We’ve been subscribers for over 50 years. They are NOT endorsing. I had quite the conversation with the woman who answered the phone. (Don’t try to UNsubscribe by hitting THAT button. It doesn’t work. So I just hit subscribe & they were right there.). I am so upset by this. It’s just democracy, folks. The cowardice is unbelievable.
