Former congressional representative candidate Susan Shelley joined us for this episode of “In the Know.” On behalf of the Republican party, Shelley ran for this year’s election that would determine who would stand for California’s 30th congressional district, but only made it to the primary race in June 2012. During the show, Shelley talked about being a Republican candidate in a Democratic state, being the only woman to run during the elections, and planning for possible future endeavors in politics.
For this episode of “In the Know,” Hank Thomas, a first-time author, joined us over the phone to talk about his recently released book, “A Broken Sausage Grinder.” The book explores the history of the United States federal government and its inherent flaws. Thomas talked about why he likens the government to a broken sausage maker, why he decided to publish the book, and his future plans.
This week I interviewed assistant professor of sociology and San Fernando valley activist James McKeever. We spoke about his background and childhood and how that affected his school life and his life before teaching and how he worked in the correctional system. We from there talked about how he became politically active and what ideology he adheres to and the different activities he’s done in the community, as well as the activist groups he is now a part of ( Students Organizing for Success and Resistance Against Gutting Education). He talked about the organization and general mission behind these groups. From there we discussed the current political air with the many struggles against oppression and imperialism world wide and the potential results of the upcoming vote on Proposition 30.
