http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/ April 3, 2008 We the undersigned Air America listeners respectfully request the immediate reinstatement without prejudice or penalty of host Randi Rhodes. Her suspension comes at a time when progressive America cannot afford to be deprived of a single voice of passionate reason, even at the expense of political ego. Her comments in San Francisco prompting her suspension did not violate FCC regulations. Though blunt and abrasive, the derogatory remarks about Senator Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro were neither literal nor delivered in such a way as to be expected to be interpreted as such. Air America's suspension of Ms. Rhodes adds considerable weight to comments delivered in a light and comedic fashion. In these times, we treasure Air America as a beacon of truth, free from the corporate mood lights intended to color us with their agendas. The decision to suspend Randi, while perhaps valid per the terms of her contract as an Air America host, is at best a formality and not the will of her listeners. At worst, it is a discretionary action that alienates your listeners in order to smooth corporate and political feathers . We, your loyal listeners, support Randi and her decision to speak freely and we ask that you do not deny us her voice. America for Randi Thu, 3 Apr 2008 11:1:17 CDT en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3962643 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3957801 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST She\'s a high-spirited person who deserves a second, third, furth, even fifth chance. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3938869 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I just found out, was wondering why I was\'nt hearing her on the radio.

Sue tha bastads!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3921907 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST This is a pivotal time in our nation, and we need a strong, educated progressive voice to counter act all the BS put out their by the \'non-liberal\' media. Bring her BACK NOW - please! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3919387 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Bring Randi back. She has amendment rights that were violated! Freedom of speech should be enforced! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3915373 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Good bye AAR and XM radio. Until Randi is on i will not tune in. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3914703 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If this suspension is due to Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign leaning on Air America management to do so because they took offense at what Randi said, then this suspension should be lifted and Randi should be reinstated ASAP. Unless what Randi said is intentionally slanderous or can be reasonably interpreted as such, Randi is covered under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution to say or make fun of public figures like Hillary Clinton or her surrogates and Air America's management should be backing Randi's right to do so. Can't the Clinton people lighten up and take a joke? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3913611 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3913234 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I don't care what you have to do to get Randi back. But do it NOW! As it is the only really great person you have on AA now is Thom Hartmann. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3912718 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/reinstaterandi/#sig3912337 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS, RANDI RHODES WILL BE ON NOVA M RADIO- STREAMS EFFECTIVE, APRIL 14, 2008.
