On film in Burlington, VT...

Though I won't be there in person, the travelling Burning Fuse Film Festival hits Burlington, VT's Roxy Theater beginning today through October 1, and continues to feature Patty Sharaf's award-winning documentary, Murder, Spies & Voting Lies: The Clint Curtis Story in which I'm featured quite prominently. Remaining screenings are: Fri 9/25 @ 1:15p, Sat 9/26 @ 1:00p, Sun 9/27 @ 5:00p, Mon, 9/28 @ 7:00p and Thu 10/1 @ 3:30p. If you've yet to see it, we'll strongly recommend you check out this entertaining and enlightening (if horrifying at times) documentary, based on our own years-long investigation of the Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney vote-rigging scandal. More details on screenings and passes available here...

(NOTE: If you're not near Burlington, or even if you are, but would like to support our work, we are still offering DVD's of the film, as signed by both myself and Sharaf, as premiums to supporters of The BRAD BLOG. We enjoy no corporate or foundational funding, so we appreciate whatever you are able to offer to help us continue our work. See this item for details...)

In person in San Diego...

On Saturday at 2pm, I'll be speaking on the Media Reform panel at the California Democratic Council's 2009 Grassroots Convention in San Diego at the Naval Training Center Promenade. (I'll offer my usual disclaimer here, that I'll also be delighted to appear at the CA Republican Council's convention any time they wish to invite me!) San Diego is a particularly shameful example of how the media system has been rigged in favor of rightwing corporatocracy by lack of competition. As shown in the video at right, Clear Channel recently flipped the city's only Progressive Talk radio station, KLSD, over to sports, despite the fact that registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans down there, even while the city already has several sports and rightwing talk stations for citizens. Please stop by if you're able. Details here...
