You have worked your butts until they fell off your body. Think about the future and make it a better place to live." Thank you for the kind words sweet young lady!

I'm a wife, a mother, a secretary, a native Arizonan, and a life-long Democrat who contributes a portion of her hard-earned salary to Democratic ideals and candidates. I would like to know what the Democratic Party is going to do about getting Air America Radio (Phoenix) back on the air. This is the 5th largest city, and Air America Radio is a nationwide radio network. 2006 is an election year - this is no time to get wussy!!! So what the heck just happened here in Phoenix? Are the Democrats going to again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Are we going to once again roll over and take it? The Republicans have many, many media mouthpieces in our valley - the newspaper, television, and, of course, radio. These media mouthpieces, as we all know, help convert listeners into voters. If they're doing all the talking, no one's going to hear what Democrats, Liberals, Progressives stand for!! They are once again going to define us and put words in our mouths because we aren't there to define ourselves. Up until yesterday, we had one radio station (not counting the very good but very cautious NPR radio station.) But today we have none. Yesterday, we could tune in to hear Democrats and Independents and even Republicans debate political ideas, plan upcoming events, and build a community of progressives. Today, we have nothing - zilch, zero, nyet, and nada! With a party that has the perception of being weak and unresponsive, how can we ever expect to win back the Presidency and the Congress. So I'm asking you, why can't the Democratic Party do something? We've got our heavyweights, our sympathetic businesses, our community leaders. It's in all of our best interest to put this radio station back on the air. We can pipe in Al Franken, Randi Rhodes, Dr. Mike Newcomb - whomever you want with a progressive/liberal agenda. Today, we lost our voice. We need to get it back - and quickly!!! Please help to make it happen! I'll do my part! Point me and others like me in the right direction. It's worth our time and effort! With party backing, Jim Pederson, Janet Napolitano, Terry Goddard, Raul Grijalva, Ed Pastor, and others will have a fighting chance at winning elections. Together all of us can create the type of government we can feel proud of again. Thanks! Looking forward to HEARING from you! - F.S. 6 Comments Leave a Comment March DFA / AZ-VOTE Linkup Feb 27, 2006 at 10:48AM Posted by Webstaff in Upcoming Event Wednesday March 1st, 2006 6:30pm Choose from two locations for the March Linkup: Casey Moore's Oyster House 850 S.
