2008 KPFA LSB Agenda

Agenda for the KPFA LSB.

(Passed 13-0-3)

Whereas Promoting struggles for peace and justice is an essential part of the Pacifica mission; and KPFA currently allows three kinds of public service announcements - pre-recorded announcements ("carts"), community calendar announcements, and "live read scripts" – but all three options are subject to a series of conditions detailed at http://www.kpfa.org/psa/, such as

• "All events must be submitted by an organization that qualifies
  as tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Service Tax Code 501 (c) 3,"

• "Organizations are allowed one announcement per month,"

Director Hauptman writes:

Candidate forums for this year's delegate elections are scheduled for 8 - 10 pm, on 8 October and 15 October. The forums will feature listener call-ins each hour.

(KPFA presented two more candidate forums in November, so each candidate had two opportunities to address the listeners.)  Here are audio recordings for each forum:

For those who can’t fill out the ballot form, but have means to read web pages and hand write their choices, the KPFA Election Supervisor is allowing hand written choices to be included in the return envelope WITH THE BALLOT, on which is the unique bar code for each individual that indicates a valid ballot. The Local Election Supervisor will then use the hand written note to fill out the ballot, observed by neutral witnesses.
