Summer Soapbox -- Your Chance to Sound Off!

Do you have something to say? Do you want to weigh on a story you're following in the news? We invite you to opine in our "summer soapbox" contest.

Please send your essay, in 200 words or less, to: soapbox@foxnews.com. Please include your name, city and state and a phone number where you may be reached.

We will feature one essay per week in the FoxNews.com Opinion section from now through Labor Day weekend.

All of the winning entries will be posted in the FoxNews.com Opinion section.

Once summer is over we'll ask our audience to vote on the season's best submission.

The winner will appear on  Fox News Channel.

Good luck!
