November elections are coming up and democrats around the country are starting to wonder if they can hold onto the House. Author and Nation contributor JoAnn Wypijewski joins us in the studio to describe her on the ground tour of the United States – talking to people, and figuring out the political fabric at stake. Her discoveries are that many Americans feel defenseless against catastrophes ranging from foreclosures to job loss to the BP oil spill – but unlike the Great Depression, people are hiding their pain. Nevertheless, Republicans are trying to tap into this defenseless Achilles heel, using pervasive negativity to fuel their eternal “party of no.”
An urgent appeal for your support: 4 Days to raise $31,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 4 days to hit our $31,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
