If your hometown newspaper hasn't endorsed Kerry yet

[librarycard]

[Jackson4Gore]

1. Here is my local newspaper

[librarycard]

3. A key state

Haven't hit them yet. The letter's in the mail. Thanks.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

2. Anyone know who the Orlando Sentinel endorsed, if anyone?

[librarycard]

4. Nobody that I know of, yet

I wrote to them two weeks ago....we will see.

[Orangepeel]

29. they have not yet endorsed

The Sentinel always endorses the republican, so if they endorse Kerry, it will be a big win

[donheld]

5. The Denver Post has not yet endorsed anyone

at least last i knew

[librarycard]

6. Not yet. I wrote them already.

Wait and see! :)

[juslikagrzly]

7. How about if they endorsed *?

I sent a LTTE at the Tulsa World and am awaiting its printing.

[librarycard]

10. If I had already sent a letter, I write them off.

If I hadn't, I hope for them to reverse themselves w/a letter sent asap, or at least hope that they feel remorse for their endorsement.

The San Diego Tribune is one such paper.


I will write to Tulsa World as well. Haven't written them yet. This letter is not for the letter's section but for an endorsement.

8. Here's mine.

The Athens (GA) Banner-Herald.

11. Should Halloween ever be celebrated on a Sunday???

I feel for you, Mac, and I'll see what I can do. :)

[Commendatori]

9. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle? (n/t)

[librarycard]

12. Minnesota?

What state?

[Commendatori]

13. Sorry, I meant New York

[librarycard]

15. I checked their homepage and can't find a mailing address

That's what I need. E-mail won't do, as I'm sending them a hardcopy of a newspaper article.

Have it handy?

[Commendatori]

18. Yes

Democrat and Chronicle
55 Exchange Blvd.
Rochester, NY 14614-2001

Thanks for doing this, it's important work. I'm in your debt, as is anyone rooting for Bush to lose.

Rick

[librarycard]

20. It's as good as done.

Thanks a lot! I will be watching... :)

[Commendatori]

22. I read it every day, so I'll keep you posted. Thanks again. (n/t)

[librarycard]

24. I would appreciate that!

Our goal is to touch base with each paper's true inner patriotism. :)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. Some major newspapers in Maine I am not sure about:

Bangor Daily News and Waterville Morning Sentinel.
I know that Portland Press Herald endorsed Kerry, and the Portland Press Herald and the Waterville Morning Sentinel are owned by the same company I believe. I would think the Waterville Morning Sentinel would follow suit with the Portland Press Herald, but I'm not sure. Waterville Morning Sentinel is circulated in central Maine.

I'm most concerned about the Bangor Daily News. I was not able to figure out through an internet search if they had endorsed any candidate yet. Bangor Daily News is circulated in the most republican parts of Maine, which would be the northern most and central counties.

http://www.bangornews.com/

[librarycard]

16. I've already hit the Bangor Daily News and Kennebec Journal

Will send out to the Morning Sentinel next.

[6th Borough]

17. Sun-Sentinel; doesn't matter, they WILL guaranteed.

They are working their way up through all the city/county/state races (and constitutional referendums).

They just endorsed Betty Castor (either yesterday or today); Kerry should get his endorsement within the week...they virtually never endorse a Republican, even for minor posts such as property appraiser.

Well, except for Shaw-R Ft. Lauderdale due to his 24 year incumbancy.

[librarycard]

19. We blanketed all FL newspapers two weeks ago

since FL was a key state. We were very impressed with all the Kerry endorsements last Sunday, and are now inspired to drive on w/the same plan for the final two weeks.

I live overseas, and these small town newspapers appreciate the international attention. Despite Rove's attempt to drive a wedge, many Americans still identify w/their European roots.

[6th Borough]

21. Nevermind...Just checked the website.

They've endorsed Kerry already...I haven't gotten to the editorial section of today's paper yet, perhaps it's in there.

[librarycard]

23. Another paper in the "win" category!

Now what are we going to do about the Wisconsin Record Review? :)

http://www.centralwinews.com/recordreview/

Rove's tentacles are everywhere. This paper is not providing an address. Will have to write it off and move on.

[librarycard]

25. Interesting poll in a small town Wisconsin paper

26. here is mine

The website is www.coloradoan.com

LTTE limited to 200 words, email to [email protected] , or there's a way from the website (look for Contact Us on main page, lower left).

Thanks!

[librarycard]

32. Thanks

had hit the aurora sentinel, Pueblo Chieftain (post Bush endorsement, to make them feel out of the loop), Colorado Daily, Colorado Springs Independent Newsweekly, Daily Camera (got an endorsement!), Westword, Greeley Tribune, Vail Daily, Denver Post, Durango Herald, Rocky Mt. News (lost them--they're III Corp, which is certainly no excuse), Aspen Daily News, Boulder Weekly, Aspen Times.

Yours is added to the list. Will go out tomorrow a.m.

[RobertDevereaux]

35. Wonderful. Thank *you*!

[6th Borough]

31. BTW, don't bother w/the Tampa Tribune

They have officially endorsed nobody.

