John F:  I'm sure it was appreciated by the conservative Christian demographic.  I think it was also a bit of "high-dollar" evangelism on the Green's part.  I have no problem with that. As you say, it's their money and certainly the RG can use the revenue.  I enjoy our local papers (both the RG and the Weekly) and would like to see HobbyLobby run the same ad every week or everyday......it doesn't bother me in the least and, as I stated, both papers would appreciate the advertising revenue.  regards, Gary
