Thread: Reconquista radio host has been fired.

Dear friends, activists in the immigration movement:



Last Monday Elisa Alfonso, host of the renowned Spanish language radio program Chicago Al DÃ*a (Chicago Today), was fired. The only reason for her dismissal was "tough economic times".



Chicago al DÃ*a was on the air for about two decades, the last one conducted by Elisa Alfonso. Both the program and Elisa have received numerous awards and wide recognition from community and business groups. It also helped the radio station La Tremenda 1200 AM to get the one of the highest awards in journalism in Chicago, the Studs Turkel Award, in 2007.



Chicago al DÃ*a was the only radio program who broadcasted live the historical immigration demonstrations in 2006 and 2007, from the Federal Plaza and Grand Park.



Every week, Elisa opened up the microphones to denounce raids and deportations, as well as to give legal advice on workers rights, against discrimination and many other issues.



To fill up the vacuum created by Elisa Alfonso's dismissal, La Tremenda is using a program created in Los Angeles or Miami, dedicated to "learn how to choose the right size of brassieres", and how to live in harmony at home by using Feng Shui.



As community and immigration activists, we are all loosing this space. Chicago al DÃ*a should remain on the air and its microphones should continue on the service of the community who buys advertising time in La Tremenda.



Please call César Canales, Operations Manager of Univisión Radio, at 312-981-1920, or write him an e-mail at ccanales@univision.net, demanding the immediate reinstatement of Elisa Alfonso and Chicago al DÃ*a.

Ouch! LOL

Sometimes I listen to late night talk radio, mostly nuts of course, but sometimes a fact comes along .

If I lose station I turn to AM Radio. What a shocker ! It is almost all spanish now .

After the Otterman Empire lost it's radical clutches on some parts of the world some came to America in the early 1900s . They said they wuld be a stte within a state until they could take over . This seems to be coming to pass. We now have more mosques being built than churches, more religious' freedoms 'for radical religions than our own and at least when we become homeless we can at least always wash our feet in the many footbaths going up in our tax funded places .

Maybe they will bet more listeners.

It's KARMA

Well, Elisa, maybe people got fed up with your ranting that it's okay to break the laws in this country.

Hmmm....hopefully the story will come out later as to why she was let go. The true story I mean...

YA ......THERE HAS TO BE MORE TO THIS STORY THAN THEY ARE TELLING US ABOUT

"Tough economic times," or whatever, getting RID of yet ANOTHER ON-the-air racist is a GOOD thing!
