Waking Up Orwell: FBI misbehavin' & shadowy ways of the Flexians


This week on Waking Up Orwell....


**** KPDO PREMIERE DELAYED***
The station, in an ambitious 4 day effort to install a new programming board and equipment, is still in its testing stages and was automated through the broadcast scheduled for 9/29/2010.

This gives us an additional week to upgrade graphics, develop the website and come up with ways to promote the show.

"A bad weekend for civil liberties"

This weeks bid for sanity is to add your public comments about the Dept. Homeland Security's request to for exemption from legal conditions set by the ECPA or Electronic Privacy Act of 1974 to monitor e-mail, phone calls, and anything else that creates a record from an electronic pulse.

*Big Thanks to Lady Axxiom for throwing this out there.
