Advice for writing concise letters to the editor

[Guest guest]

Would anyone mind sharing how they construct letters to the editor in

our case? I am so eager to shoot one over to every news outlet that

talks about this, but when I start to write I have a really hard time

consolodating everything in a short note that is likely to be

published.

I really want to make the most of every exposure this gets--I just did

this one to worldnetdaily (they posted jenny & jims article from

cnn.com)in 10 minutes with many distractions going on around me, so I

know it isn't great. I would appreciate any constructive criticism on

how I could make it more effective without getting longer or errors I

may have made. I'd like to have a really good one saved that I can

send anytime the opportunity arises, which recently has become so

often that I can't keep up with it!

I'd also love to throw in something about biomed and how recovery IS

possible, because many of our opposing comments say something

about 'false hope' 'autism cant be cured, jenny is lying' etc. Some

of them are really awful. Its a good thing she's a thick-skinned

girl, although I doubt she bothers to read them. I shouldn't either,

they get me really worked up--but I'd love to have a good one to

counter those negative comments for others to see in there.

Thank you so much for the articles about autism and vaccines. There

are tens of thousands of families who report this very same story: My

child was normally developing, received the one-year round of

vaccines, developed a fever, and was never the same again. My son

went to that appointment as a happy 13 month old with a vocabulary of

over a dozen words, an engaging personality, and development that was

well ahead of his peers. Within that very week, he stopped speaking

completely, stopped responding when we called his name, and became

unable to feel pain among many other symptoms of autism. The so

called 'extensive studies' that have supposedly let vaccines off the

hook were only looking at isolated subjects, such as mercury alone or

MMR alone, as well as not being independent and unbiased for many

reasons. No one has ever researched the 'big picture' of whether

certain infants have a genetic predisposition to an 'overload' when

given multiple vaccines at once. The recent case conceded (vaccine-

injured autistic child given settlement) by the federal government

exposed a dysfunction of the mitochondria which appears to be behind

all of this. This vulnerability could affect 1 in 5 people! Please

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kirby or look at

http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/ to see a video of the Director

of the CDC actually admitting that vaccines can trigger autism on CNN

last week! This is very real and can no longer be ignored. Anyone

who takes the time to learn more will see that the science is on our

side, regardless of the headlines stating otherwise. Our kids are not

acceptable losses--your kids or grandkids could be next and the cost

to society is beyond measure.

Ann Dachel seems to have this down to an art. She has short medium

and long versions of everything and knows in some circumstances it

is required to be short and sweet or simply will not be accepted.

I would correspond with her, I am sure she would help you. Let me

know if you need her email.
