increasingly, universities are selling out their communities to public radio conglomerates and independent voices will be a thing of the past. i am hoping that the board of supervisors will help by making a stand. not only will you be showing support but you will be sending a message that independent radio should be cherished. i am hoping that this resolution will be the first that in a series of policy changes that will help to ensure radio all over the country. please help us. thank you. >> hello, thank you very much for the opportunity to speak. i want to thank the supervisor

for his focused support and caring on the board that supported this resolution. i have been a san francisco resident for the press to 38 years and a proud and volunteer and a producer of a program for the past 27 years. i think it is important that the board fully understands the role that is played with as a community resource through the cultural programming. the cultural programming service the community at large and underserved communities, many of whom are your constituents through a variety of quality news, information, culture, music. there are two shows next week that serve the chinese community and polish, german, french, armenian shows that are

part of the programming. i am asking to carefully digest what my fellow volunteers are doing. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> i am a longtime san francisco artists to lives in the city. what happened several days ago it is ironic in the face of the fact that congress recently passed pro -- what gestation for the first time in a dozen years.

-- legislation for the first time in a dozen years. i did not bring a copy of the nation magazine that printed this. the head of the radio project and commented that she was tumbled in the face of this support for low wave radio. putting the and leaders in front of a microphone was in power in. -- putting the future leaders in front of a microphone was in power iempowering. the there is a peculiar kind of

public and private face that is going on. >> the smart leaders are being put in an. sometimes people are not able to getting increase.

this is wireless. there are risks and to the natural electrical grid, homes and individual meters. interference from meters affect electronics, circuit interrupters, medical devices like pacemakers, and a heart rhythm disturbances. you have heard others that were mentioned. there is also dna damage and stress. this research is increases. opposition to these meters are growing. we had renewed ordnances

stopping the meters. others are in the process of considering ordinances. it is up to us to do this. i would like to mandate disconnection of existence monitors infrastructure here. thank you. >> thank you, next beaker. good afternoon. -- next speaker. and during the last 18 months of my volunteering, i have provided about three -- nine hours of

exclusive in the pot for the bay area. -- indie pop in the bay area. i was saddened by our change of not being on the air because i will not able to provide exposure for bands in the area. also for longtime listeners, i came to san francisco in 1980. it was a requirement of my job to listen to the current and sore. now listening to other programming, i came -- i became excited about what our community is. if you do look san francisco and made a radio show out of it, we would be it. almost as much so as cable cars,

the towers, we are a part of the cultural landscape. that is what brings me to my outrage at the decision of the university of san francisco to virtually singlehandedly changed that landscape. this is tantamount to one person deciding that cable cars should not exist anymore because no one really writes them anyway. i encourage you to get behind saving the radio station and the resolutions to do so and also follow us up to the sec and lend your way to our argument and support community radio. thank you. >> i am an attorney here in san francisco. i host a cultural show on kusf.

it deals with the issues of ordinary people here in san francisco. as we move forward with this fight, we take to their sense of justice with them and we ask more than anything for you to join us in this fight as we move forward to the sec and to state courts in san francisco. with that, i asked you to stand with us today, tomorrow, stand with this moving forward.

>> i was watching a documentary related to world war ii and was reminded of how an entire nation an entire nation wide. our country's check and balances are supposed to keep private agendas in control and give accountability to possible criminal conduct. the black budget is out of control that it becomes counterproductive to the welfare of the people and to the

economy. an example of this is a corporations earmarked for federal agencies being siphoned through the cia. the black budget report, an investigation into the black budget discloses a trillion dollars a year was being siphoned in accounting irregularities from organizations like hud into black budget progress -- projects which are not accountable to congress. here are some copies and you can look them up on the internet. this might seem like a federal problem to the supervisors but actually this is a local problem because local governments are responsible for

housing and these federal agencies are providing housing through agencies like hud. >> i have been in san francisco since 1964. and there is a smart meter below mine building. i had insomnia. -- there is a smart leader in my building. i cannot even remember the most common words. i was dizzy all of the time. the stickiest thing is that this is cumulative and slow. after about three months, i was

very busy. one time, i stood up from sitting near a powerful -- power pole. you will see people with bright red faces. these are people who have been sitting at a computer for a long time. your brain has no pain sensors in aunt. i found out it was a smart leader -- meter. i don't know the extra meters that are put an end. what will happen to everyone. they might be able to make decisions.

