[Our original message, "KPFA LSB Election Recommendations, from the Green  
Party of Alameda County":] 

Dear Greens,
 
The Green Party of Alameda County has made endorsements for the  month-long 
KPFA Local Station Board (LSB) elections, which begins on October  15.  Because 
this is an important election for Greens, and because many  of you are 
members of KPFA, we are sending this message to you.  
 
The LSB elections are important not only because the board members  oversee 
the operations of KPFA, but also because four of the board members are  then 
selected for the Pacifica National Board that oversees the operation of  the 
entire Pacifica Network.

In this time when the corporations have taken over the two major  political 
parties and the media, it is critical for the Greens to help  strengthen KPFA, 
since the Greens and KPFA share several common goals, such as  promoting 
progressive politics and the fact that neither of us takes corporate  money.     
 
Because KPFA is one of the most important media resources for activists  in 
Northern California, as Greens, we need to have people on the Board who  will 
work with the staff to strengthen and grow the KPFA community and  encourage 
KPFA to give the Green Party (and other third parties) the chance to  be heard.  
We also need to have people on the Board who will help KPFA,  as a 
non-commercial station, set an example of how an election should be  conducted without 
requiring candidates to raise and spend large amounts of  money in order to 
publicize their positions -- that is, KPFA should provide  ample airtime as well 
as public forums for the candidates, so that listeners  can make informed 
decisions about whom to vote for. 
   
 
The Green Party of Alameda County recommends the election of the  following 
six candidates.  (Note:  Chandra Haupman, Dave Heller and  Attila Nagy are 
Green Party members).  The candidates below are listed in  alphabetical order.  
Please rank them in whatever order you prefer, as  your top six choices:
 
- Steve Conley, former LSB member, and KPFA staffer
- Chandra  Hauptman, current LSB member, human activist
- Dave Heller, IRV  advocate
- Attila Nagy, current LSB member 
- Tracy Rosenberg,  Programming Council, and last year's LSB election 
supervisor
- Joe Wanzala-  current LSB member, good working contact with national board.
 

In addition to the above six candidates, the Green Party of Alameda  County 
also endorses the following candidates.
 
- C C Campbell-Rock, Hurricane  Katrina survivor and Gulf Coast justice 
activist
- Bob  English, KPFA Outreach Committee member
- Richard Phelps, current LSB  member, arbitration lawyer
- Mara Rivera, KPFA Outreach Committee  member
- Gerald Sanders, former LSB member 
- Stan Woods, current LSB  member, Labor activist
 

Thank you for voting in this year's KPFA LSB elections!
 
The Green Party of Alameda County
