A call to organize!

Sarah_pc recently commented on our campaign plan with some great points.
Right now, we have been successful in making enough noise to get us a little publicity. However, there is a bigger picture we need to consider… Many of us recognize that the cancellation of Issues, Etc is likely a small piece of the [...]

More emails (63 total so far!)

Couldn’t resist posting this two gems!

Here’s a pertinent quote from her article:
The Rev. Michael Kumm, who served on three management committees for the station, said that the explanation doesn’t add up. [...]
