I read your article asking for help but seen no address where to send a check to contribute to the campaign

Your description on your show was not accurate. The countries of Norway, Sweden, Canada, etc. have a blend of capitalism and socialism. Taxes pay for health care, education, social and governmental services. Corporations and small businesses are funded independently, privately or by the stock markets.  

I am from Jamaica and lived through this model during the 70's under the Micheal Manley regime and saw up front how this model destroyed some aspects of the economy,eg,sugar industry,bauxite,tourism and more.There was a massive brain drain as it also caused the collapse of the middle class which no longer existed,it was the have's and the have nots that were left.It is said this model is a cousin to communism and it's the equal distribution of poverty,other than Sweden I do not know of any country where this model is successful. Would love to discuss.

Fairchance is a charity in Colorado which was formed as a collaborative partnerships with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado. It was formed as a result of the Obama Administration's (and most likely Van Jone's involvement) provision of a fax to all the U.S. Attorney's Offices in each of the 50 states, requesting their local involvement in re-entry programs for those with a 'justice-involved' past. When the U.S. Attorney's Office contacted the "Colorado Career Project", "Fairchance" was born as a 501c3. Cutting the prison population in half takes a village. But the village can be surprisingly small if the 'ingredients' of the requisite stone soup are provided for. Justice-involved candidates need jobs, of course. But more than their training and counseling, they need employers who are WILLING to take the chance on America's most prolific and ready workforce resource. Fairchance hosts Colorado's largest career fairs, but has attached "symposiums" to the career fairs that pre-condition employers toward hiring. Presided by the U.S. Attorney's Office & U.S. Dept of Labor, "Fairchance" informs employers of the economic values of hiring justice-involved candidates before the career fairs. Tax Incentives, Free Bonding Insurance, and state and federal wage subsidizations ("Free employees") can be provided to employers willing to take a chance with justice involve candidates. Finally, Fairchance utilizes the impact presentations of justice-involved candidates who've turned their lives around. "Tearful testimonies" have helped open the hearts of many major employers including The U.S. Post Office, RNDC, and others. Fairchance 'cements' job hires through the multilevel approach of 1) Incentivizing justice-involved hires (compelling employers to act), 2) Counseling & training Justice-involved candidates, and 3) Providing provisional networks of food, transportation, and housing for re-entry candidates. The "village" that is required to lower recidivism and cement re-entry changes is getting smaller and smaller, and that's a good thing. Historically, more and more agencies, people, and dollars have been thrown at re-entry. But without first 'converting' employers through Fairchance, the process was often all for naught. When employers are networked, willing to consider a case-by-case basis, and driven toward local social change, they can actually enhance the process instead of fighting against it.

Seems the swamp made way for the cesspool of "elites" in this administration. It's sad but this country has not progressed as far as we purport regarding race relations.

Great interview with Al Gore. Led me to read Van Jones’story on Wikipedia. The conservatives ran this great man out of his job. Look at the behavior of those working for the government now. Does no good not to hold your ground against these fakes.

Currently, Nuclear Power plants are being closed due to the lower price of natural gas generated electricity. These events are short sighted. Nuclear energy is a clean carbon free energy. What does the former Vice President and your follower thing?
