Shadow Politics with US Senator Michael D BrownDiscussing the challenges of the 21st century and DC Statehood Author: BBS Radio, BBS Network Inc.
Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog. We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem. Language: en-us Genres: History, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Guest, Congressman Tom Davis - When Might this Government Shutdown End? The current federal government shut-down has reached the month-mark, and everyone wonders if there is an end in sight. "Liberty Jones" and I will speak *LIVE* with former Congressman Tom Davis to discuss the challenges of bipartisanship in Congress (or lack thereof) and the state of politics in America. Please join us for an interesting discussion with a former politician who has been very involved with DC politics and DMV issues during his tenure in Congress. About Tom Davis: Thomas M. Davis III, Esq. served 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 11th Congressional District of Virginia. Rep. Davis served as chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (2003-2007), where he led a number of high-profile investigations. Davis was elected chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee and served 1999 to 2002. When he joined Congress, Tom was the first freshman representative in 50 years to hold a subcommittee chairmanship, taking the gavel of the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia. While in Congress, Rep. Davis was a chief author of more than 100 pieces of legislation that became law, including the DC "Control Board" Act, the DC College Access Program, and the DC Revitalization Act. He also presided over 150 hearings and investigations culminating in reports which included Hurricane Katrina, steroid use in professional baseball and contracting in Iraq. Davis has also authored numerous thought pieces in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and The Hill on the workings of Congress and other governmental issues. He also has appeared as a commentator on various television news and entertainment programs, including "Meet the Press," "Fox News Sunday Show" (power player of the week), MSNBC, CNN and the "Bill Maher Show."
