Write the Press
Letters to the editors and op-ed articles can sway the opinions of lawmakers, journalists, and the general public. Letters (emails or form submissions) are brief (often fewer than 250 words) and can come from anyone. Op-eds are longer (often up to 650 words) and should come from experts or notable persons.
Be polite, concise, and specific. Many people don’t realize that permanent DST is slower to implement than permanent Standard Time, or that permanent DST is more harmful than clock changes. For verification purposes, include your full name, phone number, email address, and city of residence (only your name and city are published).
