[PAA-Discuss] KPFT board election ballots -- send them in!

[Bill Crosier]

For all you KPFT members out there --

If you've already sent in your ballot, congratulations and thanks (no 
matter who you voted for) -- you've done your part to make sure the 
election is not extended past next Wednesday, so the station can stop 
playing the candidate statements that I'm sure you are getting tired 
of.

If you have NOT already sent in your ballot, remember that they need 
to be RECEIVED by Wednesday, Oct. 15 (same day your income tax return 
is due if you requested an extension).  So you procrastinators may 
need to attend to both of these pretty quickly.  You don't have to 
rank every candidate, although I suggest you do rank at least your 
top 3 or 4 choices.

For the KPFT ballots, in order for them to be received by next 
Wednesday, I strongly suggest you make sure they are picked up by the 
postal service by Saturday.  Monday is a federal holiday (Columbus 
day), and mail will not be picked up then.

If you're afraid you won't get your ballot mailed in time, or you 
didn't get one, or lost yours, or have other questions, please 
contact Ann Shaw, our Local Election Supervisor, at election at kpft.org 
and ask her what to do.  To play it safe, if you don't get your 
ballot in the mail right away, you can bring yours to the station at 
419 Lovett Blvd. in person next Tuesday or Wednesday, but you need to 
be there between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Ann can also give you a 
replacement ballot then if you are a member (she'll check), in case 
you lost yours or didn't get one.

If you still have not made up your mind who to vote for or how to 
rank your top choices, the last candidate forum will be broadcast 
tomorrow (Friday) morning in the Open Journal time slot, from 9:05 AM 
until 10 AM (with a few breaks).  If you miss the on-air forums, you 
can listen online by finding the Open Journal programs in the KPFT 
audio archives at http://archive.kpft.org  The LSB candidate forum 
dates have been Sep. 21, 22, and 23,  and Oct. 7, 8, and 9 
(yesterday, today, and tomorrow).

Written candidate statements plus questionnaire responses (more info 
than is in the candidate pamphlet you got in the mail) along with 
photos and audio candidate spots are at

Thanks for supporting KPFT, our station for peace!

Bill
