Dear Greens,

If you're a KPFA member, your either just received your
ballot or will get one within a few days, for the
governing "Local Station Board" (LSB) election.
It's extremely important to vote.

I (and the San Francisco, Contra Costa and Alameda County
Green Parties) have endorsed the "United for Community
Radio" (UCR) team of candidates, which includes Iraq War
veteran Scott Olsen, who was injured in the police raid
on Occupy Oakland.  They are committed to strengthening
and re-energizing KPFA, as well as to rescuing the station
from the current LSB majority.  That majority (known as
"Save KPFA"), has allowed the network to accumulate a
multi-million dollar debt while squandering a million
dollar bequest at KPFA.  (UCR is also the same group
which previously _worked to elect Green Party members
Kate Tanaka, Samsarah Morgan, Aki Tanaka, and Larry Shoup
to the LSB, and which is currently running Oakland Green
Don Macleay).

You can find out more about the United for Community Radio
candidates, their platform of community-empowered radio,
as well as their full list of endorsers (including Laura
Wells, Aki & Kate Tanaka, Samsarah Morgan, Larry Shoup,
Suzanne Baker, Bob & Patti Marsh, Gayle McLaughlin, Tim
Laidman, and many others), here:

This is a very important election. You can help preserve
the only progressive radio network in the country.  You
can help the people you care about with a more active
role for KPFA in the crucial survival issues so many of
us are dealing with every day.  I strongly urge you to
please rank the United for Community Radio candidates as
your top nine candidates, for the nine available KPFA
station board seats!

Thanks so much,

Greg
