Love S-R; dislike Ramirez

Sun., Jan. 20, 2013

My family was taking The Spokesman-Review before I was born. My husband and I took it for many years while living on West Oval Street. I have been taking it for 10 years after my husband passed away. I now live in a retirement community and am usually very pleased with the S-R, but not when it is improperly delivered and especially not when Michael Ramirez violates literary decency with rude depictions of the president of the United States.

That you continue to print his offensiveness made me consider long and hard before renewing my subscription. As you can see, my love for the S-R won out over my aversion to Ramirez.
