Our Mission,
Following is a statement for our mission which was approved at our meeting on December 8, 2001, but is certainly open for further modification in the future: Our basic mission is to preserve free speech, non commercial public radio in our community and in our nation, that is free speech to let peple know the uncensored truth about issues, rather than radio to simply attract more listeners or generate more income. We also will try to be a conduit of information for the many organizations on Long Island and the metropolitan area who also support free speech..

Here is a poem entitled "A few Brief Candles" written by Charlotte Koons after the vigil on February 15, 2004 in Northport:
In Barcelona, Spain,
tens of thousands
filled the streets once again,
to commemorate a
World Against War
when tens of millions had marched
just the year before.
Here in the U.S.A. it was
a bone-cold, Ides of February day
and in a small Long Island town
two times ten stood with candles at their feet,
sheets of names clutched in frost-bitten hands.
633 names of soldiers who
had died in the invasion of Iraq.
633 men & women
who came back draped in flags
who came back in body bags,
As the sun set, a new rainbow peace banner flew
in the chilling harbor wind
And each of us stepped up,
Stoically, we read them,
By lantern light, we read them
and beat a muffled drum,
chanting:
"O Mitauke oyasin";
Lakota for:
"We Are All One".
And when it was done...
Some witnessed
as to why they had come
And all sang
"We Shall Overcome...
Some Day"
No, I will never say
it was all to no avail,
So, I thank you all, dear readers,
And, with you, trust that,
peace will prevail... some day
