As Hurricane Isaac bypassed Tampa to pound on Louisiana, the RepubliKKKan Party got an ugly reminder of George W Bush's disasterous response to Hurricane Katrina 7 years ago. Since the GOP can't win elections by fair means after things like Katrina, the Iraq War, and gutting social programs, they have favored voter suppression tactics for years.

Here is the playlist from our August 28 broadcast:

Interview 1:

Journalists covering the Republican National Convention were held at gunpoint during pre-emptive “security” raids, swept up in mass arrests with protesters, detained for several hours to several days, had their equipment confiscated, and were roughed up by police. Now journalists and citizens of St. Paul are demanding all charges be dropped.

National Lawyers Guild: Police Raid "Preventive Detention"

Raid- 3240 17th Ave. South
Ken Avidor Reporting

We start by looking forward to the conventions, including a discussion of the platform they provide for activism. Then onto recent local activism: a protest about inadequate wage increases at the U of Illinois, and a rally on energy policy. We spend an extended period discussing energy policy and public transit. We close by talking about the reputed agreement between the Iraqi and US governments on a timetable for withdrawal.
