annual WVKR pledge drive-- please call in to keep us on the air another year!...

Hi all...

Please call in with a pledge (even if it's just $10 or $20) to our
show (with Rich Carlson) on WVKR 91.3 FM http://www.wvkr.org tomorrow
(Fri.) from 5 to 6 pm-- at 437-7178!...(we need 'em to stay on the
air)...

I've hosted a show on WVKR since 1987 (23 years now; music for first
13 years)-- and a call-in talk show (The Real Majority Project) for
the last ten years; we've had Pete Seeger, John Hall, and Patti
Rothberg actually live and direct in the studio; call-in guests over
the last several years on the air have included Bill McKibben, Greg
Palast, Amy Goodman, Medea Benjamin, Jeff Cohen, Neil Seldman, Paul
Connett, David Cay Johnston, Stephen Zunes, Maurice Hinchey, Kirsten
Gillibrand, Scott Murphy, Kevin Cahill, David Ray Griffith, Stephen
Jones, many more (taking calls from folks from across political
spectrum)...

Week in and week out for the last decade I've hosted a call-in talk
show on these twelve censored truths:

[if you want to help to keep getting these facts out-- call in with a
pledge tomorrow 5-6 pm at 437-7178!]

1. The truth about how millionaires here in NYS actually pay less %
in state and local taxes than we do
[see: http://www.itepnet.org/wp2009/ny_whopays_factsheet.pdf ;
http://www.ABetterChoiceforNY.org ]

2. The truth about how the minimum wage should be at least $10/hour
to match value it had under Nixon
[see: http://www.LetJusticeRoll.org ;
http://www.OneNationWorkingTogether.org ; http://www.AFLCIO.org ]

3. The truth about Co. Leg. issues from inside-- resolutions Dems
passed not implemented by Steinhaus
[see: http://www.PoJoWatch.blogspot.com ;
http://www.DutchessDemocracy.blogspot.com ]

4. The truth about how $1B could be saved on electric bills in
Dutchess in 10 yr.'s with energy efficiency

5. The truth about how contaminated our county's groundwater has been
from MTBE all over Dutchess
[see: http://www.RealMajorityProject.blogspot.com ]

6. The truth about our county's wasteful RRA (even in '99 S. Lynch &
I exposed this in Taconic Papers)
[see/sign http://www.petitiononline.com/zeroyes ;
http://www.cectoxic.org/ZeroWastePlatform2010.html ]

7. The truth about how ten times more jobs are created through
recycling compared to incineration
[see: http://www.ilsr.org/recycling/recyclingmeansbusiness.html ]

8. The truth about millions of our county tax dollars involved
annually in legalized kickbacks-- since 90's
[see/sign http://www.petitiononline.com/cleangov ]

9. The truth about how even optical scan voting machines are just as
hackable as touchscreen machines
[see http://www.ElectionTransparencyCoalition.org (recall Ciampoli
quote on WAMC today re: this)]

10. The truth about studies proving immigrants paying far more in
taxes than what they get in services
[see: http://www.aclu.org/immigrants.../immigration-myths-and-facts ]

11. The truth about how smart reforms in our criminal justice system
could save tax dollars and lives
[see: http://www.thenation.com/article/end-war-crime?page=full ;
http://www.Vera.org ]

12. The truth about our country's foreign policy (even in '01, '02,
'03 I opposed war in Afghanistan/Iraq)
[see: http://www.DutchessPeace.org ; http://www.NationalPriorities.org ]

So-- if you want to make sure those twelve censored truths ignored by
local newspapers and other media keep getting out for another year on
WVKR-- call in tomorrow 5-6 pm with a pledge-- at 437-7178!...

p.s. Those twelve reasons above also provide much of the rationale
for our new progressive newspaper project (inspired and informed by
the efforts of Creek Iversen, Gary Kenton, et. al. from the past);
Fishkill's Michael Boyajian has the smarts-- and knows some wealthy
folks interested in pulling together with us to make this happen-- so
join MB and yours truly for a very special pow-wow/strategy
session/mtg. to brainstorm on this-- Saturday (9/11) 10:30 am at
Palace Diner (194 Washington St. in Poughkeepsie)!...

[recall: Michael B. recently put together a successful forum at the
Beahive in Beacon re: "Politics of Hate";
