    Right now, Brad is re-playing some Election Reform Commission audio from last Monday’s hearing. "Photo ID" discussion…

    Hope you fix things, Winter P!

    Sounds good, no problems with buffering here. Brad’s a natural. Disgusting the way the Commission "morphed" election fraud discussion into VOTER fraud. It makes total sense now why they didn’t invite Rep. Conyers. He would not have sat quietly by while they made the focus be voter identification and photo ID’s as the way to prevent VOTER fraud!! Grrrrr…

    Excellent as expected! A bit more frank and to the point this week as preparations weren’t limited to 24 hours. It’s RAW in your face RADIO! Brad rocks!

    Someone should call Brad and tell him that Bushwacker is the one that came up with "we’re not gonna take it".. not me 😛

    Hi Larisa! You were great last week! I hope you’ll be a regular on the show… perhaps discuss and disseminate the week’s news in the truthful way that only you can? Say you will please..?

    I can’t tune in but for a few more minutes so catch up with you all later. Have fun and keep making noise!!

    ps. For those of you who have the link, The BRAD BLOG HTML Assistant is updated. Let me know what to do to improve it? Thanks.

    Hey Brad! Good to hear you on the radio! Just letting you all know I met some of the voting machine vendors today in Trenton, NJ – Recording for Blind and Disabled event. Guess what — even the blind want their votes to count. Anyway, Rush Holt was there as well as a a NJ state re who introduced an audidatbale voting bill today. Rush Holt had a good guote – went something like this — "Anything of any value should be auditable".

    I got some phone numbers from some of the reps. I understand that the guy from Sequoia was a VP. NJ is loaded with Sequoia machines. He can provide paper trail but needs money from voting districts to pay for them. It’s up to us to badger our reps – but it’s an endless cycle, isn’t it? I told him that it would be a lot easier for us to badger them if big companies like his would stop seducing them with perks while not educating them on what is best for democracy.

    Is there any way to get rid of the buzzing noise in the background? I’m listening via realaudio. I lost my stream. OK, heading to chat.

    OT but what the hay ,streaming on dial-up from down under is not happening ,so Bolton is being rewarded for services "beyond the call of duty"

    Omigod I’m so excited I’m finally able to listen! Brad, you sound great!

    "Henry Hyde said that the Clinton impeachment was payback for Richard Nixon"???
    …..I did not catch the whole of that discussion, but apparently the show is pulling quotes from The Twilight Zone…or is it the Kool-aid Zone?

    I think Brad is now talking to someone from Raw Story about the Bolton nomination…and how it appears to be ‘going down’…I hope they mean ‘in flames’…

    Torqued… actually, I might be on from time to time (we are pals anyway), but Andy and I are going to have our own show on the network… Andy Stephenson. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

    Also, HUGE story breaking tomorrow night. John Byrne has been on it for days. Spread that around if you can, because it has to run tomorrow night (not Raw’s choice), so it may get buried by Monday news. BUT it is huge.
