Act Out! [56]: Audio Podcast - Activism Spring, a Tiny Way to Help the Homeless, and Artists Capture Crooks
Mon, 4/4/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield

And finally, there are a lot of corrupt 'n greedy crooks who should be doing time – and these inmates want to introduce them to you. But first, Democracy Springs.

Over the next two years, Democrats have the unfettered ability to be an albatross around the neck of the GOP — and to make sure that what little they manage to get done due to their paper-thin majorities becomes the reason for their undoing.
