We love to hear from you. Email your Letters to the Editor to fpress@ccnet.com Keep 'em coming!


Thanks for the site

Thanks, folks, for providing the new via your Web site during the strike. I hope for everyone's sake that the strike will be over soon and that you all will be back at work.

I faxed in my cancellation request last night and mailed in a copy today. Please let us in the public know if there's any other ways we can show our support for the union workers. Ron Sires


Little red tune

Here's a song I transcribed from my "Little Red Songbook" for all of you. See you on the picketline.

DUMP THE BOSSES OFF YOUR BACK
from the Little Red Songbook of the IWW
(Tune: Take it to the Lord in Prayer)
by John Brill, 1916

Are you cold for-lorn and hun-gry?
Are there lots of things you lack?
Is your life made up of mis-'ry?
Then dump the bos-ses off your back!
Are your clothes all torn and tattered?
Are you living in a shack?
Would you have your troubles scattered?
Then dump the bos-ses off your back!

Are you almost split asunder?
Loaded like a long-eared jack?
Boob--why don't you buck like thunder,
And dump the bosses off your back?
All the agonies you suffer
You can end with one good whack--
Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer--
And dump the bosses off your back.

In solidarity,

J. Hill


Aggressive ignorance

Why are you aggressively ignoring third-party candidates? I know it's too much to expect you to endorse any, even though there are several that are far better choices from your perspective than the ones you did choose to endorse, but what I don't understand is why you're passing up this excellent opportunity to give alternative and minority views the fair hearing that they have been so long denied by the "establishment" papers.

Awesome Gray

I commend you guys for your efforts in light of the strike. The sports page is awesome! Keep this page even when the strike is over (when it's over).

Anywhere Press

After mulling it over for a couple of days, I cancelled my Chronicle subscription today until you folks settle with the strikers. Without Jon Carroll, Herb Caen & crew, there's no point in reading it anyway. I can get AP stories anywhere. Hope you folks can come up with some sort of mutually beneficial solution.

We'll try to add one to the "paper" version as well

Please add a "Feedback" button to make it easier for your readers to send you comments/suggestions/questions.

Because none of us here is named Hearst?

When will you add the other medias ? Right now SF Free Press is mono-media instead of multi-media.

Staying online

Congrats on this site and best of luck in the labor dispute. Hopefully people like me will continue to read the news you're providing and will shun the paper produced by scabs. I hope all is resolved satisfactorily, but until then, I'll continue to get my San Fran news from the Free Press.

Singapore wants to know

Thank you for producing such a wonderful online paper ! Whatever the result of your dispute with the publisher, I sincerely hope that you can continue the publication of your online paper. As an ex-Bay Area resident, it is good to be able to find out what's happening over there even though I am a couple of thousand miles away in Singapore.
