DFA - The Nicole Sandler Show

6-12-15 Nicole Sandler Show – Stop Fast Track Friday

Today's the day that the House of Representatives will vote on Trade Promotion Authority, better known as Fast Track. It all comes down to this! We'll keep an eye on the vote and break in to see what our elected representatives do as it happens, and chat with Democracy for America chair Jim Dean about the letter they sent to members of Congress this morning, urging a NO vote. Our resident Republican, John LeBoutilliler, weighs in on some of the GOP presidential hopefuls. And for Flashback Friday, it's my rare interview with New Radicals' Gregg Alexander from May of 1999.

Change

Today's pre-show music was all about change, and I usually close the show with a clip of Clapton's "Change the World." In 2008, Barack Obama ran on a theme of Hope & Change. We can still hope, but are left waiting for the change. Instead of waiting, we can make change... In the first hour of today's show, we explore a couple of ways. One is to get involved. Democracy for America grew out of Dean for America and has become a great progressive force for change. Arshad Hasan, DFA's executive director, is in Miami where he led a training [...]
