Free Press Election Reporting
Phoenix- Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs’ veto of the bipartisan bill HB2560 is a missed opportunity to present voters with essential election records that would have allowed them to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of the state’s elections.
The bill would have provided voters with four sets of data to confirm Arizona’s election results. The first two data sets would have allowed voters to see that only eligible and qualified voters cast a ballot. The third and fourth data sets would have allowed voters to compare a digital image of every paper ballot to the way that ballot’s votes were recorded in the final results spreadsheet – essentially the starting and finish lines of the electronic counting process.
In her veto statement, Gov. Hobbs incorrectly claimed that publishing ballot images would threaten anonymity and privacy and add to the spread of mis- and dis-information.
Hour 1: North Carolina On The Brink
We are joined in GREEP #138 by the young new leadership of the North Carolina Democratic Party.
ANDERSON CLAYTON, age 25, is a grassroots organizer from rural NC who is now the chair of the state’s Democratic Party
Her First Vice Chair is JONAH GARCON, an energetic young attorney with a long history in grassroots organizing.
They’re joined by ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground; RAY MCCLENDON of the Georgia NAACP; ROBERT WILSON, former NC Assistant Secretary of State;
legendary Charlotte-based organizer JOEL SEGAL; PR specialist ILENE PROCTOR and many more.
The challenge of moving North Carolina to real democracy ;remains at the core of saving America as a whole.
Our gathering seriously moves us ahead in that direction.
Hour 2: The Legendary Steven Donzinger Fights For Our Freedom
We are joined at the GREE-GREE zoom #138 part 2 by STEVE DONZIGER, whose fights for the Amazon & legal rights in America are unprecedented.
With his stunning revelations about mass partisan disenfranchisement in the Florida 2000 presidential fiasco, Greg god-fathered the modern election protection movement.
He played a key role in the reporting that came out of Ohio 2004, and too many additional “irregularities” that have surfaced since.
He has continued this incredibly important work most recently with his documentary film VIGILANTE, about Jim Crow election theft in current-day Georgia.
Greg also has a long history in reporting on atomic energy, and gives us a deep, knowledgeable presentation on the latest “Nuke Renaissance.”
There is no one on the American media scene with more to say about where we’re at than Greg Palast. Don’t miss this amazing show.
No Nukes! No More Coup Selections.
Our Green Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom #133 begins with ANDY MOORE of the National Association of Non-Partisan Reformers, a nationwide coalition of organizations working for election reform.
The great ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground fills us in on her great grassroots push in Virginia.
NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org then explains the aftermath of the progressive movement’s huge Supreme Court victory in Wisconsin, which will stretch deep into the 2024 presidential election.
We then hear from the great ANNA GYORGY about German’s monumental decision to shut down ALL its atomic reactors, which finally closed on April 15.
In tandem we hear about the world-changing ENERGIEWENDE, Germany’s incredibly rapid and effective shift toward a 100% green-powered energy supply in the world’s 4th-largest economy.
Anna is joined by SCOTT DENMAN and by LINDA PENCE, both legendary long-term safe energy activists with great things to say about this European dawn of Solartopia.
PART TWO: SECOND HOUR…..please also put this on the air where you can…
Our GREE-GREE #132 foreshadows the major victory in Wisconsin’s critical state Supreme Court race that is being widely ranked as “the most important election of 2023.”
We hear from ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground, NORM STOCKWELL of Progressive.org, and THOMAS NELSON of grassroots Wisconsin on the coming of what would be a huge victory for the Progressive movement.
We know as you’re listening to this that the left-leaning “Judge Janet” Protasiewicz won this crucial judgeship by a substantial margin. She beat a MAGA Republican.
So if you want to know how this happened, listen in to the powerful views of a critically important trio of organizer/activists who helped make this progressive victory happened.
We then turn to BRYNN TANNEHILL and her uniquely brilliant systemic presentation on the national assault against the rights and freedoms of trans Americans.
Among much more, Brynn tells us that “gun rights” stalwarts who NEVER want to limit gun ownership now want to make it illegal for trans citizens to own a gun.[IN OUR SECOND HOUR, FOR NEXT WEEK:
Our GREEP #132 starts with the “deal of the century” as Xi & Putin lay the foundation for an end of the American Century and the dominance of the dollar.
As part of that excursion we visit “The Big Short” and other critical documents on the most recent fall of the American economy.
KFPA/Flashpoint’s DENNIS BERNSTEIN, LYNN HEIDIKOPER and others help us with the horrendous details.
From there we go to the all-important race for the deciding seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where grassroots organizing will make all the difference.
JOHN STEINER fills us in with critical details.
We also hear from JUDITH WHITMER, recently purged as chair of the Nevada Democratic Party for being too progressive & grassroots. Where have we heard that before?
One place is New York, where JULIE WIENER and RON LEONARD explain how the utterly feeble Democrats blew it for the entire US House.
BRYANN TANNEHILL fills us in on the national war against LGBTQ citizens. WENDI LEDERMAN gives us the ugly details from DeSantis’s Florida, where Disney (!!!) is fighting back.
The 2024 races for the White House and Congress may be decided Tuesday, April 4, in Wisconsin.
And the Democrats may be set to blow it by spending millions on media buys while ignoring grassroots organizing.
The hotly contested election is for the vacant swing seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court. The outcome could ride on how many voters of youth and color turn out to cast ballots.
And while the Democrats have so far outspent the Republicans on media advertising, their general unwillingness to support grassroots organizing could easily lose the seat….and much more.
That puts this race at Ground Zero in the bitter dispute about where progressive should focus their electoral efforts leading up to 2024—-by sending money and other support to the Democratic Party and its candidates…or by directly supporting grassroots groups focussed on getting out the vote, as they did in creating the “Georgia Miracle” that secured two very unlikely US Senate seats in 2020-2.

We then hear from RAY MCCLENDON about the escalated attempts to crush democracy in Georgia.
Finally we do a deep dive on the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race that could redefine national politics.
GREG LEWIS of Souls to the polls joins legendary journalists RUTH CONIFF and NORM STOCKWELL in dissecting the realities of what may be the most important election of 2023.
HOWIE HAWKINS of the Green Party also joins the discussion.
With control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court comes critical decisions on women’s rights, voting rights, gerrymandering and much more.
As Wisconsin is certain to prove critical in the 2024 election, this state Supreme Court race could decide much of the American future.
GREEGREE #127 starts with the great ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground as she explains her legendary organization’s grassroots work in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Because the Court in WI is evenly divided (3-3) between progressives v. conservatives, this oddly timed (April 3) election will have huge impact.
As Andrea explains, a woman’s right to choose is on the line, as is redistricting, voter registration and much more in a state that could well decide the 2024 presidential campaign.
We hear further from KARLA SAND in Minnesota, who gives important detail on the unexpected victory of KEITH ELLISION for the AG office in Minnesota.
DR. RUTH STRAUSS asks Andrea about the Virginia election that has now sent the state’s first woman of color to the US Congress.
DOROTHY REIK and CYNTHIA PAPERMASTER also add to our discussion, in particular about the potential US Senate candidacy of Rep. Barbara Lee, the only Congressperson to vote again the Afghan War.
