You can offer to state your own opinion publicly about Fort Monroe's future by submitting a letter to the editor of a newspaper. Most newspapers strongly prefer short letters and require not only your name but your address and phone number. Often you can boost your letter's chance to be published by responding directly to something you've read in the newspaper that you're writing to. Here are some possibilities:
