CI-100 > Volunteer > Write Letters to the Editor

A majority of Montanans support the right to life, and we want everyone to know it. We need you to write letters to the editors of the newspapers and magazines in your area explaining why CI-100/The Montana Personhood Amendment is right for our state.

guidelines for letters

In some cases, our directory below lists specific requirements for a publication. However, to increase the likelihood of your letter being published, you should always include your full contact information, including your name, phone number, address, and e-mail address; newspapers often use this information to verify that you wrote your letter.

Also, although some papers have higher word limits (or no explicit limits at all), it is generally better to make only one major point per letter and keep it pithy. Editors are more likely to publish it, and readers are more likely to read it.

directory of newspapers

This is a comprehensive list of newspapers in Montana. To reach as many people as you can, submit letters to all of the papers in your area, not just your hometown paper.

If there is an error or omission in our directory, please report it to us.
