From friend George Gramlich, publisher and editor of the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel:
Literally hundreds of people have stopped and took their picture in front of the Trump Shrine in the last month. Biggest tourist attraction in town.
We’ve talked about this unique, freedom-promoting paper plenty of times before, here and at the old place. Here’s their “mission statement”:
A newspaper to serve the good people of this county, surrounding counties and our neighboring communities located along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. A newspaper with a conservative voice. A newspaper with “A DIFFERENT VIEW FROM THE SAME MOUNTAINS” than what is available now. A newspaper for all liberty and freedom loving citizens and patriots. We believe this is a much needed “CHOICE” in these beautiful, mostly rural, areas of Colorado. The Sentinel (also knows as a Sentry) is a Guardian. He watches over, protects, informs and warns us and others of danger. There are many current dangers to our liberties, freedoms and rights. So, first, we need to be informed, then we need to stand up for and be prepared to protect these liberties, freedoms and rights. Lastly, we need to remain vigilant. This newspaper will be our Sentinel and help us all do that.
So did Mike, who spoke at the Independence Day parade in Westcliffe.
Thank you for your support of the Sentinel.. As we struggle in our fight against the forces of evil, which at times can be overwhelming, you have given us the much needed boost in near perfect timing. We appreciate you very much.
