Friends,
I wanted to send you this excellent op-ed which appeared in our paper today. I also link a very bad editorial against us at the bottom of the page, which is not accurate (of course).
We set up a donor button on YesOnPropK.org, so do visit if you are so moved...even $5 will help towards printing, but $20 or even more would help even more...
