what should my letter to the editor say?

We recommend a simple Letter to the Editor that says the following:

To the Editor — I support KanCare expansion because [1 to 2 sentences why]. The people of Kansas want KanCare expansion. Why won’t the Legislature talk about it? Signed, [Your Name]

How do I submit the letter to the editor?

Each newspaper will have its own method for submitting LTEs. Some will have you email your LTE to an email address; others may have a form on the website to fill out. If you aren’t sure how to submit the LTE, we recommend checking the paper’s website or calling their office to find out.
