Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic

This was from the Tea Party Patriots;

Thank you so much for joining us on our Sunday webinar last week. I greatly appreciate you volunteering to write a letter to the editor. I have attached a sample letter that you can copy, as well as a guide for some notes on how to write a letter. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. 

When your letter gets published, please email me a link to it so that I can pass it on to Jenny Beth to reach out to the Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, and The White House. 
Thanks!

Here is the sample letter that needs to be sent out everywhere we can;
Dear Editor,
Tax reform is the next big policy fight on the horizon in Washington, DC, and it is long overdue! The U.S. tax code – with more than 75,000 pages – is an incomprehensible mess. The Internal Revenue Service offers more than 2,000 forms and instructions. That is excessive, to put it mildly. In order to comply with the sheer volume of tax rules, Americans spend over 6 billion hours preparing their tax returns every year, and more than $400 billion to ensure they’ve complied with the law. Imagine how great our economy would be if those 6 billion hours were poured into creative enterprise! The hard-earned money that Americans must spend complying with the tax code is, of course, money that we are not spending elsewhere in the economy. The tax code should be simpler, flatter, and fairer. And our tax system should raise the money necessary to fund our government, while minimizing compliance costs. It’s a simple message that Americans support. Let’s hope Congress is listening.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Your City

Why a Letter to the Editor?
WHAT IS A LETTER TO THE EDITOR?
>
A letter to the editor is a letter written to the Editor of a newspaper. The letter is an opportunity for you to express your opinion about a recent article published in the paper or an issue in the news. Writing letters to the editor is an important engagement tool for activists. They allow activists to do the following;
>
1) Reach a broader audience than you normally would have.
2) Hold your local journalists accountable
3) Present alternative views on political issues.
Letters to the editor are usually found in the first section of the newspaper or on the editorial page.
>
WANT ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR?
 Major corporations, Members of Congress, and even the White House all pay attention to op-eds and local letters to the editor. The White House is even keeping track of letters to the editor on its tax reform webpage.

GUIDELINES FOR GETTING A LETTER TO THE EDITOR PUBLISHED Most newspapers publish guidelines with their specific requirements for getting a letter published, but here are some general rules that will help you get your letter to the editor published. If your letter gets published, please send us the link to taxreform@citzensfund.com.
•Include your name and address and a telephone number where you can be reached.
• Be respectful and courteous, even when disagreeing with the Editorial Board about a specific issue.
• Be specific. If you are opposed to Obamacare, mention the specific reasons why. Provide examples.
• Cite your sources. If you include any quoted material, be sure to correctly cite your source or attribute the quote.
• Use proper grammar. Spellcheck your letter and be sure to use proper grammar. Refer to The Elements of Style for a great overview of effective writing.
• Be concise. Letters to the editor are much more likely to be published if they are 300 words or less. Make your point as clearly and concisely as possible.
