Subject: The Power To Sell Lithia Park To Developers is on the May Ballot !
***Please forward this email to your friends in Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, etc.***
"Shocked." "This is unbelievable." “I had no idea."
Common reactions when people learn the May ballot empowers City of Ashland to sell Lithia Park to developers. It's one of several powers transferred from the people to City government, buried in the 'model charter'-based proposal to replace our current charter. Full text story link below…

It is said that ceremony and powwows were held at the foot of this peak (see attached photo) by the Native Americans who lived in this area near Ashland, Oregon.

Don't Hate The Media, Be The Media! Ashland Oregon's Independent Media Week 2007 will showcase
a coalition of independent media producers, local activists and
community groups organized around the theme that:
"A well-informed citizenry is a cornerstone of democracy"

Week is a grassroots campaign to inform and empower citizens by
showcasing local efforts and to expand and inspire hyper-local media
production.
Independent Media Week events include two public concerts,
a week-long film festival, an open mic / free speech event and campus
tabling.
In April 2005, the City of Ashland officially proclaimed
its first Independent Media Week. With a goal to broadcast "Democracy
Now" and launch KSKQ, a local low-power FM radio station. The
headline speaker at the event was Amy Goodman of "Democracy Now". Every
year since, the Rogue Independent Media Center has asked the City of
Ashland to proclaim the 3rd week in April, Independent Media Week and
are working to put this proclamation on the City Council agenda for
early April.
Once again, media activists and community volunteers are
Organizing the week's activities, and is inviting participation and
Attendance from all interested citizens and organizations. This year,
groups will be hosting independent media and video showcases every
evening, including unplugged acoustic entertainment from local
independent performers and student musicians.

SOU Campus, upstairs Churchill Hall across from Library - Mon-Thurs.,
7pm to 10pm. Coalition partners will host the evening events. All

PROCLAMATION
- A well-informed citizenry is a cornerstone of democracy.
- An informed citizenry depends on an objective, responsible
and unrestrained press, which provides greater access to accurate information, more points of view and greater diversity of thought and fact.
- The trend toward the consolidation of media ownership has
resulted in journalistic practices that hinder public awareness by
excluding or marginalizing minority and dissenting viewpoints.
- Fewer media voices can result in homogenized messaging and
the silencing of many points of view.
- Democratic principles support the case for more independent media in this
country, not less.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, John W. Morrison, Mayor of Ashland, do
Hereby proclaim the week of April 15 - 21 as INDEPENDENT MEDIA
WEEK and encourage all Ashland citizens to seek out and explore the
rich diversity of independent media available within, and to our
community.

THE END OF INTERNET RADIO STATIONS, If the RIAA has there way. Read more.
Dear KSKQ Members, Please sign the following petition to be delivered to congress regarding the recent royalty fee spike/exploitation of the RIAA: http://www.petitiononline.com/SIR2007r/petition.html
http://www.somafm.com is a major online radio station from the bay area that will be practically shut down by these new fees. We should refuse to pay royalty fees altogether. We are promoting the musicians work for free, as volunteers, and should not be penalized for it. Someone needs to stand up to these thugs and I believe we could lead the way.
