Amy Goodman's recent visit to Fresno
helped propel her new book to the New York
Times Bestseller List. We
sold over 60 copies of her new book, Breaking The Sound Barrier
,
during the luncheon.
Amy Goodman, award-winning host of Democracy
Now! and New York Times best-selling
author has been on
tour this November to release her new book, Breaking
the Sound Barrier, a
collection of articles edited by Denis
Moynihan, with an Introduction by PBS legend Bill Moyers.
Featuring overflow audiences, as covered by the Los
Angeles Times and Mail
Tribune,
hundreds of people across the country have been "Going
Goodman" instead of "Going Rogue,"
listening to stories from Breaking
the Sound Barrier, that put in the place of the usual
suspects,
voices and viewpoints the corporate media exclude and ignore
-- a model which clearly caught the
attention of the Canadian Border
Patrol, who outrageously detained, questioned, and searched
Goodman
for over 90 minutes this Thanksgiving, over fear of what she may say
about the
Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
And for those who want
to see what all the fuss is about, links to buy
a copy of Breaking
the Sound Barrier, which just
hit the New York Times bestseller list
are below.

Free Speech? How about some Free Music?
KFCF and the Fresno Free College Foundation
received a grant from
the Fresno Arts Council to do a restoration
project on our audio archives.
These tapes were decaying due to a faulty
tape formulation that was turning
the tape into a gooey mess that made it
near impossible to play the tape.
Using a baking and digitization process we
have now converted most of
these libraries to a digital format. KFCF will be
placing some of these
treasures on-line for our members and listeners to
stream.

Pacifica Radio and KFCF
to Re-launch Acclaimed National Politics Program
Letters to Washington Takes a Hard Look at the Debates, the Deals,
the
Scandals, and the Controversies around Capitol Hill
(Berkeley, CA – September 3, 2009) As Congress returns from its August
recess,
so does Pacifica’s acclaimed
look at national politics from a progressive perspective
– Letters to
Washington hosted by Mitch Jeserich.
Starting on Wednesday, September 9th, the day after Congress returns to
take up
such issues as healthcare,
global warming and the war in Afghanistan, Pacifica Radio
and KPFA will
launch this weekly 2 hour series.
From tea baggers and armed right wing protesters greeting President Obama
outside
town hall meetings to the death
of Senator Ted Kennedy to Attorney General Eric Holder
appointing a
special prosecutor to investigate torture,
a dramatic national story about the
future of the country unfolded during
the traditionally quiet Congressional
August recess. Next week it's for real. Lawmakers return to Washington
to wheel and
deal on bills that could
shape the country on everything from health care to global warming
for
decades to come.
“In a time of political and economic turbulence, Letters to Washington has
a stellar
track record of bringing to a wide audience what Pacifica does best – shining a bright
light on the
workings of those in power to hold them
to account,” says KPFA General Manager Lemlem Rijio.
Pacifica Radio and Letters to Washington will bring special coverage to
the debates,
the deals, the scandals,
and the controversies around Capitol Hill.
“With Letters to Washington,
we aim to cut through the rhetoric
and get to the heart of what is actually happening and being proposed,”
says host Mitch
Jeserich.
The program will air live on KFCF, Fresno on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
from 10am to
11 AM

GEORGE "ELFIE" BALLIS
Elfie is an
historic figure. An ex-marine,who had been a labor reporter in Chicago, he
came to Fresno in 1953
to edit the Valley Labor Citizen. He went on to
document via photos, the farmworker movement,
the UFW and social justice
movements. George, a long time friend of KPFA and KFCF, often
featured
on local shows, has been seriously ill, and the doctors do not give George
much longer.
On November 22, 2009, he held an "End Game party" to celebrate
his life at the Sun Mountain house.
KFCF's Mike Rhodes was there, and
captured it on tape. Here is the show that aired on November
