Please help me. I am a 67 year old trying to manage my life on a fixed income of less than $900. per month. There is a company called: Patriots Readers Club, P.O.Box 27808, Denver, CO 80227. Tel# 866-975-9860. They said I signed up with them to buy Magazine from them for $49.95 per month. I cannot afford this. Would you please ask them to cancel my order. Thank You, Deb Bowen
