Our Community News welcomes letters to the editor on topics of general interest. 

The OCN editorial board has established a policy that we do not knowingly print letters that have appeared in substantially the same form elsewhere. Letters that have appeared in other publications are considered the property of those publications and governed by their copyright. OCN has adopted our policy to minimize the possibility of copyright infringement.

Please identify your submission as a letter to the editor and include your full name, home address, and day and evening phone numbers. If you send us an "open letter", we will not consider it to be a letter to the editor unless you specifically identify it as such. Letters will not be published anonymously or with what appear to be fictitious authors names.

A limit of 300 words is recommended. 

Letters may be edited for length, grammar, and accuracy.

Send your letter to editor@ourcommunitynews.org or mail to 
Our Community News
P.O. Box 1742
Monument, Colorado 80132-1742.

In response to recent problems receiving e-mail, if you send your letter by e-mail, we will send an e-mail acknowledgement. If you do not receive an acknowledgement, please call 481-8511 to confirm that we have received your letter.

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in letters to our community should not be interpreted as the view of OCN even when the letter writer is a reporter for OCN.
