Free & Equal Network Podcast with Christina Tobin

Christina Tobinwww.podomatic.com
As a 501c3 non-profit, non-partisan organization, the Free and Equal Election Foundation’s mission is primarily educational. We work to give all ballot-qualified candidates the opportunity to debate important political issues in public forums. We want to help level the political playing field and to inspire more independents and alternative party candidates to run for office. We want to empower and encourage more people, especially young people, to get involved in the discussion, participate in the political process and hold their government accountable. We believe that “more voices, more choices” will help shift the political power back to the people, away from the control of a few corporations and political elites, creating a more balanced system where all are free and equal in their ability to participate. The Free & Equal Network is the honest media initiative of Free and Equal Elections. We invite everyone from all political persuasions and all backgrounds, from artists to leaders to conscious business owners. Listen in as we discuss what other activists are doing, what we're doing and how we can create a better life for us all by working together to bring more voices and choices to the electoral process. Go to http://freeandequal.org to find out how you can help make sure elections are free and equal for all.
