Amy Goodman will personally autograph four different books, including Breaking the Sound Barrier, Standing up to the Madness, Static, and Exception To The Rulers. The books will be autographed and dedicated as the winning bidder requests (within reason). Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman began her career in community radio in 1985 at Pacifica Radio?s New York Station, WBAI. She produced WBAI?s Evening News for 10 years. Pacifica Radio?s Democracy Now! began on February 19, 1996 as the only daily election show in public broadcasting. Due to popular demand, Democracy Now! continued to become Pacifica?s flagship news and public affairs program. It is the only public media program in the country that airs simultaneously on radio, satellite and cable television, and the internet. Democracy Now! became an independent non-profit organization in June, 2002. The program is currently broadcast on over 800 radio and television stations.
