Write a Letter to the Editor
Letters to the editor are among the most widely read section of any newspaper. Taking the time to write a letter to the Editor of local and major newspapers is VERY important for the continued protection of the mourning dove in Michigan!  Letters are our most effective method of reaching other concerned citizens quickly and calling them to action. In addition, the media uses public opinion and concerns to gauge and determine ideas for future news articles.
