Podcast #6 - Oct. 4, 2006
The Foley Scandal & Hacked Elections
Update - In reviewing the research links, I discovered that the addendum referenced to the Age of Consent posted was out of date. The correct age of consent is still 16 in Washington, D.C., but the addendum mentioned was repealed. However, this does not change the argument regarding Age of Consent being a non-issue as the age of consent in the home state of the former pages is still a critical factor. Florida is still 18 and Louisiana is still 17. I have changed the link and apologize for this error.
On this podcast, I was not sure - but couldn't help it - had to talk about the Scandal involving Mark Foley and the GOP reactions. Also, Robert Kennedy has written another incredible article about the Election Process and the use of Electronic Voting Machines. It's a must read. As always, there is a Global Warming Update, a Presidential Horoscope, a Word from our Newest Sponsor and the What a Weinie Award.

Get Out and VOTE!
The Elections are less than a month away. It is time to find that reason to vote and take back the House and Senate. On this podcast, I will discuss the importance of voting, the World Can't Wait Protest I (briefly) attended, the Foley Trap and North Korea.
Plus, there is the Global Warming Update, the President's Horoscope and Two new Sponsors. It's a lot, but I hope it gets you to take real action and be a part of the process. Thanks for Listening.

Iraq
Without any doubt, Iraq is the key issue of our times. It will define our strategy and discussion for years, perhaps decades due to how it was mishandled and the incredible amount of government waste. I will try to cover the history of the Iraq War in a five minute song.
However, our strategy, as progressives, should be to take the debate from the point of the start of the war and how this government must be accountable for its failures. Even the conservatives amongst you have to agree when you listen to the clips from “Iraq For Sale.” Go and purchase “Iraq for Sale.” Watch it. Share it. This should be our focus. Our security was bought and sold by companies like Halliburton. Although, it was not metioned in the Podcast, according to Senator Levin, 30 percent of the money we send ends up in Al Qaeda hands. This MUST STOP NOW!
Plus, a Global Warming Update, the President’s Horoscope, the What a Weinie Award and I discovered the newest ad against Prop. 87.
Thanks for listening.

Podcast #10 - Nov. 3, 2006
The End of the SBA and Your Vote
On this podcast, there is growing evidence that despite this administration’s statements that it supports small businesses, the SBA is losing funding and has been the target of the Republican party for elimination as a government agency. Where does this government really stand in helping individuals and small businesses when it grants legally required funds meant for small businesses to Fortune 500 companies?
The election is coming up and it is time for you to learn more about your candidates and initiatives and be part of our direct and indirect democracy. Go Volunteer. Encourageyour friends to Vote and document any examples you may encounter dealing with voter fraud or suppression. It is time to take our country back and establish our constitutionally required system of checks and balances.
Plus a Global Warming Update, the President’s Horoscope, a New Sponsor and the What a Weinie Award.
Thanks for listening.
