I'm learning from this as I re-write. I think this sentence should lead off much of what get published for the sake of brevity and clarity of our cause:

CPAC seeks to end cronyism between local governments and crime scene cleanup companies.

You are a fluent writer. Let's place some ground rules on your editing work. Writing is re-writing. Your editing skills reflect your writing skills when you publish.

Who is your audience? Stay focused on this because there's no point in pointing out what crime scene cleanup means to crime scene cleaners.

Your paragraphs appear too long. Try to keep them between 3 to 6 sentences long, depending on the length of your sentences.

Technical writing stays below 16 words per sentence. This is not technical writing, but thinking of technical writing helps to keep your thoughts within reach and control.

I am re-writing below with some suggestions. I recommend that you get away from the lazy words, the is, are, was, were, being, been verbs. They put people to sleep.

<<You are receiving this newsletter because you are a crime scene clean up company for our nation. >>

The first sentence has “are” in it twice. Use the active voice rather than the passive voice.

I’m not sure that a newsletter is a good term or project. A newsletter takes time and lots of content. You need content for your web sites. Don’t give away content to competitors unless they are on your side of the crony fence, for certain.

CPAC stands for Cleaning Professionals Against Cronyism. CPAC shares this information for the benefit of independent crime scene cleanup companies and the general public's awareness.

You know now why you must join with us or ignore us. Your future business in crime scene cleanup demands that you join us or become a crony company. Do you have the crony option?

<<We want to reach out to all companies regarding cronyism and have each and every one of you help put a stop to it.>>

<<As crime scene clean up providers we are very aware that no authority figure or county employee is legally allowed to only refer one company. They must provide a list of all companies in the area that deal with these situations, so families can choose what company to deal with and what company makes them feel more comfortable. In a perfect world this would be happening, unfortunately individuals who only care about their well being and cash in their pocket are the ones involved in cronyism. Because of this, our consumers are faced each and everyday with the terrible predicament of only thinking there is one crime scene clean up company and having to put up with their inflated prices.>>

This paragraph would be too long for internet readers. They want to get to the point quickly. They get lost quickly too.

The local government does not have a duty to provide a list. They do have a duty to refer all if they refer one.

Why should your competitors receive coroner, medical examiner, county admenistrator, and law enforcement referrals and not you? Simple. No one has any right to government referrals without a bonafide contract open to fair bidding.

I will color code this for transitions, parallelism, and active sentences when I get time. It will serve as a model paragraph for future reference. I recommend that you take it serious for writing and you will be glad that you have done so.

You know now why you must join with us or ignore us. Join us and belong to the solution. Ignore us and your silence equals complicity with cronyism.

Do you have the crony option? Some of your competitors receive the crony option. As a result these crony companies receive the more lucrative jobs from county employee referrals. As a result, the public gets ripped-off.

Unlike your crony competitors, you have competition and must work hard for referrals. You do not bid on high paying jobs. You have no opportunities to bid on high paying jobs. If you receive crime scene cleanup jobs, you drive far. You clean apartment death scenes and other free enterprise death scenes, each one a single death scene, usually. You receive hundreds of dollars in return, or a small fraction of what your crony crime scene cleanup competitors receive. Your local government ignores your pleas for equity.

Unlike you, your crony competitors do not compete for high paying jobs. These they receive from crony government employees. Your crony competitors work nearby home. Your crony competitors' rip-off their grieving clients (tax payers) for tens-of-thousands of dollars. Your local government looks the other way while some of its employees receive kickbacks.

Your clients receive service from a competitive company that owes its life to its clients. You will clean your best while knowing your next job may not come for a long time.

Your crony competitors belong to a quasi-monopoly and have no fear of losing work for poor cleaning. Their business receives guaranteed jobs from their local government. Your local government and their local government prefers silence for the sake of public ignorance.

You belong to a meritocracy. You earn your place in the crime scene cleanup business and pay local taxes. Your crony crime scene cleanup competitors receive local government referrals, welfare. They pay local taxes with money ripped off from grieving tax payers. They belong to cronyism's aristocracy.

Now you know what CPAC stand for. Will you stand with us?
