and Karen Maes, in particular asking God to speak to him as he lays on his bed at night, that he hears His voice and is drawn to him and given peace. We also prayed that the lies and confusion that covers the Colorado Governors Race would clear and that the lies would supernaturally fall to the ground missing the target of the citizens they are meant to influence. We acknowledged that we are in a Spiritual Battle in Colorado and asked God to give us godly leaders in our state that hear His voice and the voice of the governed.

 

We adjourned in time for more cake!

 

Watch for many announcements of debates, activities and news items relating to the battle between the Grassroots and the Party over the coming days. See you next week.

Julie Ayers-Editor and Chief, The Constitutionalist Today

Letters to the Editor

What is my Goal? To persuade others in my city.

 

1. Stick to word limit.

 

2. Be concise, don't ramble or rant. Use emotions but not angry-passionate.

 

3. Fact check-don’t discredit yourself.

 

4. Be professional

 

5. Proofread-someone else, spelling, grammar.

 

6. Know the Publication-What kind of letters do they publish? They vary.

 

7. Write to audience

 

Questions: What kind of credentials should we give about ourselves? Provide. Why am I someone who has an opinion on this subject?

Not too many on same topic.

What should we NOT say? Know publication.

How do we keep them from changing our point? Their prerogative. It belongs to them. No recourse. Integrity.
