It's easy to say I'm going to cancel the local paper when they continuously run articles against our conservative values and our Republican officials like Ron DeSantis, our Governor. But, unfortunately, until someone can come along with the bucks to start a local newspaper that will compete, we are where we are and can't afford to give up on a megaphone that reaches thousands of citizens in our community. So what to do. Do what the Dems do -- Fight.
Write letters to the editor supportive of Republican legislators, and supportive of legislative initiatives that will protect our vote, protect parent's rights in education. Write letters supporting our Bill of Rights - freedom of speech, the right to bear arms. Respond to negative articles and editorials in the paper -- present good arguments against them. If you don't have time to write letters yourself, join our letter writing group and we will help. Go to charlottegop.com and volunteer.
If you are really angry, talk to advertisers and ask them to tell the paper to get more articles and editorials in the paper that support conservative, Republican issues and events. Our county has 2/1 registered Republicans. Advertisers want to reach them. The advertisers have more power with the press - they pay a larger portion of the bill.
You accomplish very little by canceling your local subscription They will carry on without your subscription. What we need to do is intervene and do everything we can to get our message out.
