TFA Media response to lawsuit

Our biggest disadvantage in the civil rights fight is the way the news media presents our views. The TFA and it’s Executive Director, John Harris, are going on a media blitz to get the facts out. A few minutes ago, I received notice that there will be a radio roundtable in a couple of hours.

We (Bob Pope and TFA) are doing a call-in talk radio show July 2 with purchased – no commercial airtime. The show guests will be – Sen. Doug Jackson, Sen. Jim Tracy, Rep. Ben West, Jr., Nikki Goeser, John Harris and, perhaps, former metro councilman Adam Dread who was invited but has not committed to show up.
Sen. Jackson introduced and carried the restaurant bill in the Senate and Rep. West introduced one version of the bill in the House. Adam Dread is a former Metro Councilman and a local attorney who is opposed to the restaurant law and asserts that the local governments not the Legislature should be making these types of decisions. He is also one of the attorneys representing the restaurant owner on the lawsuit.
Please tell ALL your friends to listen in to the show Thursday July 2, 11am-1pm, WAMB radio 1200am and 99.3 fm. The show is 2 hours with NO COMMERCIAL BREAKS. The show call in number is (615) 889-1960. For those who are not in the Nashville area, we are trying to get a live feed set up on TFALive – accessible through the TFA web site’s main page in the upper menu – so that the show can also be heard live with chat but that will depend on whether the station is able to finalize arrangements for a sufficient internet feed by airtime.
This is a special broadcast. It will also be available July 10 bobpopegunshows.com in the click on guest archives.
We are planning another live callin show with another of the plaintiffs’ attorneys and John Harris on Tuesday, July 7, on Newschannel 5+ Openline. That will air between 7pm and 8pm CST and should be available live from the Newschannel5+ web site.
