    I also can't access the print edition of your stories such as the Food Stamp Advocate what's the problem? I have contacted you all before regarding this matter and heard nothing.

    This interview was done with me and it certainly was not meant to be misleading. I do Food Stamp applications at the Family Health Center and would welcome any questions

    I visited your website to "learn more about her" meaning Amy Grassett. Where is this information? I see shelf of canned goods and and not much else. Those comments to visit the website "for MORE information" seem a little bid misleading. Is this hook to please your advertisters? I'm disappointed....................
