Must Watch TV - PBS Airs Friday Special on Clean Elections

By Nick Nyhart (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments

On Friday, October 20, 2006, the PBS weekly newsmagazine NOW will present a special hour-long episode into the fight to keep American elections free and fair across the country. Called "Votes for Sale?", the show will spotlight the Clean Elections movement that has taken hold in Maine and Arizona as well as talk about campaigns to win Clean Elections across the country.

The show includes an interview with me on Clean Elections efforts both nationally and in the states. Also featured is David Donnelly, the Public Campaign Action Fund's national campaigns director, on his time as the campaign manager for the successful ballot effort that made Maine the first Clean Elections state in the nation.

"Votes for Sale?" will air Friday, October 20 on PBS stations nationwide. Check local listings or click here to search for the air time in skokie.

I hope you have time to watch NOW this Friday. And please don't forget to pass this message on to your friends and family to help educate those who may not have heard about Clean Elections.

Kind regards,

Nick Nyhart

Executive Director

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
