Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin and speak with the Mayor of Wisconsin, Paul Soglin about the Democrat’s ground game in the last days before the recall election of Governor Scott Walker who has received most of the $63.5 million that has poured into Wisconsin ahead of this bellwether vote next Tuesday. We discuss this test case between the power of money versus organization at the grassroots, in an election that could be a harbinger for who will win the Congress and the presidency in November.
Part 2	Then we get an analysis of the latest Republican effort at radical social engineering, and that is the privatization of education now underway in Louisiana. Joining us is the former Assistant Secretary of Education in the George W. Bush Administration Diane Ravitch, the author of “The Death and Life of the Great American School System”. We discuss how Christian schools will now get vouchers to teach the Book of Genesis instead of evolution and how private sector vendors can now set up apprenticeship schools to exploit free labor in the name of education.
Part 3	Then finally the patriarch of the anti-globalism movement, Jerry Mander joins us. He has a new book “The Capitalism Papers: Fatal Flaws of an Obsolete System”. We look into his seven point-by-point arguments that explain how Capitalism’s nature-destroying imperative for growth is both dooming the planet and not providing the happiness its products promise.
