Ever-Body
I would not like to see any of our folks on the national resign they are all 
doing a top notch job even without fucus on the real issue that effects this 
community.

Localism, Total Control that can only happen with wpfw broadcast license 
from Pacifica and if you think the attack on the mission statement just came 
up on a local level, i got news for you, long long time ago in the struggle 
to save/wpfw/pacifica movement that was a hot burner issue from a lot of 
folks that now set on the national.

I hope that Ambrose and the others on the national fully understand they set 
in a den of thieves that is trying to come though the back door to take 
total control of programming in the network with that move at the last pnb 
meeting to hire a National Program Director.

If that happen only god can help the wpfw mission statement in the future 
knowing what i do about the back room parlor tricks that took place with Amy 
Goodmans contract, that in a since gave away the Store/Pacifica, in the list 
of supporters for funds and the only producer or programmer that has total 
control over content of programming as a individual without pacifica 
supervision, that to me cross the line.

It's true that the only way Pacifica, as a network can survive is to hire a 
National Program Director and thats because as a foundation and network they 
have total responsibility and control over programming and it's content to 
the fcc, an issue that i brought to the PNB that took over 13 years for the 
PNB to admit thats a fact.

It was in 1977 to 1990  when i was on air at wpfw the individual fcc 
broadcast license holder had  control and the responsibility for programming 
and it's content to the fcc and now it belongs to the owner of the broadcast 
license that happen to be the pacifica foundation and thats the real issue 
as to why we need that license as a community.

I was the first fired and ban from pacifica/wpfw for over 13 years for not 
signing a programmer agreement back in 1989 over this issue of resposibility 
and control over programming and it's content and never gave up the fight 
not even to this day.

Because i know how importaint it is to have control over our emergency 
communication outlet, Mayfair Mansions prove that for me, when i advocated 
over and over on the air waves of wpfw/pacifica that the Nation of Islam do 
something to save our children from them selves and rest is history for the 
black folks that lived in fear from that so call war on drugs on blacks in 
America.

As a person that has push more strings than i can ever pull, and they are 
the one's that can pull the strings, i also don't want Mark or Ambrose to 
resign, i just would like for them to fucus on the real issue facing our 
community communication outlet and not buy in to a false dream.

Mark and Ambrose please don't resign, this community  needs you as this 
struggle continue, Peace and Love, The Way We Were>>>>>Billy Ray
