2. LPOC Announces Letters to the Editor Section by Greg Dirasian

   Do you write letters to the editor of you local papers? Are you an LP of Oakland County member?

   We want copies of your letters to post on our web site. Maybe the paper publishes your letter, maybe it doesn't. We would like to publish your letter on our web site for visitors to read. This accomplishes several goals. First, it will give visitors the opportunity to read Libertarian opinions on local issues. Second, search engines that index our web site will have more topics and keywords to index; this will result in our web site showing up when people do searches on those topics.

   Whenever you write a letter to the editor about local issues, please email a copy to greg@LpocMi.org so it can be added to the web site. Please only send copies of letters about local (Oakland County) issues.
