Friends,

I have some AWFUL news to report, and it requires us to take IMMEDIATE action.

One of the top talk radio stations in this nation, KFBK 1530 Sacramento - yes, the very same station that launched the Rush Limbaugh Show - has FIRED their pro-troop talk radio host, Mark Williams, and replaced him with a left-wing, anti-war radical.

The move is shocking, especially since Williams' show beat out his competition in the ratings, and especially since the liberal who is replacing Williams is a man who has announced his strong support for the tactic of having anti-war protestors target the funerals of military personnel.

Mark Williams in contrast helped lead, organized and then traveled with the "Voices of Soldiers" tour with Move America Forward to Iraq. He won a Mark Twain Journalism Award from the Associated Press for his incredible live reports from Iraq. Williams also helped to launch the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" caravan we led across the nation to
Crawford, Texas to rally support for our troops. Mark Williams has led and organized and promoted countless pro-troop rallies. Mark has helped us to send over 15 TONS of coffee and cookies to our troops. And there has been NO stronger voice for securing our borders then Mark Williams.

Mark has ALWAYS been there for our cause, and now we must stand up and speak out in his defense. I've been notified that military support groups have started a campaign to call, email and FAX the radio station and their parent company. It's time for all of us to stand side by side with these military families.

Here's what we need to do - we need to SPEAK UP. I need you to send an email, make a phone call and send a FAX. Let's light up the phone lines of KFBK and their parent company, Clear Channel, and let's tell them that we won't sit back and say nothing as they replace a pro-military talk show hosts with someone from the Air America crowd.

1) FIRST: Send an email to these people and let them know you are saddened by the news that Mark Williams has been fired and replaced with an anti-war liberal. I've also included the email addresses for 2 reporters covering this issue - include them on the same emails. We need them to hear our voices!

jeffholden@clearchannel.com
markpmays@clearchannel.com
apeterson@radioandrecords.com
smcmanis@sacbee.com

2) SECOND: Place a telephone call and politely and calmly state that you are calling to have them add your name to those who are disappointed with the decision by KFBK to fire pro-military talk show host, Mark Williams.

The number to call: (916) 576-2223

We need them to get TENS of THOUSANDS of phone calls. So, please, if the line is busy when you call, try back a few minutes later.

3) THIRD: Please also send a FAX and let the management at KFBK know how thoroughly displeased you are to see this station switch from being a proud sponsor of our troops and their mission, and becoming a mouthpiece for an anti-war, left-wing agenda.

The FAX number is: (916) 921-5555

...So, please let's get this information posted on all the military support group websites. If you have a pro-troop email list, perhaps you can send this out to them?

Thank you!
