This is a critical election year. The Bush Administration has compiled one of the worst environmental records in the history of the United States. We all must stand up and speak out against these environmental assaults in our backyard and cross the country. Sierra Club urges you to take these steps during this important election season: Exercise your right to vote! Make sure to cast your ballot on election day.

Take Action: Write a Letter-to-the-Editor The letters-to-the-editor (LTE) section of the newspaper is the most widely read part of the paper. It is best to write a letter in response to a recently-printed article, such at The Seattle Times’ 5-part series on “The Environment and the Presidency” or an article on a recently televised political debate. Be sure to reference the article in your own letter! Keep it short (250 words or less) and include your full name, address, home and work phone numbers (for verification purposes only). Use your own words and make your letter personal—give examples, tell a story, inject some humor. This increases your chances that your letter will be printed.
