Make your voice heard!

Dear Friends-

It’s time to band together in a letter writing campaign so that city and state leaders receive a more balanced picture of citizen concerns regarding the idea of spending almost $700 million on a third bridge across the Willamette.

Recently a Salem city councilor shared that they had only received one letter in opposition to the bridge proposals. That councilor went on to say that if other citizens felt the same way, the impact of individual letters would certainly be a catalyst for leaders to have a broader conversation regarding the future work of this project.

So --- listed below (in the Model Letter post below) are all the addresses you would need to let city and state officials know how you might feel about this issue. A standard form letter has also been composed that you can print and sign, edit to better reflect your personal thoughts and feelings, or use to spark a letter of your very own.

Agree with the form’s first point but not the others?
Delete them and send in a shorter version.

Not want to send out 15 letters?
Feel free to choose just one address on the list and send it there.

Out of stamps?
Email addresses are also included so you can cyberspace do the work for you.

Let your voice be heard and encourage others to do the same!
