| 6 | Adam Vos | Free Speech Radio News is essential to Pacifica's purposes. It's not only an "anchor" program; it is much more. What is Pacifica as a foundation and as a network without this program to proclaim its presence? There may be money in the bank, but not much more. Please fix Pacifica's funding woes with more lasting, effective methods than cutting programs. |

| 9 | Anonymous | You must continue to find ways to support FSRN. In an era of unprecedented media consolidation, FSRN is one of the few remaining beacons of journalistic integrity. |

| 12 | Anonymous | I have been a part of a radio station that has broadcasted FSRN for several years. This community and our greater world needs it. Please sustain funding to let us continue. Thank you |

| 14 | Robinson Block | I try to listen up every weekday at 5:30 on KPFT, Where I am a member. |

| 17 | Lynda Carson | I try to listen to FSRN everyday, and would feel totally in the dark without it! Do not turn out the lights at FSRN! |
| 18 | Cynthia Hamilton | As a regular contributor to Pacifica, I am very disappointed with the decision to cut Free Speech Radio News' funding. FSRN is a program that Pacific must fully support. It is a service that listeners around the world find important. I understand that with the current budget crises difficult decisions have to be made, but this one is just wrong. |

| 22 | Cecilia Brennan | DO NOT GET RID OF FSRN!
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR THIS NEWS SOURCE IN ANY OF THE LOCAL PACIFICA STATIONS THAT I HAVE HEARD. FSRN IS LIKE A LIFELINE. THE NEWS AND STORIES ARE IN-DEPTH, WELL-RESEARCHED, AND ALWAYS RELEVANT.
WE, AS LISTENERS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE LOCAL PACIFICA STATIONS, DESERVE AND DEMAND FSRN. DO NOT TAKE IT FROM US.
THANK YOU. |

| 31 | adrian maldonado | i am a long time listen and supporter of pacifica radio. I very much wish to continue to have Free Speech Radio News on Pacifica. I believe it is a vital resource to our community. |
| 32 | Anjali Verma | |
| 33 | Elena | Please continue to properly fund this invaluable community resource. It is a much needed source of news and information untainted by corporate interests. |
| 34 | Sarah Cameron | |
| 35 | Brian Shiratsuki | Cut something else less important. |

| 38 | Susan da Silva | We need FSRN. How else will those reporters all over the World get their news out? How else will we really know what's going on out there? Please find the money to keep FSRN going. |

| 40 | sally sommer | It seems obvious to me that KPFA/Pacifica needs to support and present independent, alternative news. What is the alternative? Gathering news from the same sources as MSM? FSRN has been successful as an alternative news collective. Isn't that exactly what Pacifica should be encouraging and supporting? I think so. |
| 41 | Scott Wachenheim | How about a special fund raising day to benefit FSRN? I t provides a dimension of news coverage missing on KPFA. WE depend on it for our news source. |

| 44 | Matthew Gossage | Free Speech Radio News is an asset to this country and its independent media. Please continue the funding so I can continue to support Pacifica.
Thank you. |
| 45 | Samuel O'Brien | I love FSRN! It's the only place I feel that I get accurate accounts of what effect global events have on average citizens. |

| 47 | William M. Mandel | Having had for 37 years the most popular KPFA show by a single individual, which was canceled not for budgetary reasons (I never got a cent, nor
asked for it) but to provide a time slot for a young person), I know something about the global media justice movement. Pacifica has to realize that radio, like all other performance fields, is to a major degree a matter of personality. An individual has to have what it takes to build and hold an audience. That is just as true of voices of marginalized communities as of all other broadcasters. When people wrote in of "Mandel's golden voice" they were dealing with a reality of radio just as when in dealing with writers the author's style is no less important that the content. |
| 48 | Molly McClure | |
| 49 | William M. Mandel | The paragraphs above state my position. |
| 50 | Gaurav Jashnani | I listen to FSRN several times every week, and think that it is by far one of the best programs that Pacifica stations broadcast. Losing it would mean losing some of the best coverage that Pacifica does, as well as losing many loyal listeners (including myself). |
