Mike Malloy Fired from Air America

Mike Malloy isn't my favorite Air America host but I think he is an important voice for the network. He is not afraid to speak truth to power and he doesn't mince words. He also was a big help in getting Air America Phoenix back on the air. So now it's our turn to help him get back on the air. Below are several ways in which you can help.

From Mike Malloys website:

WEDNESDAY Aug. 30 2006MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIOThere will be no
Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have
been
terminated. We are told its a financial decision.We are as shocked as
you are,
especially since as recently as last Tuesday we were told we had
the go-ahead to
announce our return to NY airwaves and that our contract was
"on the way."We are
told its a financial decision.More details to follow as
we hear them ourselves.

“This is not a published news article, but I think it qualifies as LBN.

This is Kathy Bay Malloy and we just got news that as of this minute
we’ve been terminated by Air America Radio.
We don’t have all the details
yet, but got a tip from someone who’d seen the new network lineup that we
weren’t included after all. We just had that confirmed by one of the suits a few
minutes ago. We’re told that its a financial decision.
Thank you so much for
your ongoing support and we’ll keep you updated as we receive more
information.
Kathy Bay Malloy”

Red Handed Team Gets Media Coverage

Moveon's Red Handed team protested JD Hayworth at Childress Buick Saturday August 26, 2006. He was addressing a group of bikers about immigration but we were there to let people know about his voting record on veterans benefits. Channel 5 and channel 15 were there and we got excellent coverage on channel 15 that evening. One of our members was able to get plenty of airtime and did an excellent job of getting our talking points across and framing the issue. As I watched the video footage of Hayworth I could hear our chanting in the background, he was visibly irked. It was a very successful protest and we hope to repeat it several times until election day.

Moveon's Red Handed Team Hounds Hayworth!

On August 26th


We will be at the following event to let everyone know about JD's voting record on Veterans benefits. We will be there with our Big Red Hands and facts about the atrocious way in which JD has treated veterans with his voting record. Please stop by to show the media that we want our veterans taken care of like our congress people are taken care of!

Saturday, Aug. 26 for a lunch and beverage run to

The ride will commence at 9 a.m. sharp.

This here's the facts about Hayworths voting record on veterans benefits. Keep it for evidence that he's been caught RED HANDED voting against the best interests of our veterans!

FACT: Representative Hayworth Voted to Cut Benefits for Veterans.. Representative Hayworth voted for a budget that slashed health care for our nation'sveterans. The budget required the House Veterans' Affairs (VA) Committee to cutbenefits or to tax veterans by increasing their fees. According to the CongressionalBudget Office, the budget resolution required Congress to make $155 million in cuts toveterans' benefits in fiscal year 2006, and $798 million over the next five years, by fiscalyear 2011.Source: [H Con Res 95, Vote #88, 3/17/05, http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll088.xml;House Committee on Veteran's Affairs, Minority Office,http://veterans.house.gov/democratic/press/109th/3-17-05budget.htm.]. According to National Commander Thomas P. Cadmus, the leader of the AmericanLegion, the nation's largest veterans' organization, the budget resolution "falls short ofveterans funding needs, especially during a time when this nation is at war. We have anew generation of veterans who will need medical services for many years to come."Source: [US Newswire, 3/18/05]. While Sending Our Troops To War. Rep. Hayworth voted to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq inthe original resolution that sent our servicemen and women to Iraq.
