The Andrew Miller Show

Why is filing taxes a bit more ridiculous than necessary? We go into that, the real culprits behind it, and question how much is it really worth it.

Check out this episode featuring two special guests!

Just shooting the $hit about some stuff I see on my LinkedIn and Facebook feeds regarding the world of work.

Seasons Greeting to all listeners!  This episode I share some news I received from Anchor, my take on the delusions some folks have on holiday greetings, and why 2023 is a great year for independent candidates and voters.  Enjoy! 

Barry Bendar is the Green Party candidate running for Lacey Township Committee, NJ.  Barry Bendar has worked in Information Technology for over forty years and lived in the area for thirty-four years.  Bendar has run for the committee five times in the past, most recently in 2015 and ran for county office in 2021 and 2017.  Over development, traffic, and flood insurance issues are among the big deal local issues he plans to take head on.

David Raudabaugh is the Libertarian Party candidate for Georgia Agriculture Commissioner.  He is founder of multiple cannabis-focused Technology Start-Ups & Sales Organizations and currently serves as the head of the Cannabis Hemp Education Research Company (CHERCO.org).  In addition to working to legalize cannabis for all kinds of uses, Dave also wants to ensure Georgia’s Farmers and Ranchers have access to world markets, promote growth in all forms of agriculture in the state, and eliminate government impediments to growth in all forms of agriculture.  You can learn more about David and his campaign at jointdecisionforgeorgia.com.  

If you're tired of state legislatures being ignored by parties, candidates, and media while only having business as usual options who are out of touch with the constituents, there is good news for those in Connecticut's 1st Senate District. The district encompasses parts of Hartford and Wethersfield.  Michael Oretade is the Green Party candidate running for that seat.  His activism has paved way for positive change in proper response to mental health matters and relations between police and community.  Based on personal and professional experience, he has seen room for improvement in education and health care as he will fight for a more level playing field and better systems for all in Connecticut.  He also has forward moving policy ideas regarding the environment, housing, food deserts, and racial justice. You can learn more about Mike and his campaign at mikeforct.org.

If you live in Cook County or the Chicago metro area and haven't heard of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, you don't know what you're missing.  Whether a flooded basement or something you see floating in a river that shouldn't be there, the MWRD is the go-to agency.  Toneal Jackson is the candidate who wants all constituents to know about it and how they can benefit from it.  Running as a Green for a two year term, Toneal is an award-winning author, publisher, podcaster, and organizer. She is also Founder of Artists Promoting Success and I’m Glad to be a Woman also having been inducted into 40 Under 40 Young Women Professionals League, the Professional Organization of Women in Excellence Recognized also known as P.O.W.E.R., and a recipient of the I Change Nations Award. Toneal Jackson has a B.A. in Communications from DePaul University and earned her M.B.A. from University of Phoenix.

You may recognize Howie Hawkins from the 2020 Presidential Election when he ran for POTUS as the Green Party candidate.  He is now running for Governor of New York for a fourth time.  He ran in 2010, 2014, and 2018, each time receiving enough votes to qualify the Green Party for a ballot line for the next four years.  This time NY made it tougher for third parties to make it on the ballot, but his fight continues.  He also ran for local office in Syracuse and pulled in as much as 48% of the vote one year.  Howie was the first candidate to run on a Green New Deal as well.  In 1991 he arrived in Syracuse to develop cooperatives for CommonWorks, a federation of cooperatives that promoted cooperative ownership, democratic control, and ecological sustainability in the local economy.  He is currently a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, American Legion Dunbar Post 1642 in Syracuse, and Teamsters for a Democratic Union.  You can learn more at www.hawkinsmattera.org.

Delilah Barrios grew up in what is well known around Texas as, ‘The Valley’. Born and raised in Brownsville, her family moved all over the coast to include Port Isabel, South Padre Island, and Houston.  She has seen and experienced the disastrous effects of oil spills and fracking, causing her to be involved in the environmental movement.  She also represents those who are fed up with losing personal rights.  Learn more about the campaign at delilahfortexas.com.
