DESCRIPTION:Regular meeting of KPFA's elected Local Station Board on SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 
 AT Cafe de la paz, 1600 Shattuck, Berkeley, California. Demand top items of 
 the agenda be: \n1. Firing of Lemlem Rijo, Interim General Manager, Nicole 
 Sawaya, Executive Director of Pacifica, and their entire staffs for 
 perpetrating vicious police violence against a long-time volunteer 
 programmer, Nadra Foster, on August 20, 2008 on KPFA premises. For more on 
 this horrifying police brutality for which the ENTIRE LOCAL STATION BOARD 
 IS LIABLE, as are Rijo and Sawaya, listen to Flashpoints of 8/21/08 and 
 8/22/08 at: \n1. 8/21/08 
 \nhttp://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=27972 \n2. 8/22/08 
 \nhttp://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=27992 \nand Hard Knock Radio 
 of 8/22/08 at: \nhttp://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=27991 
 \nFlashpoints is also at: \nhttp://www.flashpoints.net/ \n\n2. ENDING ALL 
 CANCELLATION OF PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THE SUBSCRIBERS PAY. The latest theft of 
 our money is the broadcast of the Democrat-Republican drinking parties 
 during prime time, 5-9 p.m., 8/25-28 and 9/1-4, cancelling Flashpoints, the 
 news and public affairs programs. Considering Flashpoints has been 
 broadcasting the news of this entire police brutality incident, it is not 
 surprising that the police thugs running KPFA, and that includes the Local 
 Station Board, have it superseded every chance they get from drinking party 
 conventions to dreary government hearings, neither of which should ever 
 supersede listener-paid programs. \n\n3. MAKING LABOR AND BLACK LIBERATION 
 PROGRAMS A TOP PRIORITY OF KPFA. We need daily labor and black liberation 
 programs on KPFA during prime time, 6-10 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 
 on Saturdays and Sundays. We are in a labor era and only the workingclass 
 can make serious change. The majority of the workingclass is now black and 
 Latino. KPFA's vicious racism in allowing a black programmer to be brutally 
 beaten by 10-15 police on KPFA's premises certainly highlights the need for 
 more labor and black liberation programming. \n\nWe should remember that 
 the majority of the LSB was the slate of the "Concerned" Listeners, 
 sponsored by the Wellstone Democratic Club, staunchly opposed by Peace & 
 Freedom Party and Green Party candidates. This is what happens when people 
 do not vote; evil prevails. You have to participate in this 
 listener-sponsored radio station, especially if you are a subscriber.   HOW 
 BAD DO THINGS HAVE TO GET BEFORE THE SUBSCRIBERS STOP ELECTING THE 
 "CONCERNED" LISTENERS AND IMMEDIATELY DEMAND THAT RIJO AND SAWAYA BE FIRED? 
  We can be sure that KPFA's insurance policy will be cancelled the minute 
 they get the police brutality lawsuit, and THERE SHOULD BE A LAWSUIT both 
 for the needs of Ms. Foster and to get the subscribers out of bed and 
 participating in their radio station.  WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE GOVERNMENT 
 AGENTS AT KPFA, TERRORIZING EVERYONE, CANCELLING OUR PROGRAMS AND PROMOTING 
 THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.  TO EVERY KPFA SUBSCRIBER:  Can you imagine yourself 
 being beaten by the police, put in a wrap, hog-tied, have your arm broken 
 and jailed FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, while you are on KPFA premises?  YOU 
 ARE NEXT IF YOU DO NOT DEMAND ALL OF THE ABOVE DEMANDS TODAY!\n
