CL's/"Save KPFA's" Competing Fund Drive Violates the Duty of Loyalty of Their LSB Members
Concerned Listener/Save KPFA LSB members step across the line with competing fund drive and get sued by a shareholder after many complaints and requests to stop were ignored.
When you run for office for governance of a corporation, regular or non-profit, and get elected you have a duty of undivided loyalty. At a time when Pacifica is having serious financial problems and KPFA runs a fund drive, CL/"Save KPFA" runs a competing fund drive to raise money to try to leverage management to do what they want management to do. From the "Save KPFA" web site:
"If Pacifica does the right thing, we will bundle your pledges and submit them to KPFA as part of a special fund." (Who decides for Pacifica what is the right thing?)
This from the group that said in their campaign program, CL web site:
"It is not the Board’s role to directly intervene in the daily life of the station or micromanage programming or management." ( I guess what they really mean is that it is their job to make the decisions, be "the decider")
"We know how to organize and fund raise. That is a handy skill, which CL has turned to aiding the station. We are committed to raising $50,000 to boost KPFA’s signal so that it can reach new audiences." (And they use their "know how" to compete with a KPFA fund drive when the station and Pacifica are in serious financial trouble?)
It seems quite clear that CL/"Save KPFA" is more concerned about its personal agenda than the financial stability of KPFA/Pacifica. Perhaps CL needs to go back and read their own propaganda. Or maybe just admit that they are major hypocrites, saying whatever they think they need to say to disguise their constant push to control KPFA outside the normal channels so they can continue the patronage and cronyism of their past regimes.
Or is this just another demonstration of Brian Edwards-Tiekert's political philosophy "How do we make our enemies own the problems that are to come?" http://peoplesradio.net/Dismantle.htm
See how CL created the Pacifica Financial Crisis and what they have done in the past ten years to sabotage the new democratic bylaws, http://peoplesradio.net/'09_2issues.htm.

Honest debating of issues is in the Pacifica Tradition, Anonymous Lies are not.
