Laura Flanders Comes to Crawford...
Piggybacks With BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO's Hamster/Wheel Broacasting Technology!

In the spirit exemplified by the Peace House in Crawford, Texas, Saturday Night radio "competitors" Laura Flanders of Air America Radio and Brad Friedman of The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO are announcing an historic partnership as they broadcast their programs together this Saturday Night from on the ground in Crawford!

The BRAD SHOW has been the only LIVE broadcasting "organization" on the ground at Camp Casey to air continuous live daily coverage of the events, voices and news surrounding Gold Star Mother Cindy Sheehan's "standoff" with George W. Bush.

The BRAD SHOW has now broadcast over 26 hours of live radio across four different radio networks since last Monday, including exclusive uninterrupted coverage of Joan Baez' performances from Camp Casey and Cindy Sheehan's late-night comments to supporters.

Friedman's interview with Sheehan on Thursday was her first one-on-one interview since returning to Crawford, Texas after travelling to Los Angeles to care for her mother who suffered a stroke last week.

This weekend's broadcast schedule is the most ambitious to date, with the handsome Mr. Friedman, scheduled to broadcast atleast eight hours on both Saturday and Sunday, including the planned simulcast with Air America's comely Ms. Flanders.

Friedman's daily broadcasts begin at HIGH NOON in Crawford, TX each day (1p ET, 12p CT, 11a MT, 10a PT). The Flanders/Friedman portion of Saturday's programming will begin at 6pm Central time and will be broadcast over the IBC Radio Network, White Rose Society, KPFTX.org, OmRadio.com and Air America Radio via The BRAD SHOW's miraculous tin-can and string technology powered by one exhausted hamster running around in a wheel constantly since Friedman arrived in Texas last Monday.

The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO is a co-production of Friedman's The BRAD BLOG and Internet news site RAW STORY in cooperation with IBC Radio Network.

Friedman, who interrupted his vacation to travel to Crawford and tell the truth since Rush Limbaugh is a liar, is exhausted, hot, but happy to be speaking truth to power...as long as his voice holds out.

What a guy, Brad. What an American. Being a witness to history and speaking truth to power. On the tip-top of the tipping point.

Thanks, my friend, and heartfelt appreciations.

Brad,

I trust it's okay with the 6 or 7 if I say "We are thrilled, 'Fried Man' ". Break a leg.

So much for that vacation y'all were taking in that super-secret location!

VG

p.s. You are so fascinating! [;-) for WP]

Farm out. Still waiting to see some fabulous sweat stains. Kira says it's photo shop.
Do the hamsters sweat? OK I'll go home now.

I'm starting an activist mailing list for those people who want to get legislation passed now and who want to do more than wait until elections and more than want to complain about Republicans. send email to

webmaster@boycott-republicans.com with the subject

ACTIVISM

I encourage you to get as many friends, fellow workers, and people you will get to know to join my mailing list.

Brad,
I look forward to one hella sexy show... between you and laura, liberal radio is getting hot! ;) two great voices and great minds, make for sexy radio, even if you never talk that way.

I love seeing this spirit of collaboration between you and AAR. I hope that on Sunday when Randi comes around you can rope her in for an interview for your show, in fact it would be cool if you could have Randi and Cindy together for an interview round table, and anyone else that is available.

Hot damn! Keep pouring it on, Brad and all. But I'll probably miss out on the AAR collaboration - the seven hour time difference and all that. Is White Rose still doing the infinite loop thing between shows? I really hope so. You guys have a global audience, after all. Love and Peace!

Brad & team--keep up the great work with the live radio presence.

In the breaks, check out the Online Think Tank (re: election reform; thinking "outside the box") from today 27 Aug. through 5 Sept. over here.

There is a wide range of Special Guests throughout the week (e.g., the VoterGate documentary-makers, Lynn Landes, David Cobb, election official Ion Sancho who allowed the security of his election machines to be tested and hacked, etc.). This is your chance to ask them anything you want.

There are special sections for young voters (under 25), for those interested in inclusiveness (e.g., racial discrimination in elections and remedies), plus discussions around other election reform topics (e.g. paper ballots--problems/solutions, etc.).

I wouldn't say so much rock star as someone who puts his money, his time and his mouth in what he believes. That takes 100% courage !

Brad, I'm glad you and Air America are working together on this. Yeah, see if you can get goddess of radio Randi this weekend. Thanks for bringing this to those of us who couldn't make it down to Crawford. This is history in the making. Keep up the outstanding work. Give Cindy and the other Gold Star moms a hug for us when you have to leave.

I am new here this week but have been really excited by what I've heard. Mistakenly, I thought years of waiting necessary for us to get up to speed with the righties media.

Alas, a hamster, a can, and string takes care of it. My contribution should help considerably toward equipment. Don't sweat the food for critters - will send separately.

Brad, your character and dedication is inspiring to us all. Thanks, dude. You are making a difference, not to mention history.

Hugs, dude. Watch out for the heat. Cold towels, spritzing etc. Your voice is a beacon in the night.

This week has been great! Nothing else would have separated me from my $$$ because I had reached a point of disgust at all the hands out and little results.

You rock!
Ann

Geez, forgot proper luv for Otie and the hamster.

For all of those making this broadcast possible, a hearty thanks.

It is a powerful tool and its potential for rallying all of us is phenominal.

Stay as cool as possible and watch out for that nasty heat. They already removed someone from the Bushies who was overcome with heat. Iconoclast might have some update.

Luv to all of you out......

Brad
your shows are riveting, I am so proud you are covering the real news.. you are already becoming the real mainstream media.... give cindy a big hug for all of us, and tell her we think her son's death was not in vein because of her actions, his death spawned a movement that will rid our country of its pestilence in the white house...

good going brad, keep up the great broadcasting, we anxiously await all your shows out here in progressive America....

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

BRAD BLOG Featured Stories
OH attorney Cliff Arnebeck sent an email to AG Mukasey today asking for protection of the GOP's "high IQ Forrest Gump", following reports from 'credible sources' of threats sent to Mike Connell and his wife should he be unwilling to "take the fall" for election fraud in the Buckeye State's '04 election. The reports of a threat from Rove, comes on the heels of Arnebeck's announcement last week that he's filed a motion to lift the stay on a long-standing 2004 federal election lawsuit based on the discovery of new information. Details and the complete email from Arnebeck to Mukasey are now posted here...

VotersUnite.org's Daily Voting News 'Daily Voting News' For July 24, 2008
by John Gideon

In today’s featured article Bo Lipari of New Yorkers For Verified Voting opens, “It’s become obvious that New York State’s new voting systems will not be able to complete New York State certification testing in time for the scheduled 2009 rollout. The state sets the highest bar in the nation for approval of voting machines, one that vendors have never been required to meet before. Their performance in New York demonstrates that they are a long, long way from understanding that the public will not stand for poorly designed, badly tested and outrageously overpriced equipment, and a business philosophy of let the customer be damned.”...
