Subject: Over 25 of us wrote the WSJ so far!!!!
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write to the WSJ. We reached a =
critical and influential mass very quickly. And y'all got fired up and =
wrote lots of passionate, great opinions!
In case anyone's courious, I learned that 25-50 people could influence a =
national publication from the south bureau chief for TIME magazine. I =
was their MH consultant for the Andrea Yates stories. The bureau chief =
told me that TIME magazine -circulation 30 million, RARELY gets over 50 =
letters on any topic! He said that when the editors get 25-50 letters, =
they really sit up and pay attention. Imagine the effect of that many =
letters on a publication with a much smaller ciriculation. We can be =
VERY visible and our opinions can be counted if we write to them.
So if there is a public groundswell of 25-50 letters to any newspaper or =
magazine with a smaller circulation, it will definitely get the top =
editors attention, it will get more stories written about that subject, =
and influence editorial content.
WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
Thanks so much for participating and representing our field---how else =
will anyone know what MH is or what we have to offer? -deb

ORIGINAL letters are best. (Copied letters are ineffective).=20
