Forum Post: Can't go to an event? Start or support your COMMUNITY RADIO station!

I own a pirate radio station. I would like to help broadcast and cover this effort and I applaud EVERY SINGLE PERSON involved with this movement! KEEP FIGHTING! I live in North Attleboro, MA and have a decent transmitter. If someone could get me in touch with local members, I would love to setup my station to provide an outlet for this. The media here aren't covering it, not even WBZ - yesterday, there was only a 1 minute mention of the protest and they quickly went on to other news and never covered it again. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE RADIO DIAL!!! All those radio hosts mentioned above get their paychecks from big media. If their station managers tell them to "shut up" on the topic, they likely will! What needs to happen is people need to organize and setup their OWN community free radio stations. (aka pirate radio) I prefer to think of radio pirates as RADIO PATRIOTS! Support your local "patriot radio" station! Only community based radio can really shine a light on this. Big media is corporate controlled. Starting a community free radio station is EASY! See: http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Set_Up_a_Pirate_Radio_Station and http://www.freeradio.org/ Get on the air and be heard! Help other people do the same. If a lot of people do this, the "Golden Podium" owned by corporate media CANNOT suppress what is going on and why! Reach your community today!

I agree 99%! I am a socalled senior citizen. I pray the action lead by these young adults keeps growing strong. This generation coming toward, graduating from colleges across America, as well as the millions who are in the work force, I will support you! By finely getting sick and tired of being oppresed and standing up to the "wealth machine" that buys it's way into power for the last 99 years. You will be helping a younger pre-school to high school children of our future, to take up your cause and carry on the fight. Our government has left the 99% behind. If you are not successful in this fight for fair distribution of walth in this country. We will be doomed to surfdum like the dark ages. People who are not wealthy will be left to die from illness because they can't afford health care. Don't think of me as a liberal. I am not. I feel we should all pull our weight. Thank you for the oppertunity, Glockem

If anyone has audio or links containing audio (interviews, speeches, etc) please post them or email them to me here or: john (at) wizworks (dot) net. I will broadcast them over the air and build a collection for other radio patriots to download and re-broadcast in other communities. We can DO this!
