Focus on the Family’s “Christian” values have been literally lethal to a member of untold numbers of families in this country…. and probably around the world.  This fact is the result of the lies propagated by the man behind Focus on the Family, James Dobson. This is a man whose character does NOT merit a place in the Radio Hall of Fame and Museum.   Mr. Dobson’s claim to be Christian runs counter to his outspoken behavior and vocalizations which spread damaging deceit and lies about a whole segment of our population.

One who prostitutes radio to lie about and degrade others must not be legitimized by an institution whose purpose is to celebrate the accomplishments and talents of those who have given something of value to this historical and popular mode of communication.

For the sake of its own future and honor, I hope the steering committee of the Radio Hall of Fame rethinks what appears to be a very ignoble decision here.  As Mr. Dobson’s Focus on the Family’s induction stands to defame and contaminate the very mission of your institution, which states: “The National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum recognizes and showcases contemporary talent from today’s diverse programming formats, as well as the pioneers who shaped the medium during its infancy”.
