ELECTION DAY IS COMING! Register AND Vote!: VOTER & Political Info And Resources

“If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it!”

CALL 713-526-5738!! KPFT is in its Fall Fund Drive. Most of the folks who work and broadcast at KPFT are volunteers, but it still fixed and variable expenses, meaning it costs $150/hour, 24/7/365 to keep KPFT on the air.

KPFT does not accept corporate sponsors. Over 90% of KPFT ‘s funding comes from individual listeners, and only about 1 listener in 16 helps to support KPFT at any given time.

Whether you can only afford to pledge a couple of bucks or $1000, we appreciate whatever you can do. If you can’t pledge support at this time, we still appreciate that you listen to KPFT .

Only 7 companies own about 30 of Houston’s 50-odd radio stations. Those 7 companies determine most of what you hear on your radio.

KPFT airs 95 different programs every week. If KPFT has a format, that format is … almost anything you can think of!

Please support Thinkwing Radio! Please help support KPFT and keep community-supported radio on the air!

Thanks, Mike Honig

RUN-OFF ELECTIONS on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013 (HOUSTON & Other)

This Saturday, December 14th, there is a run-off election in Houston (and perhaps other places) If you live in Harris County (TX), you can find out if you have a run-off election in which you need to vote, as well as where to find your polling place and ID requirements.

In Harris County (TX), you can go to HarrisVotes.com. Other places have similar sites. If you don’t know if you have an election or where to get info, the best place to found out is your Secretary of State (SoS). If you don’t know the URL of your SoS, you can search with quotation marks as written: “secretary of state” [your State]

Vote and good luck!