i just want you to know what is coming down the pipe and for aid -- and i would like your support for no more small meters. >> i am a san francisco resident. large amounts of the city are being exposed to rf radiation. as a parent, i fear for my child's health knowing that there is scientific evidence that exposure to the type of radiation can cause abnormal cell growth. there is also hundreds of undocumented illnesses reported

and the results from exposure. safety is another concern. there has been reports of smarmy is working incorrectly. i've learned of the is smart leader fired through my neighborhood told me he had witnessed a smart meter on fire and burning the wall it was on. a representative tried to blame the fire on the homeowner. my neighbor told me that this was a scary experience to see a smart leader on fire. this issue needs your immediate attention and order to prevent what could become a catastrophe to health, safety, building costs and security. please join us in executing an emergency ordinance to halt smart meter installations.

i have a couple of copies of -- thank you for listening to my comment. >> thank you, next speaker. >> i have lived in san francisco for 59 years. unfortunately, i've seen this city go from the first class to the last class. can you help this grieving mother?

it makes a lot of us deal embarrassed that she has to come up here time after time asking for help and nothing is done. i am wondering why my district supervisor continuously refuses to talk about that situation there. if i remember correctly, it is in district 7. secondly, the department of public health former head is gone. the former head of san francisco general hospital is gone and the

former head of -- is gone. i think that you have enough leeway now to politically connected it the department of public health. how much are going to waste. the poor and needy need opportunities could of -- the poor and needy need opportunities. thank-you. >> good afternoon. i want to thank you for the consideration and support of the resolution declaring january 30th the day of civil liberties. i also would like to thank the

board of education. -- active from the strong sense of fairness and justice. his attorneys of the northern california aclu gave him the opportunity to challenge the right to an expanded his understanding. despite the ruling of the supreme court in 1943, -- refused to give up and 40 years later, when he was approached to open his case, he was still

determined to write a great wrong. the case talons the wartime internment of persons. also paxon is, that the which the government -- he remains on the pages of our legal and political history. there is a constant caution that in times of four or declared military necessity, our institutions must be vigilant in protecting guarantees. it stands at a caution that the shield of military necessity and national security was not be used to protect the government. pinky. and -- thank you. >> i am speaking on behalf of

the -- resolution. there is material provided through the schools. i understand that this is pointed cost a little money and i know the chapter will do what it can to raise those funds to raise those educational kids like we have in the past. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am here to be here in support of the -- resolution. i stand before you as the first japanese-american to be elected to the school board. i should not have been the

i encourage you to join us on february 15th for the women making history celebration. >> i am a longtime san francisco resident. i would like to urge you today to support the resolution regarding sales of kusf. this is a tragedy. this is a gem for our community. losing that would be shameful. i urge you to help us shame the university of san francisco into reconsidering what is clearly a hasty and secretive deal to rid themselves of something they no longer want on their spread should.

-- on the spread sheet. there is chinese-language programming, the weekend shows, everything. even classical music. my other pleasure has been teaching the students who come through their in their real world aspect of what it means to work in media production. something no one ever seems to do. i urge you to support. it took every fiber of my been not to buttonhole you and talk about this. thank you. -- of my being not too.

a person was yanked off the air and turned off the transmitter in the middle of my show. as much as i would like to get my show back on the air, this is not about the music, this is about public access to the airwaves. public access is lidle. 90.3 should be accessible to the committee that created. >> public access is vital -- public access is vital. this will likely be a college radio station as we know them. nothing against college radio, i like some of it myself. more importantly, we need to get these local progress back on the air.
