The Democrat-Gazette welcomes letters to the editor from Arkansas residents. Because of limited newsprint space, letters from out of state are not accepted, and clarity, brevity and originality are particularly valued. Letters should be no longer than 250 words and are subject to editing. You must include the writer's real name, mailing address and a daytime telephone number for verification -- no answering machines. No anonymous letters or pseudonyms will be accepted. Please do not type in ALL CAPS.
Items marked with a
must be filled out for verification before publication will be considered. Comments not for publication should be mailed to the Voices page editor.
