In Their Words …
" Keeper of political scorecards on environmental votes, this small but feisty group actually endorses candidates who might be good for green causes. Its small staff proves that you don't need a huge budget to make a difference. Still, more money couldn't hurt. "

Tips on Communicating with the Media
Write a Letter to the EditorA great way to broaden support for your view is to write a letter to the editor of your local newspapers. Not only will you influence many of your neighbors, elected officials often use this widely read section of the newspaper as a means to gauge public opinion when making decisions.
- Be concise and to the point - a maximum of 200 words.
- Write about only one topic per letter.
- State your point at the beginning and end of your letter.
- Use vivid language to express your view.
- Draw conclusions and recommend a course of action.
- Always include your name and phone number. Someone from the paper may call to verify that you are the author of the letter.
