Letter to the Editor Campaign

As we prepare to go before the City Commission, we were thinking that it would be awesome if we could get some letters to the editor written by chicken supporters published in the Capital Journal.

We would love it if you wrote a letter supporting our cause!

At this point, you're probably thinking that writing a letter to the editor is hard and/or time consuming. Not so! Here's a quick 'how-to' to get you started:

• Letters to the editor are brief (250-300 words or less), and they don't have to cover every point about this issue. Think about picking an aspect of backyard chickens that you are most passionate about or interested in, and write about that. You can check out our FAQ page for some of the specifics about why we support chickens in Pierre.
• Begin with the saluation: 'Dear Editor'
• Think of your letter like a thank you note. Instead of 'Thank for the [gift here]' open with stating why you want chickens in Pierre
• For the body of the letter include some facts that support your statement
• You can close your letter with a simple 'Thank you for considering this issue' or a reiteration of why you support chickens in Pierre.
• Letters can be emailed to news@capjournal.com and make sure to include 'Letter to the Editor' in the email subject line.

Thank you for supporting PUCkR!
