RADIO SHOW UPDATE
It’s really too bad. My network will be closed today. They’ll replay last week’s excellent show. I wanted to talk about stories like . . .
“As Primaries Begin, the FEC Will Shut Down”
We could’ve started by playing Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration.” Ha Ha! This is great news. This bit of news is not as good as closing the FEC, but it’s a great step in the right direction. Hooray for logjams, stalemates, and gridlock — when it’s happening in a Washington, DC, alphabet-soup bureaucracy — especially one as un-Constitutional as the FEC is.
But even though I won’t be on today, we still need to take advantage of the new opportunities coming our way.
I’ve received some inquiries for new sponsors. But thus far, none have signed up. I really need some additional sponsors as I go from a one hour to two hour show. And your sponsorship might become a great deal _after_ I sign with a FM talk station in the heartland. I’ve got opportunities starting at $160 per month. But they’ll be gone AFTER I’m on the air with this FM station.
Directly support a great program. Indirectly support DownsizeDC.org. And reach some of the greatest potential customers you’ll ever want to meet with your product, service, or cause. (Partisan campaigns will not be considered, and I reserve the right to judge whether a certain advertiser is consistent with the tone and image of the show.)
