I’ll have to really take some time to put together a fitting eulogy for the company who helped bring a progressive message to a country inundated with right wing propaganda.
But for now, I’m focused on getting through tonight’s show. Yes, you heard right. I will do a live show tonight in my former 11pm-1am ET timeslot on Air America. On the left hand side of the page you’ll see a screen that will go live when the show begins at 11pm.
Today brought such bad news from the Supreme Court, and I spent all day putting together a show to help get the word out about what the ruling in Citizens United vs. the FEC means.
I’ll be joined by John Bonifaz, legal director of Voter Action, and the director of the new campaign for a constitutional amendment to clarify that corporations are not people and the constitution doesn’t give them rights under the first amendment, at www.freespeechforpeople.org.
I’ll also speak with Congressman Alan Grayson (who’s launched a website to help turn things around at www.savedemocracy.net) and Congresswoman Donna Edwards (who is introducing legislation for a constitutional amendment) about what happened today. And we’ll lighten things up a bit with my regular Thursday night guest John Fugelsang.
I hope you’ll join me too.!
