		<description><![CDATA[Still nothing from Pacifica on when ballots will go out in the  recall of Tracy Rosenberg. As a reminder: Pacifica&#8217;s own rules for recall elections required it to send out ballots no later than December 30, 2011. That&#8217;s nearly 6 weeks ago! One thing Pacifica&#8217;s delay has accomplished (probably by design): it&#8217;s bought Rosenberg time to build a campaign machine, and for the Pacifica-imposed interim manager at KPFA to start using station resources to support her efforts. Thank you to those who have signed the online petition (over 1100 currently) or written letters to Pacifica demanding an impartial recall supervisor. &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/democracy-when-still-no-ballots-and-paychecks-bouncing/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his last newsletter, KPFA interim general manager Andrew Leslie Phillips released first-quarter financial figures for KPFA with little comment. One year ago, the station&#8217;s first-quarter results showed it better than budget by $237,000. This year&#8217;s figures show the station has fallen $60,000 short of budget in just three months. Yikes! The plunge is mostly due to a drop in fundraising during the morning hours. But the situation is actually much worse than it looks. SaveKPFA&#8216;s analysis of KPFA&#8217;s fundraising calendar shows that the station made up from the fundraising plunge during morning hours by massively lengthening KPFA&#8217;s fund drives. &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/the-high-cost-of-bad-management-longer-fund-drives/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pacifica National Board met in Los Angeles during the last weekend in January 2012, spending the majority of its time in executive session consultations that were closed to the public. Of the actions reported publicly, there are two concerning KPFA. First, the board  authorized its chair, Summer Reese, to appoint an elections supervisor to run the KPFA recall vote &#8212; something that should have happened two months ago. Reese said she&#8217;d &#8220;try&#8221; to do it within two weeks. Secondly, Pacifica&#8217;s board has decided to appeal the court injunction that compelled it to seat SaveKPFA representatives Laura Prives and Dan &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/pacifica-national-board-votes-to-waste-listener-dollars/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given how Pacifica is treating KPFA&#8217;s voting members right now, this is going to sound a little weird, but it&#8217;s still true: you need to give money to KPFA. Here&#8217;s why: First, Pacifica will use any shortfall in KPFA&#8217;s fund drives as a pretext for more layoffs. Second, your pledge is your vote. If you want a chance to vote in this recall election, or to run in next fall&#8217;s Local Station Board elections, you have to be a paying member of KPFA. (It takes a minimum of $25 per person per year to join.)

On November 1, KPFA management certified that listener-members had submitted more than enough valid signatures for the vote to proceed. Many who signed the petition added comments. &#8220;Pacifica, stop stalling,&#8221; wrote  Amy Smith, &#8220;KPFA&#8217;s listeners want a fair vote!&#8221;  The election &#8220;must be in the hands of a neutral third party,&#8221; wrote Mary B. &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/600-kpfa-listeners-tell-pacifica-quit-stalling-on-recall-vote/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The campaign by KPFA listeners to recall Pacifica National Board treasurer Tracy Rosenberg has passed an important hurdle. KPFA management certified this week that recall petitions submitted by SaveKPFA activists contained more than enough signatures of KPFA subscribers. The petitions included more than 800 signatures, and 462 were verified on the first pass as precise matches to KPFA&#8217;s subscriber database &#8212; more than the number needed for the recall to go forward. Subsequent matching accounting for name variations, address changes, and so forth brought the number of valid signatures up to 583, or 70% of the total submitted. &#8220;We can&#8217;t &#8230; <a href="http://www.savekpfa.org/recall-moves-ahead-listeners-petition-for-impartial-oversight/  ">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Among the questionable programs broadcast during the drive was one presented by interim general manager Andrew Phillips which promoted far right-wing ideas along with bizarre theories about brain control.

Thanks to your efforts, a delegation of SaveKPFA activists submitted over 800 signatures from KPFA listener-members &#8212; that&#8217;s over twice the number needed &#8212; to trigger a recall ballot under the network&#8217;s bylaws, in which every current member is entitled to vote.
