Proud to be a subscriber

Editor: Your piece on the front page of the July 5 paper, "Voices of our community," was an eloquent, important statement. I am only sorry that you felt the need to make such a statement. I have been deeply impressed by the journalistic integrity which is increasingly apparent in the pages of your newspaper. The Jewish Western Bulletin is a newspaper, and I am proud to be a subscriber, even if I may sometimes disagree with a particular story. Isn't that the point? Thank you for holding to your principles.
