Submit a letter to the editor

Letters to the editor should be 200 words or less because of space limitations. Guest columns should be 625 words or less, and should be on a topic of local interest. Preference is given to concise letters and columns. Writers are limited to one published letter or column per month.

Letters or guest columns are subject to editing for length or clarity. All submissions must include the writer's name, address and a daytime phone number for confirmation. Any submission to the Rockford Register Star may be published in print, electronic or other forms.

We do not accept or publish anonymous letters to the editor. Your name and town will be published and posted with your letter.

* Attention letter writers: If your e-mail provider is AOL, you must make the Rockford Register Star an approved sender. If you do not take this step, we will not be able to correspond with you and your letter might not be published. All mail from the Opinions department is being read by the America Online service as unsolicited bulk mail and is being blocked before we can contact you. To remedy this problem, include the return address for the Opinions department — opinions@rrstar.com — as an allowed address. To learn how to do this, sign in to your AOL mail service, click on Help (to the right of the AOL Mail icon) and then click on Mail Help. Follow the instructions for "Block or Unblock Sender with AOL® Mail on the Web Mail Controls."
