I read the article in The Baltimore Sun: "Ehrlich to keep his radio show until he files for governor's race" (Apr 4). Although I live in Texas, I have been privileged to have been a caller on former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s radio show several times. Having family in Maryland, I sometimes chime-in with questions pertinent to Maryland state government, but I have also asked Mr. Ehrlich about issues which affect all Americans at the wider national level. I think his program is a unique forum, and although I understand FCC fairness rules, I feel that Mr. Ehrlich's show could continue and draw even more listeners if all the gubernatorial candidates were subjected to listeners' questions. Good forums are hard to come-by.
