Wanted: Your Letters to the Editor

Here are five simple steps to share your letter to the editor with the community.


While we don't necessarily have a "desk" for you to drop off your mail, we love to publish your letters to the editor!

And we've made it super easy for you, too. All that you need is a free Patch account and you can post your letter directly to the site as an Announcement and everyone will immediately be able to read it.

Your letter will also be featured in our free email newsletter that is delivered to the inbox of thousands of residents every day!

Here's how to create an Announcement in five easy steps:

  1. Create an account if you don't already have one (click 'Sign Up' in the upper right corner)
  2. Go to the Announcements page and click the "Announce it to everyone!" link on the top right.
  3. Fill out all of the fields with all of the pertinent information.
  4. Make sure to add the photos where it says "Choose file to upload" (you probably won't have a photo for your letter and that's perfectly fine!)
  5. Click "Post My Announcement" at the bottom.

You can also use the Announcements page to draw attention to a cause or spread the word about a charity you're involved in. Scholarships, honor roll, birth announcements and obituaries can all be posted as well.

If you have any questions we're always happy to help, so don't hesitate to drop me an email at gary.jeanfaivre@patch.com

Thanks. We look forward to hearing from you!

I remember years ago that not all of the information about the Kennedy death and assassination wouldRead More not be unsealed until 2017, so why not be able to seal the records of these deaths for the same amount of time?

To further support my support of Aurelia, the letter above states it was the New York Post thatRead More wanted the details. Good for you town clerk! I goggled the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information and they are indeed nothing more than a non-profit group. They are not a government agency. And an inept one - their own website is a mess. What clowns.- http://ctcouncilfoi.org/

Town Clerk Aurelia is already causing the town to needlessly spend money defending her derelictionRead More of duty: "An attorney representing the town, with the law firm Cohen and Wolf, issued an opinion in response to the, (New York), Post's request stating that the public is only allowed to view death and marriage certificates that are "at least one hundred years old." Cost aside she is pushing for a state law that would restrict access to a minors birth certificate for 6 months, she originally wanted them sealed for 10 years. The only thing the proposed law is going to accomplish is the healing that has been accomplished is going to be undone when the seal expires. This is much ado about nothing. http://www.newstimes.com/local/article/Newtown-officials-withhold-death-certificates-4526713.php
