Bear Essentials Dec. 10-17
. Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the
triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.”
No matter the omens of doom,
and naysayers who have never even helped in this urgent issue, Stewards of San Juan
County are determined to represent our county, our freedoms, and to speak out
as long as there is hope. It’s possible
some of you have only written once or twice; that needs to be substantially
increased when you are fighting a formidable foe. We hope you will help today,
and throughout these last weeks of the year. Write and call OFTEN

Reading for this
