Help Bring Air America Radio to Cedar Rapids-Iowa City

  Help bring Air America Radio to the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City Corridor


Hey, radio fans, are you tired of Rush Limbaugh and the right wing
lies, distortions, and propaganda every time you turn on the radio for news?  

Well, you are not alone and now you can do something about it.  You can
help bring sane, reality-based, progressive talk radio to the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City
area.  If you live in or near the IC-CR Corridor area, please
visit our online petition where there are already almost 200
names!  Here is a sample of the lively, enthusiastic comments from
signers:  

Isn't it about time for a progressive radio station in the IC/CR corridor??



We need more voices, more points of view — and facts.




I'm sick of RWWs having all the air time.




We desperately need progressive radio in Cedar Rapids to offset the malicious right wing stations.




I listen to Air America online, and will definitely tune in daily when
it hits the airwaves in Iowa City. This is the place, and the time is
now! Be the savvy station that brings progressive radio to our area!




We have too much corporate radio now.




Oh, please! We're starved for a progressive perspective on radio
airwaves. I no longer listen to any local station (except KUNI-NPR)
because they just make me sick.




PLEASE bring PR to this area. PUHLEEZE!




Just have enough power to reach to Des Moines please.




I think this is a great idea and probably will make money for any station that makes such a change.




I listen to NPR at WSUI Iowa City and would like to have an Air America
station there too, so they could enjoy the same wonderful programming
we have in Davenport.  


The Quad Cities already has an Air America Radio station at Davenport,
IA – WKBF-AM 1270.  If they can do it, we can do it!
