ShameFree CivicsThe no-judgments, non-partisan Owner's Manual to law, governance and citizenship in the U.S. that you don't have to be a law professor to understand. Author: Patricia A McBride
ShameFree Civics (TM) is hosted by Ann Heilman and Pam McBride, a pair of devoted U.S. Constitution fans who've both happily called multiple different regions of the U.S. home. Ann and Pam sometimes disagree on policy, but both believe all Americans are entitled to understand and take part in their local, state and national governance institutions, without needing an advanced degree to do it. ShameFree Civics is your no-judgments, non-partisan, mostly upbeat, "Owner's Manual" to law, government and citizenship ("civics") in the U.S. It's the place to get answers to all your questions about how law and government work in America, and to get the tools to speak up and participate effectively and constructively whether you need a local building permit or want your U.S. Senator to represent your interests. As we address day to day concerns we'll see how our Constitutional structures --at the national and state levels-- were designed to serve and protect all of us, even when our interests and ideologies deeply conflict. Especially then. Pam McBride is a mom, former lawyer, civil liberties advocate, and business strategist in the DC metro area, while Ann Heilman is a mom, former lawyer, certified high school government teacher, one-time Young Republicans club president, education coach, AND working farmer from South Carolina (she doesn't sleep a lot). We met in Chicago a really long time ago and, despite having almost nothing in common politically, we bonded over a love of the outdoors, an honest argument, sportsmanship and, as it turned out, good whisky. We haven't lived within 500 miles of each other since, but we're never at a loss for something to talk about, especially when it comes to this country, which we both love to the point of being a little embarrassing. We'll take your questions and get you non-partisan, user-friendly answers to the things that confuse or frustrate you about law and government issues. We'll draw a bit on our own pretty decent knowledge of law Language: en Genres: News, Politics, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
