Interesting reply from KQED. For what its worth, I sent on some e-mail to All Things Considered on NPR that was in the FML a couple of days back along with some background and web sites for their research. For those of you haven't heard them, All Things Considered does very in-depth issue analysis and is probably one of the most popular radio news show in the US. If anyone can take this and run, they can. I gave it to them from the point not as a Ferret owner (heck I don't even live in CA), but from the political side and from the issue that they are standing alone against the other continental states. That may make it more appealing to them. [Posted in FML issue 1829]
