Many of you have written us brief notes to express your shock and horror at the senseless violence that took the life of our gay brother, Matthew Shepard. We've decided to send out a short list of newspapers with email addresses to all of you in the hopes that some of you will write letters to the editors of these as well as your own local papers. First we're including the 4 Wyoming papers that we have email addresses for. Next is the address for USA Today because it has a readership in the millions. And finally about another dozen papers with large circulation that often print letters from outside their areas. If you write to more than one paper at a time, be sure to BLIND CARBON COPY the addresses because no paper will print your letter if they know you've sent the same one to other papers. (If your server doesn't have blind carbon capability than send each letter separately.) Writers should include their name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. Hate talk leads to hate crimes.
