He also hosted the nationally syndicated, conservative "Jesse Lee Peterson Show" radio talk show on the Information Radio Network until December 30, 2005. It then restarted on April 26, 2007. It is produced by Lanelle Johnson, and the bumper music includes I Won't Back Down, Hotel California, Save Room, What's Going On and Flying Without Wings. His organization operates several programs, including: the BOND Home for Boys, After School Character-Building Program, Entrepreneur Program, Inmate Rehabilitation Program, and counseling services. Peterson established the annual "National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson� event. He is a member of the advisory board of Project 21, an African American conservative organization, and former board member of the California Christian Coalition. On January 17, 2006, Peterson was a party to the case Jesse Lee Peterson, et al., v. Jesse Jackson, et al. (BC 266505), in Los Angeles County Superior Court, after a ruling the previous week by Judge George H. Wu. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against Jackson, his son Jonathan, and others on behalf of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who was the alleged victim of a physical and verbal assault at an event hosted by Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in December 2001. On January 27, 2006, a Los Angeles jury rejected Peterson's claim that Jesse Jackson had threatened him at a business meeting four years ago. The jury also found Jonathan Jackson did not hit Peterson, but split evenly (six to six) on whether he threatened an assault. On September 21, 2005 Peterson penned a column for WorldNetDaily, in which he suggested that some of the African-American people stranded in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina were "welfare-pampered," "lazy" and "immoral." Peterson also criticized New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for blaming President George W. Bush for his lack of response to the crisis, stating that "responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the Mayor of New Orleans." On February 28, 2006, as a member of a student panel discussion at the University of California, Irvine on the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Peterson stated that extremist Muslims hate America. The event was sponsored by the United American Committee and College Republicans, and gained national attention for the controversy and confrontation associated with it. Peterson is also a member of Choose Black America, an organization of African Americans who oppose illegal immigration. Peterson has recently made headlines after his call for support of controversial reality television host, Duane "Dog" Chapman. Matt Lewis is a Contributing Writer for Townhall.com, the
