Clout! With Richard Greene

This past April, Air America Radio debuted an intense, magazine style two-hour weekly radio program that is designed to leverage the political clout of the growing progressive movement and, most importantly, the Air America audience.

Host Richard Greene is familiar to Air America listeners as creator of “50 Reasons to Elect A Democratic Congress”/ “Take Back The Congress,” an on-air campaign (co-sponsored by People For The American Way.) From mid-October – Election Day, November 7, 2006, the campaign empowered the audience to demonstrate unprecedented “Political Clout”, infusing the closest Senate and House races with $232,000 in last minute funds in three weeks’ time.

“Political Clout With Richard Greene” will feature the leading figures on the front lines of today’s political and cultural battles. Each week, you’ll hear Democratic leadership updates from Senator Harry Reid, Rep. Henry Waxman or others; exclusive investigative reports from Greg Palast and Project Censored; a replay of special comments from Keith Olbermann, and passionate “Celebrities with a Cause”. Plus a weekly focus on how Air America listeners can demonstrate their clout on campaign finance reform, election protection and other key issues to our country.

“Political Clout With Richard Greene” is a fast-paced, entertaining two hours of “Must Listen Radio” for anyone interested in politics – the perfect summary of the past week, the perfect pep rally for the week ahead.
