Attention WTKK-FM and Concerned American Citizens:
Word has just reached Americans for Legal Immigration PAC about the suspension of talk radio host Jay Severin because of complaint calls regarding his views towards illegal immigration and the recent Mexican Swine Flu pandemic.
Article in question
Severin suspended for comments about Mexican immigrants
http://www.alipac.us/article4184.html
Free speech, especially political speech, is the most legally protected and revered right in America.
Therefore, we are asking WTKK-FM to restore Mr. Severin to the airwaves immediately unless you can provide the American public with a documented example of where he violated FCC rules or advocated violence.
Illegal immigration and the Mexican flu pandemic are both highly contentious issues that are clearly related to each other during this time of crisis.
Free speech and the role of the media, especially talk radio shows, are both essential to the American public, the US Constitution, and the entire political process in America. As a free society we cannot allow WTKK-FM to silence or stifle free political speech in America by removing a talk show host from the air due to complaints.
The courts have ruled again and again that the "hecklers veto" or "mob rule" has no place in America.
We are contacting you to ask that your station stand up to those that would silence Mr. Jay Severin because they disagree with his political views on illegal immigration or his personal presentation style.
If you do not reverse your decision to suspend him immediately, your actions will set a precedent that will have a stifling effect on all talk radio show hosts and shows and our entire nation.
Illegal aliens and their supporters in America are now notorious for their sometimes violent attempts to silence free speech.
If mounting a campaign for complaint calls is all it takes to remove a host from the air then free speech in America is dead.
Certainly WTKK-FM should be aware that the same political techniques are being applied to our nation's top talk radio show hosts by the same political groups attacking Jay Severin.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage are all under siege by the pro illegal alien Open Borders Lobby. They also want to silence Lou Dobbs of CNN and Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin of FOX News along with hundreds, if not thousands, of online and talk radio commentators the illegal alien supporters disagree with.
They want to silence me and they did silence Congressman Tom Tancredo at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last month!
Don't let WTKK-FM become a historical marker on the day that free speech in America went down in flames.
We are Americans and we consider an attack on the free speech of one of us as an attack on all of us. We will not stand by idol as you try to send the chilling message that speech must be politically correct or a person's job will be taken from them.
We call on your station to return this host to the air immediately. Concerned citizens are encouraged to contact...

Freedom of Speech under attack.
I called and left a message. Paraphrase, I want you to do more than hear my message I want you to re-instate Mr. Severin. Freedom of Speech is under attack. Since when did Americans lose their jobs for telling the truth? Maybe since the Obama administration has been in place, etc.
I have to admit I rambled a bit
Try this number, I got right through to comment line.

Illegal Immigration and Disease Epidemiology
I am not a Medical Doctor, however, I have a strong background in Public Health here in San Francisco having studied at SFSU and worked in nursing during the peak of the HIV epidemic in the late '80's in SF.
BTW, dating to Ellis Island and the mass numbers of immigrants the US absorbed then there was, in fact, a formal process to identify, as best medicine could in those days, potential disease threats represented by legal immigrants who were sick and were identified as carrying identifiable disease which could put the Public at risk.
These individuals were either returned to their country of origin (remember our treatment modalities for certain diseases then were rather limited in contrast to today) if they were considered beyond our medical help in those days or, if it they were considered an infected person who could recover and heal they were placed in quarantine until they were no longer considered a disease vector.
The unforgivable stance of the pro-illegal activists (including the DHS Secretary) especially relative to the uncounted (potentially infected) masses of humanity illegally crossing our borders today is that our modern Public Health system doesn't need to take account of an undetermined amount of people, many having never received childhood vaccinations for basic diseases who are carrying communicable diseases (whether they are from Mexico, Bolivia, China, Canada, or Africa, et. al. matters little on this issue) into the US.
One of the most important regulatory foundations of our LEGAL immigration system is that our Public Health system can systematically identify disease carriers, assist them, but MOST IMPORTANTLY protect our own legal citizens from unnecessary exposure to communicable diseases regardless of how they become legal citizens. But our current DHS Hack gives no thought to the fact that our Public Health system is being undermined as she refuses to temporarily (even) slow down or halt border crossings until we get a handle on this disease. Rather she is more concerned for her Liberal Race Politics and those voters as well as the profit making of her political donors while the disease spreads insidiously Northward by unidentified, medically un-inspected, unlawful illegal immigrants whom she probably hopes will soon become (illegal) Democratic voters, asap.
In recent years we have seen the re-emergence of diseases
such as childhood and adult measles as well as other diseases for which our Public Health system prophylactically inoculates our own legal citizens as children. Many of these disease outbreaks have been centered in areas in which one finds illegal immigrants. So, as important as OBEYING our immigration laws surely is, enforcing immigration laws ALSO protects our legal citizens against diseases carried by an unvaccinated illegal populace who have never been exposed to a decent Public health system and represent a potentially deadly pandemic threat to the rest of our citizenry. But Napolitano is a hack political appointment and when the facts come out this will be Obama's Katrina.
There is no excuse for this risk of disease going unaddressed
and unabated except for the Politically Correct crew now in office: from the President down to the incompetent DHS
Political Hack. The liberal media also fears exposure of the details of this single health issue because if it becomes well-known in the USA by the Country's citizens (especially those who are parents) who understand this threat of disease and that this Government and media elites played fast and loose with the truth for political reasons Our LEGAL CITIZENS will exact political payment. I predict that Napolitano, by the time this pandemic is over, will be to Obama as "Brownie" was to Bush during Katrina.
The Citizenry already understands that illegal immigration is not just about "poor people trying to better themselves" and when they find that their representatives cared more about illegal immigrants from other country's where a Public Health system is, in many cases non-existent, and who thus represented disease epidemics themselves then our citizens will will repeat 1994 and the response to Katrina and hold this government and "in the tank" media accountable and will replace the Congress wholesale.
I am not a biased person, however, I am very solidly a supporter of a Public Health system which covers and protects all citizens. There is a reason why one must get certain inoculations when traveling from one country to another and it is reasonable that the receiving country
CHECKS your Pass Port when you cross borders - each country has the RIGHT to protect it's citizens from disease vectors (people carrying diseases). Heck, in Japan they scan people thermally to check for fever. Yet, our DHS Political Hack won't even let the Border Guards protect themselves (or at least relieve their own anxiety by wearing masks viz. Swine Flu).
Since we have NO control over our Southern border we have NO reliable Public Health system. Our DHS Political Hack is more worried about disabled Vietnam Veterans like myself than she is about allowing unhealthy illegals to swarm the southern border carrying a disease which has already killed too many in Mexico. As long as this current DHS Political Hack is in office we are in grave Public Health trouble and I've heard some speculate that the worse this Swine Flu epidemic gets the more it will allow her boss to expand his power (against opposing political view holders)? Didn't his hatchet boy Ron Emmanuel say "one should NEVER let a 'good emergency' pass without taking advantage of it" (paraphrasing). We'll see.
