This is action page is a brand NEW function, a daily newspaper
letter to the editor relay. We've done all the leg work to match you up
with your nearest local paper, all you have to do is have something you
want to say.
Cindy Sheehan is a mother whose son was killed in Iraq. She has gone to
Crawford, Texas to ask the president to explain what exactly it is we are
still doing in Iraq. The president refuses to meet with her, and
she has vowed to maintain a vigil there as long as he is on
vacation.
This special form will automatically submit your letter to the editor
to the nearest daily newspaper (according to zip code) in your area.
Please take just a couple minutes to tell the world what you think about
what is going on in Crawford, and you can easily invite all your
friends to speak out as well with one click.
Be sure to make specific reference to Cindy Sheehan in your comments
themselves because this form transmits your personal message only.

This will allow you to confirm that your messages have been received and logged accurately by our system (much like a weblog), allow our participants to get a sense of what their fellow constituents are thinking, plus allow any party receiving digests from us to monitor the integrity of the messages transmitted by us to them. We will endeavor to truncate most personal contact information (otherwise included in those digests and in your direct transmissions) from the display here for privacy reasons, though in the case of such information included in the body of your comments themselves, we may not catch some variant spellings.

Our democracy is only as strong as the participation of the people.
Do your representatives only hear from you once every two or four years, assuming you vote at all?
There are members of Congress who publicly bemoan the fact that they don't hear from more of
their constituents more often. Our leaders are our generals in the political arena,
but we are their troops. They can't do battle for us against opposing interests
without being able to demonstrate our ongoing support. The People's Email Network
is constructed to facilitate communication with our elected officials.
By your participation you can establish that you are a voter who will call your
government to account at each successive election. Your views do count.
They will be heard. And most importantly, when you cast your votes in the
section above, be sure to use the ground-breaking input
functions of our website to also submit the email addresses of everyone you know. In this
way we can together mobilize the entire country to speak in the loudest possible voice.
The People's Email Network exists to give you an avenue to more
effectively communicate with your legislative representatives. We take
no political
position here on any of the questions presented. That is your
responsibility as a citizen.
Help us spread the word
about this resource to everyone you know.
