Democracy Now | 
After giving a nearly six-month tryout for the internet talk show host Cenk Uygur, the cable news channel MSNBC is preparing to instead award its 6:00 p.m. prime-time slot to the Reverend Al Sharpton. MSNBC President Phil Griffin offered Uygur a well-paid but lower-profile on-air slot, but Uygur rejected the offer, saying the decision to demote him was politically motivated. We speak with Uygur, who also blogs at several liberal websites and hosts a popular internet and radio show, "The Young Turks." Watch/Listen/Read In Texas, a hate crime victim is attempting to save the life of a convicted murderer who shot him in the face at close range after 9/11. Rais Bhuiyan is suing Governor Rick Perry in order to stop the execution of death row prisoner Mark Stroman scheduled for Wednesday. Stroman shot Bhuiyan in 2001, partially blinding him in his right eye. Stroman, an Aryan Brotherhood member, also killed Vasudev Patel, an Indian immigrant who was Hindu, and Waqar Hasan, a Muslim born in Pakistan. Watch/Listen/Read After months of fierce opposition from Wall Street, corporate lobbyists and Republican lawmakers, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau officially launches this week in Washington, D.C. A product of last year's overhaul of financial regulation, the bureau was established to protect consumers from deceptive practices. Obama has tapped former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray instead of Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard professor who first proposed the bureau and has overseen its establishment for the past year.

Air America co-founders launch new Progressive Voices App | 
After the experience of creating and launching an underfunded Air America Radio, we realized that without Rupert Murdoch's money we would never catch up on TV or radio. Due to the unprecedented growth of the Mobile Internet, we believe that with your help, we can create an independent Progressive Media Universe. Our non-profit, Progressive Voices Smartphone App is a one-stop shop for everything progressive in print, video and audio. We are very proud to announce the launch of the Progressive Voices Institute, a 501(c)(3), created with a single purpose in mind - to level the news and information playing field by creating our own Progressive Media Universe on the fast-growing Mobile Internet. We must acknowledge that we were twenty-five years behind the conservatives in talk radio, and that even MSNBC doesn't program 24/7 progressive content, but rather than chase the incumbents' enormous lead, and try again to start an old technology radio or cable business, it's our goal to get in front of the next platform, the Mobile Internet. Consider the numbers: there are already more than 100 million smartphones and tablets, growing to 1 billion by 2013. Until now, the very limited number of radio broadcast licenses and the extremely high cost of starting a cable network have ensured the incumbents' monopoly. That changes now. The first project of the Progressive Voices Institute is the Progressive Voices (PV) App. The PV App is the primary portal for all things (text, audio, video, etc.) progressive on the Mobile Internet. The App puts all progressive media content in the hands of millions. To accomplish this, we need your help. What we're asking for today is that you download the app, and spread the word to your email list, your Facebook friends and your Twitter followers. Here's a link to the Apple version of the App: Progressive Voices App for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store And, here's the Android version link: https://market.android.com/details?i...sivevoices.com We have a Web presence at Progressive Voices : The Smartphone App that is the one-stop-shop for everything Progressive Politics, Opinion and Causes | |
Evolutionary Partnership: Women and Men | 
Evolutionary Partnership/ Women & Men is an experiential workshop in which you can move to new levels of relatedness in your personal, social or professional partnerships. Drawing on the archetypal opposites of the Feminine and the Masculine, we'll explore how gender conflicts between men and women, men and men, or women and women can provide a springboard to creative change and deep partnership. Additionally, our experience has shown that when men and women develop the skills to address gender conflicts, they become more able to stand together as allies across other differences to work for positive change in the world. Join us on this journey! Jane & Dirk Velten - Facilitators Two Opportunities: Friday, July 29, 7:00-9:00 p.m. FREE /and/ or Basic 1-Day Workshop Saturday, July 30, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. $85.00 per person Register for the workshop HERE Registration by mail with check sent to: Valley Reed /11231 McCree /Dallas, Texas 75238 For more information contact: Valley Reed 214-288-8935 rumireed@gmail.com Hadi Jawad 214-392-2939 shadijawad@aol.com Where: Dallas Meditation Center, 727 S.
