<DIV>[Our original message, "KPFA LSB Election Recommendations, from the Green
Party of Alameda County":] </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, <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1193611549_0
