<DIV>Dear Greens,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Some of you might be aware that voting for
the KPFA Local Station Board (LSB) begins this coming Monday, October
15. Because many Greens are also members of KPFA, and because it is
important to elect LSB members who will treat the Green Party and our issues
fairly, the Green Party of Alameda County has reviewed the candidates and made
endorsements, and has prepared the email message below so we can inform Greens
about our recommendations. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> In order to have the best chance of
electing LSB members who will be favorable to the Greens, we would appreciate
it if you would email the message below to as many Greens as possible in your
county, and as soon as you possibly can (given that voting begins on
Monday!). In the beginning, middle, and end of our message, as well
as in the "subject line", we have indicated that these recommendations are
from the Green Party of Alameda County, but if you'd also prefer, please don't
hesitate to add a "preface" that you are forwarding this message in response
to our request (etc., etc.)....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Please get back to me by email of by phone
(510-444-7336) to confirm you have received this message, or if you have any
questions. And thanks in advance for your help with this -- hopefully
this will be one tangible step towards improving KPFA's relationship with the
Greens and our issues!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>

<DIV>[[ Subject line:<BR>KPFA LSB Election Recommendations, from the Green
Party of Alameda County ]]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Dear Greens,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.<BR> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- Steve Conley, former LSB member, and KPFA staffer<BR>- Chandra
Hauptman, current LSB member, human activist<BR>- Dave Heller, IRV
advocate<BR>- Attila Nagy, current LSB member <BR>- Tracy Rosenberg,
Programming Council, and last year's LSB election supervisor<BR>- Joe Wanzala-
current LSB member, good working contact with national board.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>In addition to the above six candidates, the Green Party of Alameda
County also endorses the following candidates.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- C C Campbell-Rock, Hurricane Katrina survivor and Gulf Coast justice
activist<BR>- Bob English, KPFA Outreach Committee member<BR>- Richard Phelps,
current LSB member, arbitration lawyer<BR>- Mara Rivera, KPFA Outreach
Committee member<BR>- Gerald Sanders, former LSB member <BR>- Stan Woods,
current LSB member, Labor activist</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thank you for voting in this year's KPFA LSB elections!</DIV>
