Additionally, you can expect to receive a hard copy of the petition by the close of business on Wednesday, January 31, 2007.

WEAA, 88.9—FM is a gem to the Baltimore community. Created as a resource for African Americans, WEAA, 88.9—FM offers a wide range of perspectives on issues impacting the African Diaspora. WEAA, 88.9—FM’s decision to discontinue airing “The Powers Report” has infringed on the 1st amendment right inherent to every U.S. citizen: the human right to voice one’s opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment.

Evidenced by the signatories on the attached petition, the people of Baltimore are angered and disturbed by this act of censorship. WEAA, 88.9—FM is an integral part of the heart, soul, and spirit of the people—and the people demand the return of “The Powers Report.”
