This week on WHYL AM960 United for Progress talk radio airing Saturdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Rick Smith and Erin Carlin have a wonderful show lined up. Local Chairperson of the Cumberland County Democratic Committee, Gail McDermot, will talk about what is going on with Cumberland County Democrats. William Cobb of the 199th and Joe Lombardi of the 87th district will join us on our Candidates Forum to discuss their races for State Representative. Mike Lyon from Band of Brothers will speak on a gathering of democratic veterans running for office in 2006. Todd Tucker, author of the CAFTA report from Public Citizen will speak on the explosion of cash given to pro-CAFTA representatives by corporate PACs.

The 2006 elections are not as far off as you might think. Take time to get informed on candidates ideas and, for the incumbents, voting record so that when decision time rolls around voters will be prepared.

"The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men." Lyndon Baines Johnson
