You can help

One of DFAs core missions is to share our beliefs and values with others. We do this, in part through this website. But we also encourage people to share their opinions in local media.

Please consider sharing your thoughts by mailing them to the Gettysburg Times, to Gettysburg Connection, or to other state or national newsrooms.

Don’t know how to write a good Letter to the Editor? These brief guidelines, put together by our own Gettysburg College English Instructor Will Lane, will be a great help to you.

If everyone commits to writing one letter per month, each on a different topic, then we can vastly increase the visibility of DFA’s issues.
