Issue threats of $17,000 fines and time in Prison! Call the Supervisors and demand they pass a resolution in support of SFLR 93.7 and instruct the police to not cooperate with the FCC!\n\nCALL YOUR SUPERVISORS! COME TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING TUESDAY @ 2PM AND THEN THE STEPS OF CITY HALL (Polk St. Side)TO PRESSURE THE SUPES TO SUPPORT SAN FRANCISCO LIBERATION RADIO 93.7FM!\nCome to the Board of Supervisors meeting to demand the Supes to make a formal statement in support of freedom in media in general and SFLR 93.7FM in particular! Make a statement in the public comment period or just hold up a sign.\n\nSan Francisco Liberation Radio 93.7 FM has been broadcasting for ten\nyears now. Basing our authority to broadcast on the right to freely\nspeak and the rights of individuals to have access to a free and\ndiverse media, we have defied the FCC and brought the people of San\nFrancisco a resource that is truly available to those who wish to use\nit. The station moved across town one year ago last May Day and\nsince then we have received no word from the FCC, until now.\n\nLast Wednesday at about 5pm federal agents came and delivered a\n"notice of illegal broadcasting". They were denied entry\nalthough they threatened up to a $17,000 fine and time in jail. We\nhave ten days to show them either a permit or "authority"\nto broadcast. We have been trying to get the San Francisco Board of\nSupervisors to pass a resolution in support of SFLR and Bay View\nHunter's Point Radio 103.3, but have made limited headway. We hope\nthat this latest visit will be the impetus needed for them to pass a\nresolution in support of freedom in media.\n\nEspecially now, with the new (de)regulations having just been passed\nin the Federal Communications Commission and the media becoming more\nand more homogenous, we need to show the FCC that this is an issue\nworth fighting for. A free and diverse media is not a thing of\ntheoretical importance; it is an absolute necessity for a healthy\ndemocracy! Call your Supervisor! Tell them that this is an issue\nyou care about and they should support a resolution backing San\nFrancisco Liberation Radio 93.7FM and Bay View Hunter's Point Radio\n103.3FM against an overbearing FCC with only the health and wealth of\nCorporate Media at heart!\n\nJake McGoldrick District 1\n(415)554-7410 voice\n(415) 554-7415 fax\nJake.McGoldrick@sfgov.org\n\nGavin Newsom District 2\n(415) 554-5942 voice\n(415) 554-5946 fax\nGavin.Newsom@sfgov.org\n\nAaron Peskin District 3\n(415) 554-7450 voice\n(415) 554-7454 fax\nAaron.Peskin@sfgov.org\n\nFiona Ma District 4\n(415) 554-7460 voice\n(415) 554-7432 fax\nFiona.Ma@sfgov.org\n\nMatt Gonzalez District 5\n(415) 554-7630 voice\n(415) 554-7634\nMatt.Gonzalez@sfgov.org\n\nChris Daly District 6\n(415) 554-7970 voice\n(415) 554-7974 fax\nChris.Daly@sfgov.org\n\nTony Hall District 7\n(415) 554-6516 voice\n(415) 554-6546 fax\nTony.Hall@sfgov.org\n\nBevan Dufty District 8\n(415) 554-6968 voice\n(415) 554-6909 fax\nBevan.Dufty@sfgov.org\n\nTom Ammiano District 9\n(415) 554-5144 voice\n(415) 554-6255 fax\nTom.Ammiano@sfgov.org\n\nSophie Maxwell District 10\n(415) 554-7670 voice\n(415) 554-7674 fax\nSophie.Maxwell@sfgov.org\n\nGerardo Sandoval District 11\n(415) 554-6975 voice\n(415) 554-6979 fax\nGerardo.Sandoval@sfgov.org\n\nhttp://www.liberationradio.net/\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/21973.php SUMMARY:Save San Francisco Liberation Radio LOCATION:City Hall URL:https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/21973.php DTSTART:20030708T210000Z DTEND:20030708T220000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
