Tom Interviews Mr. Hamayoun Maali from Iran who is running a sticker campaign for the Lawrence School Committee. Maali has employed a very DIFFERENT style of campaigning whereby he has called all the white people in his neighborhood a bunch of white racists and has encouraged them to move the hell out of Lawrence when the "Spanish American" Willie Lantigua wins the mayors race in November. Maali also insulted and tunted the Dave Abdoo supporters. candidate Dave Abdoo called in and confronted Maali as well as discussed his vision for the city. it was a HYSTERICAL show as Maali tries to explain why he is insulting the very people he is seeking votes from, cals Wilfredo Laboy a "racist" and comes out with some really bizarre accusations. IT"S DON"T MISS RADIO FOR SURE!
