1. The bangor daily called to confirm mine, but don't count me until

I see it in the paper for sure. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. ok, it's in :^) It got edited a bit though

[katinmn]

2. St. Paul Pioneer Press called me, Maybe tomorrow?

[Dragonfli]

3. I got the call as well

But have yet to see the ink. The call came today, maybe sunday if I'm lucky.


Maybe You should start a poll to track this -

My ltte went nowhere, I have not heard or read a thing.
I got the call, but it's been a week and still no ink
My ltte was published online but not in print.
My ltte was printed but not posted online.
My ltte was published online and in the paper.
My ltte was published online and printed so many times I lost count.

or something to that effect

I agree with your idea that we should track this somehow.

4. The local paper I submitted my article to...

only publishes public opinion articles on Sundays. *sigh*

[Democrat 4 Ever]

5. My LTTE was published today in the Lexington (KY) Herald Leader

It was editted down a bit but got its own little headline and classification as an editorial. Whoo Hoo!

7. No known hits on DALLAS MORNING NEWS yet...

...but they acknowledged today that they received more letters about Karl Rove this week than on any other topic, and the letters are split half-and-half on whether Rove should face the music over Valerie Plame.

44. glad to hear that cause i thought they ignored me n/t

[nickgutierrez]

8. I got a reply to my email

Telling me to trim my letter down to 250 words and resubmit. That might end up being a good thing. :)

11. Mine was in Houston Chron Thursday--and a better one above it

from another DUer.

[Finder]

12. Got my verification call from one paper this morning...

still waiting on another.

[emdee]

13. I won't know until Wednesday....

I usually email my letters into the local editor. She called before printing the first one (and admitted being a Democrat herself) but after that she hasn't called to confirm - she just prints them. So, I'll know Wednesday when the paper comes out and will report back (very small weekly paper).

14. I just discovered mine was published yesterday. nt

16. Delaware-I made it into the Sunday paper (although they made stupid edits)

My LTTE was printed today - Sunday paper = best exposure so I'm glad. I'm just not sure why they felt they had to change the title and the paragraphing. I think mine was much more effective - what do you think? Aside from spelling, grammar and shortening edits, I think they should try to leave our letters as original as possible.

What I sent:

ROVE SHOULD BE FIRED THIS TIME TOO -

In 2003 the White House assured America that Karl Rove, the senior adviser to the president, never discussed CIA operative Valerie Plame with members of the media. Last week we saw proof that Mr. Rove was actually a major player in that act of treason.

Those of us who may remember the politics of 1992, might also recall that Karl Rove was fired from the 1992 re-election campaign of George Bush Sr. Why? For allegedly leaking a negative story about Bush loyalist and fundraiser Robert Mosbacher to the very same Robert Novak involved in the Plame leak.

George W. Bush promised to fire any individuals involved in the Plame Affair. If Karl Rove has committed a crime, which will be up to investigators to decide, he has threatened the national security of the United States and must face the fullest consequences of the law. But for now, President Bush should make good on his promise and fire Karl Rove.

=====================================
What they printed:

This is not the first time that Rove leaked to Novak

17. You know what? Their title change actually set me up for slander charges!

It's a definitive statment that I never made in my original letter.

Now I have to write the editor in chief to complain about ill-educated editors. (Again.)

[smartvoter]

18. I'm not an attorney but I think you're okay. The body says allegedly.

Congrats on being published! (published with stupid edits is better than nothing...)

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

19. I'm published!

I was surprised since the paper hasn't given the story much play.

[usrbs]

20. Mine got into the Boston Herald

It's the first time I got a LTTE published. Maybe it's because I skipped the Boston Globe and instead responded to the ridiculous editorial they had defending Rove. Much less competition there.

Since I don't subscribe to the Herald I didn't even know it got published until a neighbor called.

[Lochloosa]

21. Florida Time Union published mine Saturday. There was another one

today. Very good I must say. This is a Repug Rag paper in Jacksonville Flordia ..

[earthboundmisfit]

22. My letters not published - I'm disappointed (not discouraged, though)

I'll send more THIS week, and keep on till they ARE published! It pisses me off, though, because the Tulsa paper has ZERO letters today about Rove! None!:mad:

[BlakeB]

24. Exactly the same thing with my paper.

The Lake Charles American Press only runs public opinion pieces on Sunday, and when they do they run the most pointless and stupid stories. One in todays was about what a hurricane museum would display. Another was about how Saint's owner Tom Benson is "laughing all the way to the bank." Then there was one about nursing homes and the others were concerning local city issues. Two of the articles were written by members of local committes. None of the editorials concerned Plamegate, and maybe one out of 6 was under 250 words. Fucking ridiculous!

[KT2000]

23. Seattle TImes Sunday paper!

I am shocked and pleased. They didn't even change it.

[Mandate My Ass]

25. Mine was published

in the Philadelphia Daily News on Friday, 7/15, in a much truncated version but published nevertheless.

[Terran]

26. Mine was published

in the Jefferson City News-Tribune. Not a big city daily, but it's the only newspaper around here.

[havocmom]

27. Mine ran today

Op/Ed page editor called Thursday and said it would run Friday. When I didn't see it I figured the Right leaning bosses vetoed it.

Heh heh, she held it till bigger audience Sunday :evilgrin:

[smartvoter]

35. Where was this?

[havocmom]

39. In a newspaper

I do not respond well to info mining in an open to the public forum by people I really don't know.

If I want info which can absolutely peg my identity out there in cyper-space, I will do it when I want, not in answer to a question from someone I do not know. Hope you can understand.

There's a reason I use a screen name and not my own online. Hope many can see there are reasons for such sensitivity.

peace,
hm

40. Not trying to get you upset. Just putting this together:

http://box29.bluehost.com/~samplesp/durovecamp.htm

As discussed in the PM exchange, a general area would have been sufficient.

[havocmom]

41. not upset, just raising level of awareness

And no, general area is outta the question. For those who live in parts of the west, general area is revealing too. ;)

[Mnemosyne]

28. My letter being printed Mon. or Tuesday, hope

it's Tues., thats when they have O'Liely's column.

Just a small paper, but am reworking letter with new info coming out and am aiming for the Erie Times also, they did back * though and haven't published much that's unfavorable to his admin.

[imenja]

29. mine's a "possibility"

the local paper called to confirm I wrote the letter and have put it in the pile of possible letters to be published. I have to watch now to see if it gets in.

42. my Rove letter.. got called, but not printed..

shucks..

I've since written a "don't cry for Judith Miller" letter and have been called about it.. I'll stick my nose back in if it gets ink..

[imenja]

43. Mine's finally in print!

[smartvoter]

45. Yours makes an even three dozen so far! nt

[annabanana]

46. Newsday published mine

My "don't cry for Judith Miller" letter. It was poorly edited and removed my request for any federal source protection bills to differentiate between protecting a whistleblower and protecting a traitor..

But it did leave in my making the distinction.
