As a writer for the Erickson Tribune newspaper, we are constantly looking for feedback. To better serve our readers, we want your input! We are currently running a poll in the print edition of the paper asking for our reader’s top 3 current political issues.

So if you feel inclined to sound off, please leave me a comment below or send me a quick e-mail.

We will publish our survey results along with the most colorful and insightful comments in an upcoming edition of the Erickson Tribune. We will also use the information to shape our political coverage in 2009 going forward.
