Rick Smith Show - Weekend 05-18-2019 by Progressive Voices

The Republican party games the political system with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and election manipulation. JOSHUA DOUGLAS writes in VOTE FOR US about the many initiatives through which Americans are taking back their democracy, one community at a time - expanding voter eligibility, easing voter registration rules, making voting more convenient, giving redistricting back to the voters, improving civics education, and more. Warnings, good news, and action steps for 2020.

On the #RADIO show this week we cover the attack on women’s bodily autonomy and what you can do to protect your rights; what’s happening in Washington DC that’s hopeful and not-so-hopeful, including around impeachment; the good news about the BE HEARD Act; and how we can win against all odds.

*Special guests include: Erica Sackin, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, @PPFA; Reggie Hubbard, MoveOn, @MoveOn; Vania Leveille, ACLU, @ACLU; Erin Bennett Leighton, MomsRIsing, @MomsRising

While making sourdough prior to the show, a recipe he shares, Karel realizes that no party is talking about this, so he does. And the answers may not please most of us. It's why we're are not talking about it. Plus thoughts on terrestrial radio as the Bay Area fires two more talented people and random hour fun.

During today’s ‘Inside Scoop,’ Mark gives his take on Alabama's new abortion law. The law makes abortions a felony at any stage of a woman's pregnancy. It criminalizes the procedure for physicians, who could face up to 99 years in prison if convicted. There is also no exception for rape or incest.

You can find more free radio shows and TV appearances of Mark's at his website, www.MarkLevineTalk.com.
