LETTER WRITING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MARCH 2019 BLM LEASE SALE
Important Tips
- You must write supporting comments – personal comments in your own language – that will make the protest letter count as “official”.
- Folks need to email their comments to info@frackoffchaco.org. Digital signatures will be counted. Just write your name and details at the bottom of the letter provided.
- There are four “points of particular relevance” that should be included when writing your comment letters. Be sure to at least include these, and then continue with any of the “talking points” in the template.
- Don’t forget to put your mailing address beneath your signature at the bottom of your letter!
- When you’re done, please email us at info@rioarribaconcernedcitizens.com and send us a copy of your letter for our records. Please keep your receipt from the BLM or post office. Thank you, and feel free to contact us if you need any help with your letter.
