ten reasons to start new public access TV show and newspaper...

Hi all...

If you can, please come out today (Sunday) 3 pm to meet us at the Rhinecliff dock (by the Amtrak train station down by the river)-- with Frances Sandiford to re-launch our public access TV show on PANDA (Public Access Northern Dutchess Alliance)!...

[you may recall that from 1995 to 2004 I literally made over 500 different weekly shows; many folks have suggested I rev that process all back up again-- so am doing so!...but could use your help; even if you can't be there today, please let me know if you're interested in helping out on future shows!]

Here are twelve reasons why I'm re-starting a public access TV show locally-- twelve oft-censored truths that almost never get out on local TV or radio stations or newspapers (yes-- even more reason why I need your help to get our local progressive newspaper project off the ground as well; let me know if you're interested in that too!):

1. The truth about how millionaires here in NYS actually pay less %
in state and local taxes than we do

2. The truth about how the minimum wage should be at least $10/hour
to match value it had under Nixon
[see: http://www.LetJusticeRoll.org ;

3. The truth about Co. Leg. issues from inside-- resolutions Dems
passed not implemented by Steinhaus

4. The truth about how $1B could be saved on electric bills in
Dutchess in 10 yr.'s with energy efficiency

taxes than what they get in services

could save tax dollars and lives
