And of course there is a question and answer period with the audience near the end. Visit http://www.progressiveradionorthwest.org for more information on this and upcoming forums and much more! We know not everyone was able to make it to the forum in person. For that reason, with permission from PRNW, I would like to share the audio recording I made of the event.

Please share the PRNW website and this mp3 far and wide! Spread the word and make change happen! Thank you! And another huge thank you to PRNW, Mark, SpaceDog and everyone who came!

Filter Free Radio Episode #108 - Freeing Our Elections & Portland's No Coal Exports Protest! Jacob Dean broadcasts live from Portland, Oregon and speaks with special guest Chad Peace, Legal Advisor to IVP and National Legal Strategist for the EndPartisanship.org coalition that filed suit in the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey demanding that every voter should have an equal and meaningful vote at every stage of the state-funded election process, regardless of their party affiliation or non-affiliation. From the lawsuit, "A primary election is often the most important part of the electoral process … By denying over 2.6 million New Jersey voters the right to cast a vote in the primary election, the State has disenfranchised nearly half of its electorate, and thereby, given private political parties and partisan voters a greater and unequal access to the voting franchise. As a result, New Jersey’s elections are not free, not equal, and not constitutional..." Plus the Portland, Oregon No Coal Exports Rally at Pioneer Courthouse Square against Ambre energy and the Morrow Pacific Project coal exports that happened over the weekend organized by Power Past Coal, focusing on families and youth.
