[Peace-discuss] WEFT needs you

[Sandra Ahten]

How are you going to persuade more people to join the peace movement? 
Through education? Those who are just beginning to question the lies that 
mainstream news sources tell them will not take the time to go to search 
something off of the web. It is hard to get them to a lecture or teach in. 
But you might get them to change their radio station for an hour each day 
and tune into Amy Goodman's War and Peace report on Democracy Now!

If you think this is important. It is important that you support WEFT 
(90.1FM)financially during there present pledge drive. If you think the 
public affairs programming is important on WEFT, call in during that time.

We have had tremendous support during 4-5pm time slot during the last two 
days. Many AWARE members have already called. We need to hear from the rest 
of you. Calling in is better than just sending your renewal form in if you 
want it to be know that you would like your pledge to influence programming 
toward more public affairs.

WEFT has to make $30,000 during this drive to stay on the air. I know that 
some of you think that DN! should be broadcast during a different time and 
more often. Did you know that some Pacifica affiliates aren't even 
broadcasting the two hours? We need to recognize that we are privleged to 
have what we have, even if we want more. Don't think about a financial 
boycott to get more public affair. It makes no sense. WEFT needs the money 
just to keep what we have. Instead think about supporting WEFT by calling in 
your pledge during the broadcast of DN!

In solidarity,
Sandra Ahten
AWARE member and WEFT programming committee (PC)member
