Cally Carswell’s article “What are we doing here?” in the Aug. 6 issue finally prompted me to write and say what I’ve been meaning to for some time. I can’t express how your publication touches and moves me. You are doing great work conveying the issues and your perspective on life in the West and the country generally.

Now that journalists are “the enemy of the people,” I hope you can find the fortitude, and the funds, to persevere. Keep up the great work.
