The staff of The McIntosh County Democrat welcomes Letters to the Editor on subjects of interest to our readers. Short letters are most likely selected for publication, but the use of any material is at the discretion of The McIntosh County Democrat staff. Letters should not be over 500 words. Editing may be necessary for space or clarity or to avoid obscenity, libel or invasion of privacy, but ideas will not be altered. The author?s name will not be withheld as a signed letter carries more weight with readers. ?Letters? used do not necessarily reflect the policies, opinions or beliefs of the Democrat staff.
