Letters to the Editor


The Letter to the Editor Section is one of the most widely read sections of the newspaper and can reach a large audience. It allows community members to comment on the way issues are being addressed in the media and to influence the topics the local paper may choose to cover. Elected officials often monitor this section of the newspaper and take notice of constituents' opinions.

We've made it easy for you to contact your local newspaper with your views, but editors want to hear from you in your own words.

Talking Point Ideas

  • This is the same PA supreme court that struck down gun control. They are not acting in the interests of the citizens of Philadelphia. They are too arrogant and scared to even explain themselves.
  • Crime is already high in the city. We don't need a crime increasing industry. Casinos will cost the city over $14 million.
  • Development in Philadelphia deserves minimum standards. The casino industry has avoided any standards, allowing them to build massive slot parlors as close as 200-feet from people's homes.
  • Studies say people don't want toxic waste dumps across from your house. What's second on the list? Casinos. They degrade our neighborhoods and don't belong next to schools and homes.
