Editorial letter to the Producers of All Things Considered, National Public Radio, March 12, 1996

Los Angeles: Pablum-Fed, 1996. Original two-page laser-printed letter, signed in ink. Addressed to "All Things Considered," dated March 12, 1996. Old folds, else fine; includes original mailing envelope hand-addressed in blue ink.

A lengthy (two-page) screed to addressed to National Public Radio, Washington, D.C., from one Casey Peters, who signs as "Spokesperson" for PABLUM-FED - an acronym for "People Against Being Led Under Media-Forced Exitpoll Democracy." The letter complains that East Coast news outlets, by providing early election returns from polling places east of the Mississippi, impact turnout and voting patterns for West-Coast voters. "Our group, PABLUM-FED, is dedicated to the proposition that voters have a greater right to cast an untainted ballot than television viewers and radio listeners have to know the projected results of presidential elections before the last polling place closes." The letters was sent to several other American news outlets, including Ballott Access News, Common Cause, Union for Democratic Communications, etc. The envelope appears to have been returned to sender as undeliverable. An engaging piece of grass-roots democracy in action, relating to one of the most consequential American presidential elections of the Twentieth Century.
