Write a letter to the editor expressing your views. Your response should be in proper letter format and 
use formal paragraphs. Your letter should officially state your stance on this issue and document a 
minimum of 3 supporting reasons. Your letter does not need to be any certain length – as long as you 
state your opinion with three supporting reasons!
