Illinois

I am trying to contact anyone I think might be sympathetic to this. The station needs lots of phone calls.

I am 70, so I remember the protests. I took part in many of them. I still get out and do everything I can, whether it is protesting or canvassing, registering voters, etc. It is a team effort here. I could not do as much if my husband was not right beside me.

Being a telephone commando is very important. If WREX gets enough phone calls, they might just do something or say something.

I did make a difference on one of their stories in the past. They were featuring a story about Curves, an exercise franchise that was owned by right wing anti-choice people. I pointed out to them who the owners were. I suggested that they run stories about other exercise facilities in the area that offered other programs to a variety of people. I suggested one place nearby that is an independent gym, owned by a married couple who are Air Force veterans. They did show some stories about other exercise facilities.
