Lavern Spicer is a driven patriot running for Congress. She runs a foodbank and sees firsthand the heartless elected officials that do nothing to help the needy. Her organizations help the needy and she's counting on Democrats to cross party lines to vote for her. Her public service is lifelong. Moving into Congress is merely an extension of what she's doing now. She's “in the trenches”, knocking on doors, in the “hood” and suburban areas, no difference. She's everywhere. She wants Republicans doing a better job getting people registered to vote. She points out that the Democrat Party was the home base for the KKK, not Republicans and Blacks need to know that. Lavern's ‘grass roots' approach is how she distinguishes herself from the competition. Lavern's key issues: a) Close the border immediately, b) Get rid of individuals that are not citizens, c) Change Congress. Get rid of Cory Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, AOC and others. “Government is good at providing incentives but they should not be in the business of ‘handing out' money, like the “PPP Loans”. “Where are the billions of dollars that went to Ukraine?,” she said adding, “Republicans need to start supporting other Republicans.” Lavern calls out “RINO's”.Exclusive Interview with Lavern Spicer ~ U.S. Congressional Candidate ~ Straight Talk-America FirstOriginally Recorded on January 31, 2024Season 2, Episode 231Learn More at: GeneValentino.comImage(s) Courtesy of: Gene Valentino Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981 More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/ More Broadcasts with Gene as the Guest: https://genevalentino.com/america-beyond-the-noise/ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/

Democrats and Republicans are electing new leaders for their parties in the U.S. House and Senate, as a new era begins with the replacement of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. How much did Pelosi change Congress? How are new leaders likely to corral their factions and set a new tone? Matthew Green finds that many of the dynamics of party factions and leadership elections remain consistent, but there are novel situations, including the simultaneous transition of three top House Democratic leaders and demands for caucus rules changes in the Speaker election. We also evaluate this congress and anticipate divided government.

In this episode with Larry Lessig, we talk about law and context. Larry shares with us the two phases of his work: intellectual property and its impact on culture, and then his focus on political reform with Change Congress, Mayday PAC, Rootstrikers and his presidential campaign. We dive into Larry's book, Fidelity and Constraint, and how it can help lawyers think about how the Supreme Court decides cases. Lastly, we ask Larry about his fairy novel style of doing slideshow presentations.

Change-Congress; President Trump-G7 Summit.

State Rep. Liz Linehan, D-Cheshire, joins the Morning Record to express frustration about details that continue to emerge about how U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5th, handled complaints against a former chief of staff. Linehan also said that she believes Esty should resign. Esty has so far said that she won't, and Linehan said Esty should then use her remaining months to change the culture of Congress. Credit www.bensound.com/ for the music.

Lawrence Lessig, a professor at Stanford Law School, is a leading thinker on technology and Internet policy. He is the founder of Creative Commons and author of "Code, The Future of Ideas, and Free Culture." You can learn more at http://change-congress.org Change Congress is a movement to build support for basic reform in how our government functions. Using our tools, both candidates and citizens can pledge their support for basic changes to reduce the distorting influence of money in Washington. Our community will link candidates committed to a reform with volunteers and contributors who support it. Our Principles Change Congress is a national movement to end corruption in America's congress. We're organizing citizens to push candidates to make four simple commitments: 1. No money from lobbyists or PACs Congresspeople should be beholden to citizens, not special interests. By committing not to accept money from lobbyists or PACs, candidates give us confidence that their votes won't be swayed by big money. This pledge was most prominently advanced by Senator Edwards in his Presidential campaign. To read more, click here. 2. Vote to end earmarks. Earmarks allow congresspeople to explicitly decide who should get the money our government spends. Because of the earmark economy, money that is supposed to go to our schools, our soldiers, and our citizens is instead diverted to political donors and pork-barrel projects like the "Bridge to Nowhere". We can't clean up Congress until we end this blatant system of corruption. Republicans have recently pushed prominently for changes such as these. A pledge to support ending earmarks means a Member will vote for proposals that will permanently abolish earmarks. Importantly, it does not mean that while the system of earmarks remains, the Member will choose to forego earmarks for his or her district. Until the system is changed, that choice is left up to the Member. 3. Support reform to increase Congressional transparency Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and we would all benefit from a cleaner Congress if more of its proceedings, and the proceedings of its members, were public. This pledge calls for changes in the law and rules of Congress to get all members to be more public about meetings and contacts, including changing the rules so lawmakers post weekly updates of their campaign contributions, meetings with registered lobbyists, their latest earmark requests, and significant changes in their personal wealth. ` 4. Support publicly-financed campaigns. It's not enough to just push particular candidates to stay out of the system of corruption; we have to reform the system itself. Publicly- financed campaigns will stop the cycle of campaign finance reform loopholes and ensure that big money stays out of Congress forever. Public financing has been supported by both Republicans and Democrats.
