I not only read the Source, I have done a lot of ads with you when I owned The Iron Butterfly. It really saddens me to see the constant editorial slant of everything “liberal, progressive.” In a free and open society our greatest best [interest] is served when both, or all, credible sides are given and explored. As we approach another deluge of political hyperbole, please grant us all the opportunity to be heard and thereby raise our social consciousness.

Teach us all to consider all facts, not just a few.
