Last week, gunfire broke out at a Detroit barbershop injuring six people and killing three. Sixty-one-year-old Joezell Williams, his 29-year-old nephew Bryan Williams, and his 40-year-old stepson Kevin Perryman were all murdered. Radio One Market Manager Kathy Stinehour tells Radio Ink her three stations are collecting donations for the burial of the three victims with a live broadcast from a local McDonalds from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The PTC says time is running out and they are asking members for donations before midnight December 31st. "The challenges we will be facing in the coming year are already laid out before us: NBC recently announced they would be bringing radio shock jock Howard Stern aboard as a judge on America?s Got Talent ? one of the only family-friendly programs remaining on NBC. The PTC vehemently opposed this decision, and in 2012, we will be working to make sure every sponsor knows what kind of obscene, misogynistic hate-speech Howard Stern will be bringing to the table as a judge."
In its letter to members, the PTC goes on to say to be able to fight the Stern hire, they need help and getting a deduction on your 2011 taxes is a perfect reason to donate. "Please consider making a donation to support PTC programs in 2012. Any gifts received before midnight on December 31st are fully deductible from your 2011 taxes." We are doing what no one else can or will do? and we?ve managed to accomplish all of this with minimal staff and financial resources. Think of how much more we could accomplish with your help in 2012. A gift in any amount, $5, $50, $500 ? whatever you can afford -- will go a long way toward ensuring the PTC can continue to build on this year?s successes well into the New Year.

The PTC is a joke and a bad one at that. Just some guy with some letterhead and a few close-minded friends. They use the fear they manufacture about Stern to shake down businesses and take advantage of other close-minded individuals.
They should be called the Pathetic Thugs for Censorship.
