March 18 - A Victim of Military Sexual Assault on General Sinclair's Plea Deal; A Case of Political Corruption that Exposes the Disastrous Consequence of Citizens United; "The Democrat's Obama Problem"

Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin with the latest example of the U.S. Military’s inability to deal with the epidemic of sexual assaults in the ranks following the plea deal to drop charges for sexually assaulting a female subordinate officer, which allowed an Army general to plea to lesser charges of maltreating an Army Captain in an “unwarranted” manner. Jennifer Norris, a former U.S. Air Force Tech Sergeant who was forced into early retirement because of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from military sexual trauma, joins us to assess the chances of bills by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Congresswoman Jackie Speier moving forward to fix the broken system of military justice.
Part 2	Then we examine a nightmare scenario that exposes our post-Citizens United campaign finance system’s invitation to political corruption and abuse of non-profit “social welfare” groups to hide the identity of those buying corrupt politicians. An investigative reporter who has covered the story from this beginning, Robert Gehrke, a politics and government reporter with the Salt Lake Tribune, joins us to discuss his and the Utah House’s investigation into the former Attorney General of Utah who transformed his office into a defender of payday loan companies who secretly funded his election campaign.
Part 3	Then finally we speak with Robert Kuttner, the co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect and author of “Debtor’s Prison: The Politics of Austerity Versus Possibility”. He joins us to discuss his article at The Huffington Post “The Democrat’s Obama Problem” and what the president can do to inspire Democratic voters to come out in November to prevent a Republican takeover of the Senate which will render Obama an early lame duck, effectively paralyzing the last years of his presidency.
