Do you want to have your voice heard?

It’s easy to express your opinion. All you have to do is write a letter to the editor.
The rules are fairly simple.

Letters can be no more than 250 words. You must keep the language clean and you can’t make any wild accusations about people. You can express your feelings about elected officials but it must be done without any foul language.

Also, information you state in the letter must be factually accurate. Even though you’re expressing you opinion, to can’t stretch the truth or state false information.

The Oakland Press asks that when you submit a letter, include your full name, full address and phone number so we can contact you for verification purposes. We will, however, only publish your name and home town.

We also reserve the right to edit your letter, if needed.

Aside from these few regulations, you can write about anything you wish.
