Of course that didn't keep the Inner Party from completely ignoring it, it's results, their mission as a public non profit radio station to serve the pubic or going out of their way to drive BlueOregon members away from becomeing members by acting bat ass crazy:

The responses in order:
Rabia Yeaman responds:
“Hi petitioners, thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns and opinions. I am sharing the most recent news we/I have of the union which is this "Lynn Fitch, KBOO Station Navigator and Madelyn Elder, President of the Communication Workers of America Local 7901, would voluntarily recognize the union and are ready to enter into negotiations." Tomorrow (Sunday 5/19) the manager will be available to answer your questions on the air (6:30-8pm) (Monday evening too). I cannot speak for my peers on the board, nor do I represent the board, only myself when I say, I am very excited the staff will be fulfilling their long-time desire to unionize and I am impressed with the manager's diligence in gathering information from a variety of sources to make the best decision on behalf of both the staff and the KBOO foundation. Her decision to request to go straight to negotiations demonstrates to me, a willingness to support the staff's request to unionize, while ensuring the safety of the non-profit corporation that is KBOO. I hope you will be able to tune in and get your questions answered to your satisfaction. Thank you for your passion and concern for our KBOO Community Radio. Rabia Yeaman”
Michael Papadapoulos responds:
“Bullard doesn't represent the membership and should never have been hired in the first place.”
Lisa Loving responds:
“Choosing a law firm with a strong anti-union track record is a bad match for KBOO and sends an adversarial message to its staff union.”
Jeff Kipilman responds:
“pro bono, pro labor law is the way to go. no more money on attornys”
Hadrian Micciche responds:
“Any political activist with any savvy know that on-line petitions are a big waste of people's time and effort. See: "Your Online Petition Is Useless." http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2010/08/your-online-petition-is-useless/19146/ How can the people receiving the petition know that people signing are real people, much less members? They can't. In other words, this petition isn't even worth the paper its not printed on. (You too can have a fake identity: http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/)”
"They can't. In other words, this petition isn't even worth the paper its not printed on. (You too can have a fake identity"
Oh Reely, Comrade?
It appears, as if to prove the point, several, um, "responses" have been published that may or may not be real. It's unclear because they aren't linked to the "official" board member replies:
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/5991
Lisa Loving responds:“As a KBOO member/contributor, I'm disgusted that my contributions have been used to undermine the workers' right to organize. These developments suggest that "the navigator" (a term that in itself implies and endorses centralized power) lacks a basic grasp of KBOO's mission and history. ”
Or they make no sense:
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/5993
Lisa Loving responds:“Please add my name to your petition--Shannon Mallory”
Or are repetitive and spammy:
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/6003
Lisa Loving responds:“The use of this law firm is a betrayal of kboo principals.”
And keep coming back with "and another thing":
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/6081
Michael Papadapoulos responds:“I support the staff's right to unionize. I am a former employee of KBOO and find it interesting to note that Ani Haines was the strong-arm person AGAINST our attempt to unionize roughly 5 years ago. Now Ani Haines wants to unionize the KBOO employees when it is HER that is being threatened.”
[so fakey mcfake. Glorious Leader defended Pappy...it's doubtful he has a real conflict with Ani or he'd have been blitzed by now.]
Or simply can't organize all their thoughts at once. Maybe they have ADD..,
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/6104
Michael Papadapoulos responds:
“Sometimes any non-profit needs legal services, and it needs to select a firm or an individual that (or who) is competent and efficient AND with values that are amenable to the values of the non-profit and its membership. Oregon has many such firms and individuals whose competence and values fall within KBOO's needs; let's work with them. ”
And of course FITCH IS EVIL:
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/6226
Michael Papadapoulos responds:“Lynn Fitch and almost everyone on the board need to be removed from KBOO.”
Plus CAPS:
https://www.change.org/petitions/to-the-kboo-board-dump-bullard-law/responses/6241
Michael Papadapoulos responds:“PROBABLY EVERY NON-PROFIT AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER NEEDS AN ATTORNEY. EACH ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO CHOOSE ONE THAT IS COMPETENT, HAS REASONABLE FEES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HAS A PHILOSOPHY THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE NON-PROFIT EMPLOYING IT. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE KBOO MANAGER HAS CHOSEN ONE THAT MOST DECIDEDLY IS AT ODDS WITH THE KBOO PHILOSOPHY, WHICH IS GROUNDED IN FAIRNESS, EQUITABILITY, AND IN TUNE WITH THE FINEST VALUES THAT LABORING PEOPLE REQUIRE. KBOO'S PROGRAMS PROVIDE COVERAGE OF ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO WORKING PEOPLE AND TO THE KBOO COMMUNITY AND THEIR INTERESTS AND ASPIRATIONS. IF THIS IS NOT DONE, KBOO NEEDS TO FIND NEW LEADERS IN KEEPING WITH ITS PHILOSOPHY, A LEADERSHIP THAT WILL SUPPORT ITS COMMUNITY AND WILL HIRE HELPERS SUCH AS ATTORNEYS WHO ARE ON BOARD WITH THEIR PHILOSOPHIES AND POLICIES.=== ROBERTA HALL, CORVALLIS, OREGON, KBOO MEMBER ”
And then Hadrian, or someone using his name, gets into the act:

