All letters must be original and topical. We won’t accept submissions that are mostly quotes from other printed material or that are being mass distributed by political organizations.
Also, no poetry please.
We also won’t permit name calling between letter writers. Please make your points without resorting to personal insults.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any letter for publication and to edit for grammar and length.
Letters should be emailed to letterstotheeditor@yourmvi.com or mailed to: Letters to the Editor, Mon Valley Independent, 1719 Grand Blvd., Monessen, PA 15062.