Still, pretty good for a paper that has endorsed every repug since 1964.

[librarycard]

33. We wrote to them anyway

two weeks ago. They might toss us a couple of editorial bones or two w/o and endorsement, but just as good.

[buckettgirl]

37. hometown in rural kansas, home of the republican farmers

39. Thanks!

I'll contact them!

[Kazak]

38. The Norman Transcript

Norman, OK (they're a whole lot more left leaning than their big city counterpart, The Daily Oklahoman).

At least if they have, I didn't catch it.

[librarycard]

41. I'm not seeing it on my list.

http://www.refdesk.com/ok.html

Is it here?

[Kazak]

51. Lousy list...

They don't even list The Daily Oklahoman? Oh well, who can blame them?

Here's the link: http://www.normantranscript.com/

73. Your URL doesn't work, unfortunately

I did a search...still doesn't work.

42. LOL - Dallas Whoring News?

43. I had ignored Texas

but what the hell. :)

on edit: That webpage is a mess, and I don't see the snail mail address. If you can find it, I'll send.

44. The Buffalo News

[librarycard]

48. An imbedded address if ever there was one

but I found it! :)

[maveric]

45. The San Diego Union Tribune?? Good luck with that one.

Nine sections of RW, sugar coated "nice nice", bullshit and advertisements. Thats it.

[librarycard]

46. I wrote them yesterday, to chastise

and spread guilt for their endorsement of Bush.

[alteredstate]

47. The Post and Courier in Charleston, SC

Good luck. They only endorse Republicans.

[librarycard]

49. We covered NC two weeks ago

Time to give SC a look. I don't think there has been a newspaper endorsement in that state yet. That should give Bush cause to worry. W/such a close election, you'd think they'd want to give him a head start.

[librarycard]

50. off to bed

I'll check the list in the a.m. in case I missed you.

[ignatius 2]

52. Our paper, the Indianapolis Star, listed an entire column of everything

Bush has done wrong(not that you could list it all in one measly column) then proceeded to say what he should do different the next 4 years.

WTF??? If he is such a loser why endorse him? Repug rag in a state that almost always votes repug for president. We do have a dem governor and 1 senator, thank God.

[Senator Lamb]

53. not sure

i am not sure, but the Asbury Park Press is my paper

[librarycard]

72. I'll write to both of them

your IN and NJ papers

[Democracy Died 2004]

54. http://www.journal-news.net/

West Virginia .. I am trying but the forces of evil are strong here.

[librarycard]

67. We hit the Charleston State Journal

the Independence and Wheeling News Registry, the Charleston Gazette, the Dominion Post, and the Charleston Daily Mail.

I send to your paper today.

[MrSlayer]

55. The Philidelphia Inquirer is running 21 editorials in 21 days for Kerry.

The Philly Daily News endorsed Kerry back in June before there was even a running mate. PA is Kerry country.

[librarycard]

66. We wrote them already

I hope they are publishing the AP article of "US deaths in Iraq."

Americans just have no idea what they have wrought!

[watercolors]

56. Florida Today, Brevard edition

Endorsed Kerry and Betty Castor

[6th Borough]

58. The Sun-Sentinel has an endorsement list which includes most FL papers

Regrettably I forgot to bookmark the link. It takes a little bit of digging, but it's somewhere in the politics or endorsements sections.

[librarycard]

65. So does DU, the editorial section

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x79638

It's being updated constantly. "Talk" to the poster of that list, Tesibria.

[librarycard]

64. Yes, we sent to them two or three weeks ago

We were glad to have them on board.

We have pretty much blanketed Florida last month, at least for the major papers. Now we're going for really small town.

[Eric J in MN]

57. The St. Paul Pioneer Press endorsed Bush in 2000, but no one yet in 2004.

71. I will send that out in the am.

thanks

[AlFrankenFan]

59. The OC Register...but they lean libertarian...which is ok

but they probably endorse the lib candidate. Worth trying anyways.

[librarycard]

62. What state? City?

Got an address? :)

[AlFrankenFan]

75. California

60. The Reporter in Montgomery County, PA - HUGE swing county in swing state..

[email protected]

They allow fairly long letters (on Word, you can write up to just a few lines over a page, single spaced, and they will print it).

[librarycard]

63. This isn't a letter to the editor

it's a friendly reminder to editors from those of us living overseas w/the military that they need to remind their readers of the true cost of this war.

We're enclosing an actual page from Stars and Stripes w/the AP article "US deaths in Iraq." We're not asking them to print our letter but rather the AP article, every day, like Stripes does.

It's a simple but compelling letter, from a Vietnam Vet with an APO address, and we use the American flag stamp and a VFW return address label for good measure.

If they want to print it as a letter, all the better, but that hasn't been our request.

None have personally responded, but we did notice several of those on our "sent" list who had endorsed Kerry already, sans two.


I will send to your paper today! Thanks!

[librarycard]

70. I don't see your paper on this list

Can you provide a street address? I have a newspaper article to send to them.

I will cross reference with list of "already sent."

endorsed anyone. The website is
