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.

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
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.

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.

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