Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
That's what an old rock-and-roll memorabilia-selling Friend of Unfair Park alleges over at his blog:
I gathered signatures yesterday at one of the early voting poll locations. You should know that the opposition has hired "blockers" -- many of whom were brought in from outside the Dallas area and/or state -- to dissuade people from signing our petitions. These are professionals who have been stationed at every polling location. They are getting paid $200/day (I found this out from "my" blocker).
Um, memo to Bible Girl: I'll be needing to take some time off this week, as I've found a better-paying gig than this one. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
