From the September 2000 Idaho Observer:

A note of thanks from the Idaho Observer

After four years of being in print, we have never received a bad check. We have mailed thousands of newspapers and products out on faith that we will be paid and only once has our trust been abused (and that by a person we know). Most 21st century Americans are motivated by fear and greed. Very few are motivated by principle.

The press can call y'all what they want. We happen to know that the Patriots with whom we are honored to be associated represent the tiny corner of decency that refuses to give up on what it really means to be an American.

Thank you.

The Idaho Observer
