TALK RADIO HEADS TO BAGHDAD
RADIO TALK SHOW HOSTS ON TOUR OF DUTY IN IRAQ
 ...  ... MAF Co-Chair Melanie Morgan, MAF Co-Chair Howard Kaloogian, MAF Board Member Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.) Buzz Paterson SACRAMENTO, CA—Radio talk show hosts will be broadcasting their shows live from Baghdad, Iraq. In an effort to shed light on the “whole Iraq story,” seven radio talk show hosts from across the United States are traveling to Baghdad from July 7 to 17, 2005. Move America Forward, a non-partisan not-for-profit organization, is coordinating the trip for the talk show hosts with the U.S. Armed Forces Central Command. Melanie Morgan and Howard Kaloogian, Co-Chairs of the organization, and Board Member Buzz Patterson will be leading the delegation of talk show hosts to Kuwait and then on to Iraq. Morgan, who also has her own radio show on KSFO radio in San Francisco, will also be broadcasting live from Baghdad. “Move America Forward’s charter is to support our troops,” Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (Ret.) and host of The Buzz Cut of the Rightalk Radio Network said. “It’s time our guys had their say, and we’re going over to Iraq to give our troops a chance to tell the world about all the hard work their doing, and the successes they’re having.” Move America Forward is currently supporting a “Cookies and Coffee for the Troops” program. Gourmet coffee and cookies stamped with the military branch insignias are sent to men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan with a supporting message from an American sponsor. The talk show hosts will be bringing a large shipment of cookies to distribute directly to the troops in the field.
