Tips on writing a letter:

• Your letter should carry its most important message in the first paragraph
• Explain how the health care crisis has affected you or your community
• Keep your letter short and to the point - 150 to 300 words at the most
• Include your name, address and daytime phone number - editors like to call to confirm that the letter was actually written by you
• Limit the number of points you make and stay on the same subject
• Say "I'm a Health Care Voter!"
