THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! A special "thank you" to everyone who has called or written 630 WMAL on my behalf. You have left the entire organization stunned and amazed. And you've done the impossible--left me speechless.
I don't have definite numbers, but based on specifics that I have been able to gather from various sources, a total of around 10,000 emails were sent to the various email addresses at 630 WMAL. It's PHENOMENAL. And more importantly, it blew away the few hundred pro-CAIR emails and phone calls the station received.
Just so you know, it's working. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's may not be a train. I have not been contacted by the station, but the back chatter is getting much more positive. And it's all because the listeners have spoken.
Thank you again!
SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? I am off all this coming week for a long-planned vacation and work session with a charity I support. I don't want to mention them now and drag them into the controversy, but I'm very excited about what I'll be doing next week.
And yes--next week's vacation has been on the calendar for months. I'm just laughing like crazy about the reports that somehow my suspension is a stunt.
Trust me: CAIR is not playing games. They are making threats and shaking down our advertisers and trying to intimidate everyone concerned. The worst part is that, in the past, it has almost always worked for CAIR. They've managed to scare a lot of people into silence.
But not everyone.
However, to keep them from succeeding in their stated objective of getting me fired, I need your help. I'll be travelling next week and will have a hard time monitoring the mainstream press, the CAIR website, etc. Please, please, PLEASE email me with anything you see or hear about CAIR, their threats against my station, etc., etc.
Thanks for your help. If we stick together, we can we a great victory for freedom of speech and common sense.
A few years ago, in my hometown, the local arab bigwig tried to get a local DJ fired when he dared speak ill of the "Religion of Peace". This arab owned one of the bigger businesses in town, so he carried a lot of clout. The station manager impolitely told him where to shove it. Conversely, at the same station (this station carries Rush, Hannity, Savage, et.al.) one of their DJ's started whining about the war in Iraq and how it was all Israel's fault. He, likewise, was impolitely shown the door.
My emails were very simple. WMAL supports CAIRrorists!! It didnt take too much time. If you havent already, send one today!!
As I wrote on another thread, ABC should read this...........

and then tell CAIR to take a hike or ABC will air all CAIR's dirty laundry in a courtroom.
That will end the extortion and threats from CAIR>
I'm hitting the list of advertisers EVERY DAY that michael graham is off the air with an email regarding this issue. How the islamic apologist organizations are understandably upset because michael graham allowed them to come on the air and he evicerated their shallow rhetorical arguments in the public forum. How much I admire Mr Graham for having the COURAGE to do so even if it risked his job. And how my disappointed I am in the decision of this management to submit themselves to dhimmitude under pressure from the islamic censors.
It seems that our conservative radio station is about speaking the truth to power until that power retaliates, then they fold like a cheap tent.
Great listing...bttt
Done
Thanks for that list. Just sent my first one.
Just getting the details about this. I just sent an e-mail to their station.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1453716/posts <--- all the info you need to apply pressure to the WMAL radio station in protest of their cowardly dhimmitude in the face of pressure from a couple hundred calls from an islamic terrorist front group
Michael,
I just sent them the following note:
Please reconsider Michael Graham's suspension from his show. It is a virtual certainty that most of the complaints you've received regarding his article in the JWR were prompted by a mass emailing from CAIR. Whether Islam is a terrorist organization may be debateable, but there can be little doubt that CAIR is terrorist affiliated.
Although I may not agree with everything Michael espouses, but I gave this country 12 years of military service, including close to two years in Vietnam, to ensure his right to say them.
I urge you to reconsider your decision and not knuckle under to a genuine terrorist front-group like CAIR.
I must have missed it. What did he say to piss of CAIR?
News release from cair (it doesn't deserve to be capitalized): islam is not violent. muslims are so sure of this they'll kill anyone who says they are.
Thank you for that list.
What is wrong with calling a snake a snake? When did we loose the right to free speech in this country? Three cheers for Michael Graham.
