[HNA] help save Felix Molina's radio show!

[Tom Loudon]

Last week, on my last day in Honduras Felix Molina and Bertha Oliva 
asked for a meeting to talk about the future of Felix's evening program 
on Radio Globo.  Although it is the most listened to show on Radio 
Globo, ultimately, Felix has to come up with $3,000.00 each month to 
stay on the air. 
 
Many of you are aware of the important role which Felix's show plays in 
Honduras, given the war that has been waged against any media which 
speaks out against the coup.  Felix's early evening - 5 day a week 
program is a consistent voice providing analysis and reporting against 
the coup, and is pretty much alone in terms of a program with national 
reach.   The local radios are obviously important, but his is the only 
regular national anti-coup program.
 
The situation which Felix and Bertha presented to me is that they have 
funding secured to pay for the broadcast for the next year, beginning in 
May 2010, but in order for the program to continue, they  need to come 
up with enough *funds to pay for February, March and April- nearly 
$10,000.00.*
 
I said I would do what I can to spread the word.  We at the Quixote 
Center are willing to collect any funds people are able to send to help 
keep Felix's program on the air.  We will send them everything we are 
able to raise.  I know many of you understand the importance of this 
program, and hopefully will be willing to contribute to this effort.  If 
you send checks, please send them to:
 Quixote Center
PO Box 5206,
Hyattsville, MD 20782. 
Put 'Radio Globo 'in the note line
 
Could you all please send this note out to your lists?  I think that 
together we can help to keep Felix's program on the air.
 
Thanks,
 Tom Loudon
