Since you used my name I'm not sure what you are asking or saying.

I did just turn it off because I will not listen to a pledge period ever again, or give more than $25, unless the "premium" is a station in New Orleans, or perhaps Niger, or the Congo (webstreaming), or maybe Thailand, or the island of Vanuatu in the Pacifica because I do no not believe in the validity of this "we" called the U.S.A. I don't know where my folks came from in Europe, but here, they came from Oklahoma. Dirt poor farmers, but you seem to think Pacifica's not for me. Cindy Sheehan seems to be irrelevant here, according to your plan as well. Seems she should get out of the way too. That really what you have in mind? ---Ann Garrison On Feb 8, 2008, at 9:01 AM, Emmett Abati Doe wrote: Hi MaryAnn, Pacifica has become a free-for-all, that any would be power block has/could/can take over. Consider WPFW in the control of Caribbeans solely disinterested in the Survival/ Welfare Reality Issues of "the people made in america", who management and staff pretend not only to be, but to represent. FLASH: Pacifica's Broadcaster License was issued for and to serve as a microphone for "Minority" issues and voices with specific thresholds. Pacifica was never intended to serve white-artist, white-activist, white-writers and the anti-war military industrial, police complex! Pacifica has changed hands any number of times but mostly buy the same white and Zionist middle-class masquerading as progressives...except at WBAI. As for WPFW it's a case-study and an anomaly unto itself! It is time for some real change at Pacifica, starting with A GOOD HOUSE-CLEANING! But, Just Where Do We Start and How? ...made in america xtx1000@xxxxxxx wrote: There should be a balance of management and listener imput into the production of the folio. remember the original intent of the creation of Pacifica was to provide "all viewpoints".
