Tell the Republic what you think. Say whatever you want, but post something. The more traffic the better.

Done - with a gratuitous plug for MLSPR. Just trying to get the name out there.

I agree, the more traffic the better. I also urge fans and supporters to use additional means to voice your desire for a MLS team using the other options the Republic lists. Online traffic and web comments do help without a doubt. The best way to grab the media's or anyone's attention is by physical mail, though. You can always delete an email, the online article may get buried or taken down soon, but if a large volume of physical letters pours into the Republic's office it will not be ignored!
I urge everyone to not only submit an online comment, but take 10 minutes and send off a note to the Republic stating how and why you would support a Phoenix MLS team. The address to send to is
The Arizona Republic
106 E. Baseline Road
Mesa, AZ 85210
This is a critical and exciting time for our efforts. More media attention has been given to this topic in the last two weeks than the last six months combined! It is not only important to keep the conversation going in the media, but to generate support and noise within the communities as well. Potential investor groups are most likely at this moment turning their eyes and ears to Phoenix to determine our viability as a MLS market. We need to convince them to open their wallets ass well. The more we flood the media with our desire, the more receptive investors will be to providing the needed financial support.
The work is just getting started. Keep up the strong efforts!
