Talking Points And Tips

War On Terrorism Talking Points

The consequence of failure in Iraq would be devastating, not only on America’s national security, but would certainly allow for a renewed haven and breeding ground for terrorist in the region.

Paul believes that there are 3 key elements of a successful strategy for success in Iraq, they are:
  1. Placing responsibility for success on the Iraqis
  2. Giving the Iraqi  people a real stake in their government
  3. Securing Baghdad so that security can be maintained by Iraqi troops in the future.

Tips for Writing a Letter

  • Be sure to fill in your entire contact information in the spaces provide.  Some of the editors will call you to verify you actually sent in the letter.
  • Choose a topic that matters to you.  The talking points provide you with a good start but the more passion you feel about the issue the better.( to find additional information, you can check out the “Paul on the Issues” tab on this  website.)
  • If responding to a specific letter to the editor, recently published, mention the writer by name.  Address any false assumptions with true information and facts.   Be relevant and current.  The more current the issue the better chance you will have of being published.
  • Finally, keep your letter under 250 words.  A number of the newspaper will send it back if it is over their limit.  Again, you will have a better chance of being printed if your letter is current, brief and to the point.
