KPFA: They're Back - Save KPFA Bush/Cheney Law Firm Sues Again - Wants more than 25K
In their ongoing campaign to destroy KPFA, Kill KPFA has sicced Dhillon and Smith, founded by the co-chair of Lawyers for Bush/Cheney 2004 on the Pacifica Foundation again. They are demanding more than $25,000 from Pacifica listeners. Who will get laid off to pay the tab this time?
Kill KPFA (who likes to call themselves Save KPFA, but their actions point to a different result) has unleashed Harmeet Dhillon, the high-priced lawyer who co-chaired Lawyers for Bush/Cheney 2004, on the Pacifica Foundation again, adding to a blizzard of lawsuits, grievances and complaints that number more than a dozen in a 90-day period of time.
This time, papers filed in Alameda Superior Court, object to the actions of the local board down at the Los Angeles Pacifica station KPFK, which planned to redo an internal election for the station's national board representatives after more than 10 members of the board (40% of the voters) complained of a ballot that had the names of people who weren't candidates on it and other procedural problems.
The Bush-Cheney lawyers are requesting the Alameda Superior Court intervene in Pacifica's attempts to honor the complaints by correcting the problems reported and demanding more than $25,000 in damages and litigation costs from Pacifica listeners to pay for their attempt to prevent a simple redo that is scheduled for February 9th and will take about an hour.
This rightwing assault needs to be stopped.
Tell Kill KPFA to knock it off at savekpfa [at] gmail.com.
Mutual assured destruction is the tactic of lunatics. We don't need progressive luminaries who launch air-guided missiles at community media. They can take their Bush-Cheney lawyers elsewhere.
