my sister is running. do you want to support progressive radio?
we are fortunate here in chicago to have held on to our former air america affilliate, wcpt.
they have a combination of syndicated talent like stephanie miller, thom hartmann, bill press, and local talent like ben joravsky. ben is a long time investigative journalist from the chicago reader, and a great repository of local political lore.
his show has been visiting each of the collar counties, talking to the dem candidates that are popping up all through the area. recently, they had my sister on the show, along w the rest of the blue wave at the bottom of the ticket in formerly solid red dupage county.
here is the podcast, sheila comes in at about 1:05.

one thing sheila says is that most of what she knows about politics she learned from ben.
and here she is on the ballot. proof of the importance of progressive radio.
and here is progressive radio, helping her and all the rest of those often overlooked down ticket races, giving them a platform.
we have had many a conversation around here about how to counter rw talk radio. air america took a shot at it, but it was sabotaged from the start.
i have to say i still grind an axe about the dem candidates in those early days who DID NOT ADVERTISE. i dont remember ever hearing a spot for john kerry at the time. what a great place that would have been to hit back at the swift boaters. what a great place it would have been to build the necessary public support if he had challenged the ohio vote count.
but no.
well, here we are, at the bottom of the ticket, wanting to give back.
here is what you can do to help local, progressive radio-
sheila wants to run a spot of wcpt. we need to raise $1,000.
sheila doesnt want to take my money, and does things like sending me checks to cover things that i wanted to pay for. but she will take it this way- i will match whatever du’ers give to this effort to build the blue wave.
so dig deep my friends. i promise this is my last ask.
c’mon. support progressive radio, and sheila.
