Shadow Politics with US Senator Michael D Brown

By: BBS Radio BBS Network Inc.
  • Summary

  • Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog. We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.

    Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Vote for Free - With guest, DNC Vice Chair Candidate, Kalyn Free I've known Kalyn Free for more than 15 years. I've worked on political campaigns with her and helped her train candidates to run for public office, many of whom were successful. She's an amazing organizer, fundraiser and political activist. It's obvious that the Democratic Party must change and Kalyn and I will discuss what those changes need to be and how we can effectuate them. Join me and my new co-host Liberty Jones as we discuss the future of the Democratic Party along with Kalyn Free, Vice Chair Candidate. A citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Kalyn Free’s career spans decades of leadership, advocacy and winning results. Kalyn has had a trailblazing career — she was the youngest attorney ever hired by the U.S. Department of Justice and the first Native American supervising attorney in its history. A red-state champion, Free was the first Native American woman elected District Attorney in Southeastern Oklahoma and delivered justice for the most vulnerable in one of the reddest parts of the country. She is proven strategist. With more than 30 years of campaign experience, Kalyn has helped Democrats win in tribal, rural and urban communities alike. With a unique perspective — from rural Oklahoma to Washington, DC — Kalyn Free has the vision and experience to lead the Democratic National Committee forward.
