1. No one reads papers any more. Everyone gets on-line news.

2. I read my local every day. I even subscribe!
I'm really lazy in the mornings. Reading my paper while I drink coffee gives me an excuse not to have to get right out of bed.:donut:

I have a nice liberal local paper now.

3. The problem I see with
an otherwise great idea is that a lot of people who read the paper don't get online (my boss and one co-worker are just two examples). Perhaps an added line giving a snail mail address would be helpful.

4. I read the free papers that are delivered to my home.
I'll bet you'd have your best effect with those periodicals.
