Occupy Wall Street apparently scares the bejesus out of Wall Street.

“Mike Farrell’s Of Mule and Man is a one-of-a-kind American road trip. It’s a quite enjoyable ride with an observant and generous friend who is at home crisscrossing the country with a rental hybrid he calls Mule. Farrell travels through both the beautiful and busted landscape from desert to bayou, urban to rural, listening in and arguing silently with conservative talk radio found in even the most remote places, and ending each day at bookstores and community organizations to have conversations with activists, friends, and family who are doing the hard work of social justice in every neighborhood. ‘Heroes abound in this world,’ Farrell writes. He is one of them.”–Walter Mosley, author of The Tempest Tales

Thanks Allie or the cool write-up on the Coffee Party this week.

Who is the Coffee Party and What are they ? Eric Byler explained to CBS in San Francisco last April,”The Coffee Party was started by Eric Byler and Annabelle Park in 2010. According to Byler, it began as an online meeting place where political and social ideology could be discussed. Byler calls it a “virtual town hall” with Facebook and Twitter as its primary vehicles. The Coffee Party boasts an email list of 80,000 people. Byler says it differs from the rival Tea Party in that everything discussed on it’s site must be fact based.”

Here is a Must Read essay by Eric explaining the Coffee Party and how be became involved, as well as his history with Annabell and their political work that began with their shared work Film Making. This essay insightfully explains how politics impacts lives and how so many issues and lives are being swept up in these times. He explains and explores how Immigration issues combined with media created a real vehicle for discussion and motivation for Film and activism.

We have a huge show coming up this Sunday! Which also happens to be my 50th birthday. Yikes. So, I’ll be spending at least the show part of it talking with some people you may have heard of around the progressive blogosphere!

Wendell Potter, Insurance industry whistle blower, watch dog and author of the book Deadly Spin will be joining us to talk about the atrocity that is the for profit healthcare industry in America.

Lucinida Marshall is a researcher looking at insurance issues related to the new Health Care Reform laws are and will be affecting people situations such as pre-existing conditions or moving insurance from State to State as many people are finding necessary as they range farther from home in search of work in other states. She will also share her research on how High Risk Pools are pricing people out the care they need.

Vanessa Beck is the new Director of Organizing at Healthcare NOW a nationwide organization fighting to preserve and expand Medicare to all who need it.

Healthcare-NOW! is a grassroots organization that addresses the health insurance crisis in the U.S. by educating and advocating for the passage of single-payer healthcare legislation, such as HR 676. We support building the movement necessary to implement a publicly-funded, single-payer healthcare system that is universal, equitable, transparent, accountable, comprehensive, and that removes financial and other barriers to the right to health.

and… as if that were not enough for one action packed show…

We finish off the night with a roundtable discussion with Mad as Hell Doctors, Phillip Kaufmann, Mike Huntington and Paul Hochfeld. Mad As Hell Doctors are physicians and other advocates who in August 2009 decided that we were indeed mad as hell about the cruel and inefficient system of health care that we have in the US.

How bold is it?
