Episode #191 Citizen Radio discusses the midterm results, including the loss of Russ Feingold and Alan Grayson, two of the most stalwart liberal voices in Congress. Ron Johnson’s victory over Feingold comes courtesy of Citizens United, which allows endless corporate money (donated by frequently anonymous donors) to manipulate the outcome of political elections.
Also, Allison and Jamie discuss the “good news” about Harry Reid defeating crazy, crazy Sharron Angle.
Prop 19 failed in California, and President Obama gloated about the proposition failing. It turns out, a whole lot of scared, old people turned out to vote against legalizing marijuana, which again shows the importance of young people voting.
Citizen Radio answers your Listener Mail about the midterms. Your questions/comments include feeling disillusioned by the results, not losing hope, and why it’s so important you keep fighting for change. Also, a listener in Texas sends out a SOS for some help with his dead car.
