I am not willing to cancel my subscription since this is the only local paper we have, awful as it often is, but I am willing to write a letter telling them what I think about this type of advertising. N.W.

I'm willing to cancel my subscription--even though I'm not a Democrat. I'm weary of apathy too. It makes me feel so...apathetic.
  Let me know if this will be done en masse, and, if so, some ideas about the language we wish to use.

The sticky note was at least on the paper and an obvious ad. Anyone should differentiate that note from being the paper's political view. The packaging from last night appears to represent the paper. A friend on Marston did not have a wrapper on her paper last night.
  How many are willing to take a stand and call and speak to someone and cancel subscriptions, at least temporarily? If only a few do it, nothing good will come out of this.
  This should not be a Democrat's issue but an issue for all who want ethical media. I grow weary of apathy.

        My paper also came yesterday with a sticky note attached asking me to vote for Dillon for Sheriff, so apparently others are doing this as well. N. W.

        Colleagues,
        
        You may recall that the Leader-Telegram refused any letters commenting on the Republican pull-out from the debate at South Middle School . . . How shall we "read" this action?

        The Leader Telegram just came in a huge brightly colored plastic bag promoting Republicans. It is sponsored by the NRA. It will lead many people to believe that the paper is promoting the Republican ticket.
        
        I called and was told it is just plain and simple, a paid advertisement.
        
        I think it is appalling. Maybe if enough of us call, someone will think twice about this.
        
        How many of the public will believe this is promoted by the LT rather than an ad?
