NOTE FROM A 'SIMPLE JOSEPHINE'
Hello:
Just like "Simple Joe" I have my say on JWR. It represents and defends Western civilization and the Judeo-Christian values I hold to dearly. Too much politically correct garbage is out there and I'm done with it.
I'm not a rich person, but a housewife in Guatemala City. I am supporting since today JWR because "es de bien nacidos ser agradecidos". This well known Hispanic saying means that nothing ennobles us more than being grateful. And I am grateful for all I've received from JWR.
Please Mr. Jolkovsky keep on going.
Sign me "A Catholic everywoman".

"Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill."
