FAQs: Military Manpower & The Draft
This week, Link TV introduces FAQs, a series of three national live call-in programs that explore the crisis in military manpower and the possibility of a post-election draft. We are asking viewers to join a forum for discussing frequently asked questions on critical military issues. Each program addresses an aspect of the problem: military readiness, stresses on military families and the politics of reinstating the draft. The programs will be simulcast on Pacifica Radio Network.
Send Us Your Questions!
Be a part of this interactive new series: send us your questions about the military, personnel and political aspects of the Draft. Send your questions to [email protected] and please include your daytime phone number - we may want to call you with followup questions.
WE'LL BE ADDING MORE ELECTION PROGRAMMING NEXT WEEK. CHECK WWW.LINKTV.ORG�REGULARLY.

Best Viewer Comments Of The Week
(Keep them coming. Next week it could be yours!)
"Hello, To say that I love your station and programs is an understatement.�
Link TV is one of the two stations I watch and in the last month or so yours is
the ONLY station I have been watching.� The programming and clarity of
topics is unparalleled - from news, to investigative reports, to interviews, to
movies, documentaries, rallies, music videos..... just ALL IF IT....�
Sometimes you take the words right out of my heart - before it even reaches my
mouth...Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.....programs.� I just became a
supporter, I actually called in on Friday night and contributed - sorry for
waiting so long.� I know I was way overdue and that IS THE LEAST WE ALL CAN
DO.... I am constantly talking about Link TV to everyone.� But you
know?????? I find that almost NONE of the people I speak with even know about
Link TV, since I don't know what stations it goes on in different areas, I
always tell them to log on to your website.� Keep up the Great work.�
We all need you more than many of us even realize....Thanks to your station and
the issues you raise, I am going to be voting for the 1st time...It is going to
be ESPECIALLY important this time around..."���� Sent:

"every time i think link tv has aired a program of
unprecedented global significance and import, you go a step further by airing
programs such as "hijacking catastrophe", proving as always, your fearless
commitment to spreading truth and unique perspective, a perspective which could
literally influence the future of world events. i am beyond touched and
inspired. Count on every possible financial contribution i can
manage."��� Sent: 10/10/2004
Hi my name is � and I'm a refugee living in the USA for 5 years, it was very
surprising for me to find out about LinkTV, that's the type of tv I've been
looking for since I came to the US, it was love at the first sight and I just
can't stop watching it, the News, the documentaries and mainly the music
hour,� honestly I've cried a couple times because I saw a few videos about
my country, it was very moving and I could not be happier to be able to see my
music, my culture and my language on TV.� I can't thank enough for your
existence and I deeply wish LinkTV to grow more and more every year, please your
TV is very important not only for the american people but all people from
different cultures who call the United States home.
Thank you
kindly"������� Sent: 10/18/2004
