I was thrilled and greatly heartened to see how the American people responded to the “Tea Parties” that were held throughout our country (including Joe the Plumber)!
Maybe we are not as divided as I thought we were and there is hope for us after all. Bravo to the people who initiated them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Local newspapers do matter
Dear Editor:
In response to Glen Scherer’s guest editorial: “Why Local Newspapers Matter” on Apr. 16, one of my daily pleasures was having my morning coffee and reading the daily paper on my front porch. My subscription to the Sun-Sentinel ran out and, unfortunately, we find the cost too prohibitive to re-subscribe. I understand that advertising rates at newspapers, in general, depend on the number of subscribers. However, newspapers seem to be shooting themselves in the foot by raising the price of the newspaper. Perhaps there is no other way? I don’t know what the answer is. I really miss my paper, but I suppose I’ll get over it.
