Episode description

The right to vote in America is under attack. The Republicans, and the dark moneyed powers who fund them, have made a calculated decision to rig the elections in their favor to regain and retain power. Between redistricting, partisan gerrymandering, voter suppression laws and criminal intimidation Republicans have decided to abandon the fundamental right to a free and fair election and if the Democrats don’t do something about it while they can, we could easily lose the country forever to this coup enabling, autocratic leaning, increasingly criminal group of self dealers, and our country deserves better.  Please rate and subscribe so we can grow the show, open the dialogue and inspire better change moving forward!
