MOMocrats

It is a happier July 4th this year, thanks to SCOTUS ruling that Obamacare is consitutional. MOMocrats Cynematic, Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills are joined by Erin Kotecki Vest, whose debilitating fight to overcome lupus is the perfect example of how healthcare reform will enable middle class families to survive the diagnosis of a life-threatening disease or chronic condition.

Conservative politicians are obsessing about lady parts again. Too bad they won't allow their female peers to weigh in. Michigan's Senate censoring of Democratic state Senators Lisa Brown and Barb Byers resulted in the most unusual production of an award winning play ever: The Vagina Monologues, performed yesterday at the Michigan State Capitol. Jessica Pieklo, Jaelithe Judy and Donna Schwartz Mills talk about this and more political news of the week.

A special K-12 News Network show with students in the California public school system who explain why the current version of the Weighted Pupil Funding will help them get the equitable and high quality education they need and which is guaranteed them in California's state Constitution.

We discuss two versions of Governor Brown's Weighted Student Funding (WSF), and Assemblymember Julia Brownliey's AB18, a bill partially passed by the legislature. All address similar issues in equitably and simply funding pupils in California. Finally, we highlight actions everyone in CA can take to ensure that what funding we currently have is equitably spent on students, while at the same time moving forward to increase overall revenue that goes to the state's schools.

Guests include Jesus Almaraz, students leader with Californians for Justice, and recent graduate of Cabrillo High School in Long Beach; Rey Llaban, student leader with Californians for Justice, incoming senior fall 2012 at James Lick High School in San Jose; and Fermin Vasquez, Communications Coordinator, Californians for Justice.

Politics and news from the progressive perspective of the MOMocrats. With Cynematic, Jaelithe Judy and Donna Schwartz Mills.

Governor Scott Walker spent more than $30 million to stay in office in Wisconsin -- about 10 times what the Democrats spent to try to remove him.

It's natural to feel deflated. But we cannot let up. 

There were half a dozen primaries yesterday and we have a lot more this summer.

How do we hold on to the energy, hope and resolve we took from Wisconsin and carry through to November?

MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills discuss.
