LAURA FLANDERS & DENNIS KUCINICH


We’re joined by the great progressive broadcaster LAURA FLANDERS whose long-standing radio/tv broadcasts appear throughout public television and numerous radio stations all over the country. 

Laura expounds on the great primary victory of grassroots socialist India Walton to become mayor of Buffalo.  India is now being opposed by the incumbent corporate/machine mayor who is running as a write-in for the general election.

We’re also joined by the legendary DENNIS KUCINICH, author of the riveting new book DIVISION OF LIGHT AND POWER, about his spectacular fifty-year career as a crusader for the people.  Dennis starts as a twenty-something city council member in Cleveland who fights his way into the Mayor’s office and saves the city’s municipal power and light company.  This epic battle leads the local banks to shut down the city in an attempt to unseat Kucinich and his populist politics.

As state Senator Dennis and I worked to successfully defeat a radioactive waste dump.  Kucinich then served eight terms in the US Congress before being gerrymandered out by the corporate Democrats.

He’s now running again for mayor and the corporations will be out in force to keep him from winning. 

Find out how at the amazing show.

WILL MANCHIN BLINK?…THE ESCALATING WAR OVER AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

 

In our Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #55, we again dash through the ever-shifting playing field of the immediate present and daunting future of American democracy.  

 

As West Virginia Senator JOE MANCHIN indicates he will support major voting reforms, we examine exactly what he might be willing to do.  Some is pretty good, including making Election Day a national holiday, a general guarantee of 15 days’ early voting, alterations to ID requirements, automatic voter registration, computer-based counter-measures against Gerrymandering, and more.

 

This compartmentalization of the FOR THE PEOPLE VOTING RIGHTS ACT could have huge impacts on our future elections if Manchin and AZ Senator KYRSTEN SINEMA will bend on the filibuster that has jammed the US Senate into a deathly Mitch McConnell coffin.

 

We hear from CHARLES MORELAND on DC on the upcoming DREAM MARCH FOR DC STATEHOOD, GREEN JOBS & JUSTICE.  

 

GLORIA TINUBU and RAY MCCLENDON fill us in on the horrendous attack on voting rights in Georgia.

 

RAY LUTZ brings us more new from insane Arizona, from which election documents have somehow found their way to Montana.

 

JULIE WIENER fills us in on the disastrous failure of the New York Legislature to ban hybrid electronic voting machines that can allow our elections to be stolen.

 

We also discuss state-based crises in attempts to overcome gerrymandering in Virginia, Ohio, Colorado and Oregon, with the outcomes very much in doubt.

 

As this war over American democracy continues to rage, our activism becomes ever more critical.  Don’t miss out on the deadly details.

NUKE-INSANITY;  SHUTTING THOSE OLD REACTORS BEFORE THEY EXPLODE

America's 93 ancient, embrittled, cracked, on-the-brink-of-disaster nuclear power plants are the number one threat to the survival of this nation.  Worldwide, there are some 430 threatening our species with extinction. 

We do not cool the planet with radioactive fires burning at 570 degrees Fahrenheit, spewing out carbon, radiation and toxic trash. 

We’re joined in Solartopia by three great Safe Energy activists to sort out the madness.

TIM JUDSON of the Nuclear Information & Resource Service, PAUL GUNTER of Beyond Nuclear & JOEL SEGAL of JAMN talk with us about how to move on to a post-warming green-powered Earth.

We clearly have the resources  & technology to go 100% renewable green-powered Earth. 

What we apparently don’t have—yet—is the wisdom, grace and common sense to do so.

This conversation gets the bottom of why….and how to change course toward a survivable society.  Join us!!!

“DREAM” MARCH FOR DC STATEHOOD, GREEN JOBS & JUSTICE; ARIZONA “RECOUNT” FIASCO

Our Grassroots Election Protection Coalition Zoom Call #51 starts with “51 for 51”.

That means 51 Senate votes for the 51st state. 

In hosting preliminary discussions on staging a major march on Washington for August 28-9, we commemorate the 58th anniversary Dr. Martin Luther King’s iconic I HAVE A DREAM speech.

We’re joined by CHARLES MORELAND and many more of the key organizers of this hugely important event.

We’re also joined again by JOHN BRAKEY and RAY LUTZ who have been on the ground monitoring the catastrophic “recount” in Arizona. 

Both have been featured on major media throughout the US, with important views as expressed by ART LEVINE and others.

With as many as 90 participants, this is yet another GREEN POWER & WELLNESS edition you must not miss.

A BIG MARCH COMING UP FOR DC STATEHOOD & A DEEP DIVE INTO INSANE ARIZONA

We start our Grassroots Emergency Election Protection (GREEP) zoom #50 with CHARLIE CRAY and a dynamite new report from GREENPEACE on the corporate role in election protection.

We’re then honored with the first announcement of a mass rally planned for DC on August 28-9, the 58th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s I HAVE A DREAM speech. 

Attorney CHARLES MORELAND and shadow Senator MICHAEL BROWN tell us the gathering will be for DC STATEHOOD, VOTER RIGHTS, END POVERTY & HOMELESSNESS, & A GREEN-POWERED EARTH.

Attorney THEODORA BROWN and DR. DON JONES fill us in on crucial details.

Among much more, we will demand that all federal buildings in DC be solar-powered, starting with the White House, whose roof once housed Jimmy Carter’s solar water heater. 

We again hear from JOHN BRAKEY and RAY LUTZ on the bizarre antics of the infamous ARIZONA RECOUNT in all its media-saturated Trumpian glory.

 If you are at all interested in election protection, you don’t want to miss this report.

DC STATEHOOD, GERRYMANDERING,  & THE ARIZONA “RECOUNT”

 

We dive deep into the hard realities of DC statehood with attorney CHARLES MORELAND and DC Senator MIKE BROWN.  Why joining Maryland won’t work.  Why mass civil disobedience may be on its way.

 

We then travel through the horrors of gerrymandered North Carolina with former two-term MAYOR JENNIFER ROBERTS, current STATE REP. JOHN AUBREY and former Deputy Secretary of State ROBERT WILSON.  Gerrymandering has utterly destroyed any semblance of democracy in NC and around the US, and here we get the basics on how and why.

 

Finally, we find ourselves in Phoenix with JOHN BRAKEY and RAY LUTZ dealing with the bitterly contested recount of the presidential ballots from the 2020 vote in Arizona.  Election protection experts around the US are discounting this as an exercise in Trump madness and futility.  But Brakey & Lutz have found in it a niche for setting the ground rules on real recounts.  Our contentious but enlightening discussion with ART LEVINE and others sets the tone for a national dialogue on this “show trial” for democracy.
