The latest links to the information you need to counter right-wing spin...

Abortion is not widely used as birth control

Obama is not targeting Chrysler dealerships owned by Republicans for closure

There are successful unionized companies in the U.S.

The TARP fund is making a profit

Only 10% of the deficit comes from Obama's policies, another 20% comes from Obama continuing Bush policies

Measures that show that Florida's education system is good are misleading, those stats only account for those who actually complete schooling here, where we have a horrible graduation rate

The Postal Service is a highly efficient government program

There are tremendous restrictions on abortion in most states already

Crashing the States Radio for 6/11

by: T Rex

Thu Jun 11, 2009 at 12:50:42 PM PDT

Our second episode of our new radio show from Florida Progressive Coalition and BlogsUnited -- Crashing the States!  The show will feature coverage of blogging and Netroots activity from all 50 states and the territories as well as discussing the hot issues and elections in each state.  Join us as we invite local bloggers and activists from around the country to share what's going on in their neck of the woods.  Today's show features blogger Aldon Hynes of the Connecticut blog Orient Lodge. The show airs from 4-4:30 p.m. eastern.

Go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fpc to listen to the show.

I'll welcome calls, as well, as long as they're on topic, of course. If you are interested, you can call in at (646) 716-7543. This is not a toll free call, so make sure you check your calling plan.  If you call in for any reason, make sure to turn down your radio so we don't get feedback or an echo effect.

If you miss the show today, it will be archived on the web site and you can listen to it later as streaming audio or download it as an mp3. I hope you enjoy...
