<P>I am forwarding an email I received from the campaign to preserve C-Tran bus service. They are asking for community members to write letters to local newspapers in favor of Propostion 1. It is especially important to stress a personal story. How you use C-Tran to get to work, the grocery store, college, etc. Please read the email I am forwarding for complete details of what they would like mentioned, some basic instructions for keeping it simple and the newspapers they would like us to target. Thank you NFB Clark County. Keeping C-Tran at current service levels is so important.</P>

<P>The campaign is heating up. A few days ago<A href="http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=xeW2mZhrrtkptn2jQQNOIj4mQvb4bKVk" target=_blank> the Columbian wrote a long news </A>story on the ballot measure to preserve buses. <BR><BR>This campaign is all about saving our bus service. Proposition 1 revenue will ONLY be used to keep our existing buses on the street; getting people to work, the doctor, and school.<BR><BR>Please help us by writing a letter to the editor and making it clear how important it is to Preserve Our Buses. <BR><BR><B>Here are the major points to remember when writing a letter to the editor:</B></P>
<UL>
<LI>The word limit is 150 words. The Columbian has a 100 word limit for political letters.
<LI>Stick to 1 or 2 points. Don't try to cover too much.
<LI>Be sure to get the words "Approve Proposition 1" in the letter and if possible make it clear that it is THIS November to save our bus service
<LI>Personal stories are by far the most compelling. If you or someone you know depends on the bus or uses the bus to get to work write about that! </LI></UL>
<P><BR><B>Please send it to as many of the following newspapers as possible IN SEPARATE EMAILS: </B></P>
<UL>
<LI>The Columbian: <A href="mailto:letters@columbian.com?subject=Letter%20to%20the%20Editor" target=_blank>letters@columbian.com</A>
<LI>The Reflector: <A href="mailto:news@thereflector.com%20?subject=Letter%20to%20the%20Editor" target=_blank>news@thereflector.com </A>(they will print letters from all over the County)
<LI>The Vancouver Voice (if from Vancouver): <A href="mailto:ossie@vanvoice.com?subject=Letter%20to%20the%20Editor" target=_blank>ossie@vanvoice.com</A>
<LI>The Camas-Washougal Post Record (if from Camas/Washougal):<A href="http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2FWKshA%2BHcufC5LPuYWARwj4mQvb4bKVk" target=_blank>http://www.camaspostrecord.com/letter-to-the-editor/</A> (You have to submit using their online form. Remember they will lose all their service if this fails.) </LI></UL>
<P><BR>Together, we will Preserve Our Buses and Keep Clark County Moving!</P>
