Greg Palast:

Greg Palast is a world-famous investigative journalist for the British Broadcasting Corporation and the London Guardian. He authored the book, “The Best Democracy That Money Can Buy”

Mike Davis:
“During a long decade of constant turmoil and bold experimentation, Art Kunkin and his contributors truly set Los Angeles’s night on fire. The Freep was the lodestar for my generation: An unwavering voice for cultural and political liberation.”

Mike Davis is the historian who wrote the famous book, “City Of Quartz, Excavating The Future In Los Angeles” and “The Ecology of Fear.”

Irv Sarnoff:
“During the 60's and 70's the Freep played an incredible role in supporting and reporting on the many activities of the Peace Action Council and the Alliance For Survival, organizations that I helped found as well as chaired during that period.

With the help of the Freep we were able to mobilize tens of thousands to end the U.S. war in Vietnam and to stop the proliferation of nuclear power in California. If the past role of the Freep is an indication, I look forward to your continuation."

Irv Sarnoff is a political activist who presently plays a leading role in Friends Of The United Nations.

Tom Wilkes:
“The Free Press was the vanguard of the hippie movement in the 60's. Art Kunkin was the print voice, motivating factor and champion of civil rights, anti-war and the "Peace and Love" generation.... I created scores of music business ads that were published in the Freep... You can't separate the street politics of the 60's from Art Kunkin.”
