Obama got involved in one of his friends in Boston was arrested why won't
he get involved in this? The black community needs a station? What about the
Chinese, Cambodian, Hispanic, etc Communities?
If Touch gets a license anyone that can afford an attorney and take their
case to federal court will have license also.

Umm, why would President Obama do that? He is first and foremost the
president, and getting involved in the problems of one station in one
community would not be a wise move for him. As for the FCC, they have
not been very proactive about public service or serving one's community,
or else the five giant conglomerates that dominate much of radio would
not be simulcasting the same programs in city after city and doing NO
(or minimal) local programming to the communities that make them so much
money. Frankly, while I agree that the black community needs a station
that is live and local, I have a difficult time feeling sorry for Mr
Clemons, who used his station to promote his own bid for mayor, and who
never even paid the fine he was assessed way back when the FCC first
contacted him about his pirate station. Radio Free Allston got taken
off the air much faster than Touch 106-- and RFA also distinguished
itself for doing wonderful public service for its community; yet it was
ordered off the air, and that was the end of it. Mr. Clemons is not
being persecuted. He has a number of supporters in important places, but
he also could get a group together and buy a small station-- which I
have not seen him even try to do.
