Wonderful! Thank you!
Now start gathering names and addresses of all the other Letter to the Editors you can find online and send it along .... many if not most papers have a way to submit these online.

Granny,
Yes,you are absolutely right. It was V. easy (even for a computer idiot like me). Just went to my local papers website, found the Letter to Editor section, and sent it in. Hit a few other papers too.Even a "Dear Amy" columnist...
I also have a wonderful flyer that was created by our beloved SusanL. It's a great hand-out in full color -For LCAM.I have it in an e-mail sent to me by Susan's husband-I've been mailing individual hard copies to friends but would like to make it accessible to everyone-Any ideas how to to this? THX

That's great! Congratulations. Can you imagine if all of us wrote articles to all our local papers and got published? At some point, the major media would have to stand up and take notice!
Thanks, Betsy, for your efforts on all our behalf!

I have a friend in the media with a list of addresses and contacts for all the media outlets in the L.A. / O.C. area. You have inspired me, and I am going to write a similar article and do a mass mailing to them all. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm sorry if I'm clueless, but what is LCAM?

Sorry, I reread - so that Lung Cancer Awareness Month. I forgot! And I think I will just send out your own article to the papers on my list if you don't mind, since there is nothing better I could add.

Besty, great article... Are people sending the letter as it is written by you or are they coping the letter and using their own name. Just courious.