Hadrian Micciche responds:
“Keep that motor runnin' Jocko I won't be long on inside If you shut the motor off My luck, th' battery'd die Whoa, I love robbin' banks Yes, I love robbin' banks You tell the teller thanks Aw honey, for me Well, we left Argentina We had Alaska in our eyes Head out for them clear, cold nights And white capped mountains an' lions, now Lord, I love bein' a chauffeur 'Cause, I love bein' a chauffeur I'm a backseat gopher Ridin' in the car with you Keep them dogs quiet good, boy I won't be long in the barn If you get scared and run You bastard, I'll break your arms, now Lord, I love poachin' chickens 'Cause, I love poachin' chickens We'll fry 'em finger-lickin' Some kind o' good Keep that bottle comin' good boy Lord I'm getting so dry inside If you break it or drop it My luck we gonna die dry Lord, I love drinkin' whiskey 'Cause, I love drinkin' whiskey Makin' me feel risky Every time I do a jug, now Keep them eyes peeled good, boy For that highway patrol If they catch and lock us up now They're gonna keep us 'til we grey and old and ugly and nasty Lord, I love bein' illegal Yes, I love bein' illegal Makin' my bone wiggle Everytime I see the law Yes, I love robbin' banks Whoa, I love bein' a chauffeur Yes, I love poachin' chickens Lord, I love drinkin' whiskey Yes, I love bein' illegal Lord, I love robbin' banks You tell the teller thanks Aw honey, for me”

Hadrian Micciche responds:“River of shit River of shit Flow on, flow on, river of shit Right from my toes On up to my nose Flow on, flow on, river of shit I've been swimming In this river of shit More than 20 years And I'm getting tired of it Don't like swimming Hope it'll run dry Got to go on swimming Cause I don't want to die Spoken: Oh I can feel another 1000 years Of the flapjacks of Sorrow! Unless! Unless we make 2000 A.D.! 2000 A.D. Our glorious deadline A glorious deadline to make the World a better place! Or else the flapjacks of sorrow Are going to slide down our throats Slide down our throats For another millennium Of pain and war and oppression And all our children's children's children's Children's children children Shall have to wade and to swim In the same grim river In which we now swim Sing along with us Sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing!”
Ooooooookaaaaaaaay.
Well, that looks like a perfectly credible, non trolled petition!
We'll note those who did NOT respond:
Matthew Bristow
Paula Small
Lyn Moelich
and, most surprisingly of all, Theresa and Ani's pal, SW Conser.
To commemorate Stevie Conser's Big Blow Off, we're announcing the winning macro of the Condescending Conch Competition!
On July 19th, blogged here, we asked readers to send in their own Condescending Conch. On the day of the July 29th board meeting submissions flooded in:
Share your favorite in comments below! The most popular one will replace the "EVIL FITCH" widget. We think real cadre already know that by now. *wink*After serious deliberation with incense and a few animal sacrifices(we think we're getting the hang of this, comrades!), we scanned through the paltry votes in comments and decided to throw them out an choose our favorite. Because that's the way we at the Inner Party do things! Screw democracy when it doesn't get you the result you want!
Readers can now see looking to the

Wow. Not just removed from the board, but removed from KBOO. That's some serious purge pushing. Will they get a refund on their membership?
