Pappas Telecasting Cos. donating air time to Repubs.

[JDPriestly]

California has its own Sinclair Broadcasting Company.
Read this:

Pappas Telecasting Cos., which owns several television
stations in California including a Spanish language
station in Los Angeles, has donated $325,000 worth of
free air time to 13 Republican county committees in
California.

Karen Getman, lawyer for "Assemblywoman Nicole Parra,
who is seeking re-election in a close race against
Republican Dean Gardner, sent a letter Saturday to
Pappas demanding equal time.

Getman 'also complained that campaign finance records
do not clearly indicate how the time is being used.'"

. . . .

" Michael Angelos, company spokesman, said the
donations are being given to county committees and not
directly to any candidate."

We need to take action. It shouldn't take much to identify advertisers and send e-mails.
