[Voterescue] VoteRescue Radio Fri. 6/13, 6-8pm CDT: Dr. Lora Chamberlain

[Vickie Karp]

Hello from VoteRescue Radio, Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time!
This Friday, June 13th, from 6-8pm CDT, VoteRescue Radio is happy to
welcome Dr. Lora Chamberlain of the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project.
Dr. Lora Chamberlain is a a board-certified Family Practice Physician who
has worked for progressive political change in this country for 30 years;
for environmental sustainability, for reproductive rights, for peace and
justice issues and since 2003 for voting rights and election integrity.
She has helped run a couple of local campaigns for Dennis Kucinich for
President and has had her own progressive radio show, "The American
Activist", on KSKQ.org, a community radio station in Ashland, Oregon.  To
quote Dr. Lora, "I know it is ridiculous to use 'Clean Elections' and
'Illinois politics' in the same sentence, but that is exactly what we at
the IL Ballot Integrity Project are trying to change here."  We'll hear
from her about the IL BIP campaign to get a three ballot referendum on
the ballot in November that would get paper ballots for everyone in the
state; clean elections or publicly funded campaigns for state wide
offices and the state legislative candidates; and  campaign finance
reform. Illinois is the wild west of political campaigns.  There are no
limits at all on what you can donate to candidates there and it has led
to major corruption on all levels of government. During our first hour,
we will cover other election news around the country and may hear from
VoteRescuers Laura Killins and others who are delegates at the Texas
Republican Convention in Houston this week, where a big brawl may be
brewing between Ron Paul supporters and those delegates backing John
McCain.  Already the Rules Committee this week has attempted to prohibit
any still or videocameras at the event! The Texas Legislature's House
Committee on Elections is holding their Interim Hearing on electronic
voting on June 25th, and VoteRescue has been invited to bring in
speakers--which we are!  We'll cover that too!  

VoteRescue Radio can be heard on the radio in the Austin area at 90.1 FM;
is streaming live on www.wtprn.com (for "We the People Radio Network"),
AND, can be heard OVER THE PHONE at 512/485-9010!  All shows are archived
at the above web site, usually within a couple of hours after 8pm CDT.

The call-in number for the show is:   512-646-1984.   Hope to "see" and
hear you "On the Air" Friday! WE ARE WINNING--because of citizens
like YOU!! With thanks for your support, Vickie and Karenkarp at mail.comkaren@voterescue.org
