Sam Smith is the editor of The Progressive Review, which has been providing THE NEWS WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT since 1964. Sam has been an informed observer and analyst of news for decades, as well as an accomplished musician. This will be Sam's fourth visit to the show. Among other things we'll discuss the viability of third party candidates, in a followup to last week's interview with Ben Manski, campaign manager for Jill Stein. Sherwood Ross, an award-winning reporter, has provided a monthly column to The New American Dream Radio Show since May 2011. He served in the U.S Air Force where he contributed to his base newspaper, and later worked for The Miami Herald and Chicago Daily News. He contributed a weekly column on working for a major wire service. His columns have triggered more discussion than any other item on the show. We'll be changing the beginning of our show from here on; our sponsors have graciously agreed that we don't have to run their ads before or during the show, so we can concentrate on what we (and our guests) have to say. Be sure to check out The News from Mount Liberty, a segment where Chuck and Mike alternately read from Mike's books. Many listeners feel it's the best part of the show. It's probably the part that is the most fun for us ;) 01:16:00The New American Dream Radio ShownoProgressive Review,Sam Smith,Sherwood Ross,The News from Mount Liberty,OpinionCo-hosts Mike Palecek and Chuck Gregory are pleased to welcome Sam Smith and Sherwood Ross in the show this week.

This community center includes a day care center, a modest kitchen, and classrooms for adult literacy, sewing and carpentry. It's a living continuation of the Catholic Worker movement started in 1933, New York City, by our co-founders Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. Their ongoing commitment is to attempt to live out the Gospels and nonviolent teachings of Jesus, of Gandhi, of Mohammed in their daily lives.Ben Manski Ben is the campaign manager for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. He's also a well recognized voice in his own right, whose work work has taken him from farm fields to forest blockades, labor struggles to independent politics, clinic defense to legal defense, and to every region of the country. Internationally recognized to be among the most innovative of the new generation of U.S. progressives, Manski is best known for his efforts to build a new democracy movement in the United States. We look forward to some enlightening discussion with these people who are actively trying to make a difference. As always, we'll close the show with The News from Mount Liberty, which Mike Palecek creates each week, drawing on excerpts from his books reinvented to reflect what's happening right now. Join us live, or listen later. We have a dream of a better America, a better world; you can help us to make our dream a reality. 01:13:00The New American Dream Radio ShownoRichard Flamer,Ben Manski,Activism,Politics,OpinionWe welcome guests: Richard Flamer Richard runs The Chiapas Project in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico.

Anthony Rayson is a Chicago activist with a 'regular' job collecting tolls. He said in agreeing to talk this week, "It's been a momentous last three months!  One of my close collaborators is one of the 'NATO Five' who were pre-emptively arrested shortly before NATO came on trumped up 'terrorism' charges.  Also, we managed to get the plug pulled from the Crete Immigration Detention Center.  A week later, ICE pulled out of the one planned near Miami.  Then, Obama came out with his 2-year quasi-amnesty for certain 'illegals.'  So, yeah, I could fill people in on the latest from the Chicagoland activist scene.  Take care!  @nthony" Kevin Annett is a new guest for us. Here's some info: In 1992, Kevin Annett was an ordained minister with the United Church of Canada in Port Alberni on British Columbia's Vancouver Island, a logging town half populated with native Indians. He discovered a history of abuse and atrocities ranging from torture, sodomy and rape to murder, among the native children in the church's residential school. These crimes had taken place for more than a century and indicated deliberate genocide. He later discovered that such was the case in more than 140 schools run by the major churches with the complicity of the Canadian government. Refusing to remain silent, Kevin Annett was defrocked by his church and lost his family and livelihood. For 15 years,  he has conducted a one man campaign for justice for the survivors of this crime, and for the bringing to trial of those responsible. His story is a true David and Goliath epic. 01:08:00The New American Dream Radio ShownoActivism,Anthony Rayson,Kevin Annett,The News from Mount Liberty,OpinionPlease join us Thursday, July 19, 7:30 p.m. Eastern, 6:30 p.m. Central Time with special guests ANTHONY RAYSON and KEVIN ANNETT, along with commentary, and Thehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-new-american-dream-radio-show/2012/07/12/july-12-2012-with-doug-draime-and-frank-cordaroPolitics Progressivehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-new-american-dream-radio-show/2012/07/12/july-12-2012-with-doug-draime-and-frank-cordaro/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-new-american-dream-radio-show/2012/07/12/july-12-2012-with-doug-draime-and-frank-cordaroThu, 12 Jul 2012 23:45:00 GMTJuly 12, 2012 with Doug Draime and Frank Cordaro Chuck Gregory and Mike Palecek welcome poet Doug Draime and Des Moine catholic worker activist Frank Cordaro to the show. This is the final show produced by Len Osanic of Black Op radio, and our 75th show ever. Chuck Adds: "I'd intended to stream the recording live but I'm still learning my way around BTR and made just a teeny tiny mistake...so I'm adding it after the fact. Join us next week for are first real BTR show when we get to make a whole new set of mistakes right in front of you! Hopefully not of course--but in our New American Dream mistakes are okay, they are something we admit and accept instead of covering them up and lying about them. The only people who don't make mistakes are those who don't do anything at all--and that in itself is a mistake isn't it?" 01:05:00The New American Dream Radio ShownoDoug Draime,Frank Cordaro,Mike Palecek,Chuck Gregory,poetryChuck Gregory and Mike Palecek welcome poet Doug Draime and Des Moine catholic worker activist Frank Cordaro to the show.
