>Juan Gonzalez is an award winning journalist and until recently
>was the twice a week co-host of Democracy Now!, Pacifica Radio's
>popular morning news show. His dramatic on-air resignation on
>January 31 reflected the deepening crisis at Pacifica.
>
>He vows to return someday but only after Pacifica's national board
>has been cleansed of the "corporate vultures" he accuses of
>hijacking the nation's only independent, listener sponsored radio
>network. Gonzalez, who was flooded with thousands of emails in
>the wake of his departure, has launched a nationwide effort
>(www.pacificacampaign.org) to unseat the Pacifica board and have
>it reconstituted along democratic lines.
>
>"No power sharing with these folks," he says. "They will soon find
>out this is a listener sponsored radio network."
