Melinda Pillsbury-Foster has hosted radio shows for five years now. These have included The Spiritual Politician on BBS, The Melinda Show on The Micro Effect, and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised on Ron Paul Revolution Radio. Politically, she is a classical liberal who joined the Libertarian Party in 1974, serving on National Committee in 1987 - 88. In California she was Southern Vice Chairman for six terms, ran for office and managed campaigns.

In 1988 she reregistered Republican to understand what a major party looked like from the inside. When the Republican Party lunged into obvious fascism she began writing a series of articles shining a light on how this was accomplished on her blog, How the NeoCons Stole Freedom.

She does not think how you are registered which matters but the values that drive your own choices. She remains a classical liberal committed to individual rights and individual sovereignty. She is also a member of the ERA Campaign Network and is now starting a non-profit called Inconvenient Proof to provide training and access for whistle blowers.

In 2004 she authored, "GREED: The NeoConning of America" and also wrote, "Tour of Old Yosemite," a book about her grandfather Arthur C. Pillsbury. Pillsbury was an early proponent, perhaps the first, of the knowledge Commons today parsed as Open Source Strategies as well as an inventor and conservationist and photographer. Her family has been involved in social justice issues since women and Blacks were denied their rights at the ratification of the Constitution.

She is the mother of five and the grandmother of three.
