Now, many are boycotting his business because he advertises with the station.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Penders has also gotten a few calls from people who said they are boycotting JP Mortgage Services Inc. because he advertises with a company that allowed one of their on-air personalities to use a racial slur during the show.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the announcement the "Todd and Don Show" would be dropped from KLBJ, four of his customers dropped him and rescinded transactions to refinance their homes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We will close our doors, we will," said Penders. "We can't lose $20,000 or $30,000 a month."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The calls and e-mails have been non-stop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They are furious,” said Penders. “These people perceive that KLBJ has knuckled under a request from a group."&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">AustinCitizen</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:36:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Austin Local News</title><link>http://www.590klbj.com/News/Story.aspx?ID=1116849#comment-13227657</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Where has the fire gone?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Im not sure there ever was one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How outraged can we be about a radio show when some of the following has been ignored for 30 years?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where was the fire when phone menus stated "Press 1 for English"?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when local businesses double labeled everything in Spanish, passing the cost on to you?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire as your tax dollars pay for Spanish documents in public schools, government and state offices?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire as your tax dollars pay for Spanish interpreters in schools, court houses and hospitals?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when hundreds of thousands of ILLEGALS were ALLOWED to march on our streets DEMANDING their rights?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when it was reported in Feb 09 that hispanics make up the majority of Texas first graders?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when National Geographic reported the number 1 baby name in Texas in 2007 was Jose?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when you hear countless news stories of illegals running red lights, killing citizens and running off?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when you first realized that our government was choosing not to enforce immigration laws?&lt;br&gt;Where was the fire when you are turned down for a job because you dont know Spanish?&lt;br&gt;Where is the fire when a caucasian is called a racist for questioning any of the above?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that we are a minority can we have National organizations that watch out for our rights?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a lauging stock we are!
