Citizens United: The end of democracy in America?

On today's show, we'll talk about the Supreme Court's outrageously activist decision that puts corporate money and wealthy donors on a level playing field with ... you. How do you think that battle plays out?

What have you been reading about the influence this decision has already had on the conduct of elections? Share your thoughts below, or call us at (386) 523-1380 to share your views.

"Don't vote; it only encourages them."

A number of us have heard comments like this from within Occupy groups and in other places, as well. What is the point of participating in a system we know has been perverted by corporate influence and other chicanery? We'll talk about it on today's show. Deirdre Macnab, president of the Florida League of Women Voters, will join us.

They don't want you to, anyway: We'll also discuss the alarming success of conservative efforts to suppress voter turnout in many states.

Coming Up Tuesday ...

We're going to address a critical issue facing the nation: foreclosure. Our community is among the most-affected in the nation, with Florida leading the way as losses to foreclosure continue to mount. What role is played by fraud? What can we do?

We'll also discuss some implications of the recent $2 billion loss by JP Morgan Chase.

What do you think? What have you been reading about these issues? How have you been affected?

May 1 - International Workers Day

Today on the show we'll discuss the history of the labor movement, how it has improved the lives of millions of workers, and why working people must fight to protect themselves from corporate greed and restore their rights in the workplace. Big Money knows it can divide and conquer; how can we unite and win?

Guests will include representatives of local unions. We'll check in on the May Day activities of Occupy groups around the country and update you on what's happening.

As always we welcome your calls, blog comments and tweets to @airoccupy.

We want to hear from you; join in!
