The End of Govern America Radio

By Darren Weeks

After three and a half years of hosting patriot network radio, I have notified Nicklas Arthur that I am ending the radio broadcast. Though it has been an incredible burden to carry, I will miss it on many levels.

I have met and interviewed many interesting people in the past three and a half years. It has been exciting at times, and incredibly frustrating at other times.

My children are getting older and I'd like to be more of a fixture in their lives. I also want to focus more on my writing and research. I'm certainly not giving up the fight. I just need more flexibility. Unlike radio, my writing can be done when time allows.

To all who have listened and responded with comments, thank you. Also, I would like to thank Jackie Patru and Chris Gerner, who got me into this patriot broadcasting field in the first place. Thanks to Nicklas Arthur for his unwavering support these last few years. Thanks to Dennis Hodges for his countless hours of continuing work, gathering the news headlines and research for the websites. Thanks to Sam and Trish Brittain in Missouri for carrying the show from beginning to end on their FM station, and for their encouragement when the hours were looking very dark. To Nancy Levant and Niki Raapana who have also become very good friends and have helped us out at different times with the work, thank you. To all of the other guests and guest hosts who have graced us with their presence, you are remembered and appreciated.

To all of the other micro FM stations that have carried the shows at one time or the other thanks to you. Your dedication in educating your communities is both admirable and heroic. My hat is off to each of you for your work.

Most of all, I want to thank my lovely wife and children for their patience at my long hours that I've spent holed up in research, and production for the show. Only those who have ever had a show can appreciate the time and effort that goes into the planning and preparation for air. For every hour you spend on the air, there are several that you spend preparing to be there and it is always on your mind.

I had originally intended to have a clean break and just end it (I hate sad goodbyes), but at the request of Nicklas, I am doing one last show. Monday, November 19th will be my last show.

Blessings to all, keep the faith, and long live the republic.
