Every election cycle, it seems like our choices get not only worse but more limited. The two-party system consistently delivers poor candidates who resemble each other more than they differ. The reason for this is that there's no competition. Matt Kibbe sits down with Christina Tobin, founder of Free & Equal, to discuss how we can change that. As things stand, it is practically impossible for independent and third-party candidates to get any traction, because the Democrats and Republicans control the process for obtaining ballot access and appearing in debates. After the success of independent candidate Ross Perot in the 1990s, the two parties locked down the debate process, continually increasing the requirements to qualify in order to shut out competitors. Free & Equal's mission is to win back ballot access and debate exposure for candidates who seek to challenge the uniparty duopoly.

It was all but a week ago that the media and the Democratic party defended Biden's mental acuity. However, after last night's debacle during the presidential debate, they are humiliated by his lackluster performance and throwing him under the bus while scrambling for a suitable candidate. Independent presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned that President Biden's poor showing at Thursday night's CNN Presidential Debate calls into question who's really running the country. This also begs the question: Don't we have any reasonable and cogent politicians who give Americans a viable choice to vote for? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time), Clyde Lewis talks with founder of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, Christina Tobin, and, Libertarian presidential candidate, Chase Oliver, about MENTAL MASTER DEBAT'N.

How do we catalyse political and cultural shifts that can transform our world? In this episode Amisha talks to Christina Tobin, an activist and leader in the election reform and voters' rights movements.

Christina Tobin of "Free and Equal Elections" - on RichardGage911:UNLEASHED!The US “war machine” was given the biggest boost of its enormous and ugly life following the false flag events on 9/11/01. And finally, the anti-war “movement” seems to have been resurrected:At least a couple thousand rationally thinking & acting Americans flooded the Lincoln Memorial last week with some very strong messages and colorful language for the military industrial complex, the FED, and our “representatives” in Washington DC. Its about time!Hopefully its just the beginning of such an awakening. At least they, in this case sponsored by the Libertarian Party with others, accomplished something that we in the 9/11 Truth Movement have attempted but could not succeed at: getting significant numbers of people to gather and make their voices heard. Of course it was crickets in the mainstream media. But our 9/11 truth friend, Christina Tobin, was right there in the heart of it!Christina is the founder of Free & Equal Elections and the United We Stand festival. She is on top of this forbidden topic and has selectively injected the truth about 9/11 into the rising Independent political sector - including inviting us to speak on the explosive destruction of the 3 World Trade Center Skyscrapers on 9/11 at 4 of these events - with another coming up soon!Christina was intimately involved in the Wash DC event last week, with a Green Room presence alongside the great speakers:Thousands gathered in Washington DC - people from very diverse political backgrounds like we see in the 9/11 Truth Movement:DC Journalist Max Blumenthal started off the event with harsh words:“They don't want you to be here today! They do not want an anti-war rally in this town…. our veterans betrayed…”Max continues: “…This Rally has come under attack by the usual suspects in the MSM, but also by those who parade as progressive and antiwar. They say that the Right and the Left should NOT come together - that our [petty] differences must define and divide us….”The sponsoring groups behind Rage Against the War Machine developed a list of demands. Maybe next year it will include “Expose the Truth About 9/11”!List of DemandsNot One More Penny for War in UkraineThe Democrats and Republicans have armed Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars in weapons and military aid. The war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and is pushing us toward a nuclear WW3. Stop funding the war.Negotiate PeaceThe US instigated the war in Ukraine with a coup on its democratically-elected government in 2014, and then sabotaged a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine in March. Pursue an immediate ceasefire and diplomacy to end the war.Stop the War InflationThe war is accelerating inflation and increasing food, gas, and energy prices. The US blew up Russian gas pipelines to Europe, starving them of energy and deindustrializing their countries. End the war and stop increasing prices.Disband NATONATO expansion to Russia's border provoked the war in Ukraine. NATO is a warmongering relic of the Cold War. Disband it like the Warsaw Pact.Global Nuclear De-EscalationThe war in Ukraine has brought us to the edge of WW3 and nuclear war with Russia. US intelligence agencies estimate a one in four chance of nuclear war, which would plunge the world into nuclear winter and kill almost all life on Earth. Adopt a no-first-strike nuclear policy. Drawdown nuclear weapons worldwide.Slash the Pentagon BudgetHalf of the fe

Bill Fletcher Jr., longtime trade unionist, writer and a past president of TransAfrica Forum, talks to us about the parallels between the apartheid state in South Africa and the conditions that Palestinians live in both in Israel and the occupied territories, how support for apartheid in the U.S. was disguised as a fight against communism in the region, and how attitudes began to change and how people mobilized against apartheid. We also talk about what the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement can learn from the struggles against the fight against apartheid in South Africa and and how these can be applied to fight for justice for the Palestinians.Jason Dzubow, immigration attorney specializing in political asylum and appeals, and writer for The Asylumist, talks us about the complicated process of seeking asylum in the United States, whether the Biden administration will roll back the Trump administration’s clampdown on asylum seekers and what changes to policies would be possible in the future. We also talk about whether there is an urgency to tackle this issue among political circles, and the best strategies to lobby for the rights of asylum seekers. Christina Tobin, founder of Free and Equal, joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber in a conversation about elections, electoral fairness and new alternatives beyond the two-party system and how blockchain technology can help ensure a more democratic process that could bypass elite gatekeeping. We also talk about the rise in the number of new political options in the country with the Democratic Socialists of America and the Party of Socialism and Liberation recently increasing their numbers, and whether mainstream media has fairly treated the emergence of these new political alternatives.The Misfits also talk about the Department of Justice releasing part of the memo that cleared Trump of Russiagate accusations, and Florida becoming the first state to regulate how companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter moderate speech online.

Christina Tobin and Eli Beckerman join host T. J. O’Hara on Deconstructed to discuss presidential debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates (the “CPD”) has catered to establishment candidates for decades, denying the electorate of an exposure to legitimate alternative choices. As a result, we have often been given a choice between “the lesser of two evils.” Christina Tobin and Eli Beckerman and their two organizations are trying to change that. Ms. Tobin is an activist and leader in the election reform and voters’ rights movements. She is the Founder of The Free & Equal Elections Foundation, a non-profit organization with a mission to open the electoral process through education and collaborative action. Mr. Beckerman is a strategic thinker, organizer, and communications professional who has worked with the Green and Libertarian Parties as well as political independents in the past. He is the founder and director of Open the Debates, whose mission is to open the political debates of our Nation to all ballot-qualified candidates, at every level of government. Ms. Tobin’s and Mr. Beckerman’s organizations combined to offer three open presidential debates during the 2020 election cycle that attracted candidates from a wide variety of Parties. One of the debates was hosted during the primary cycle while the other two fell closer to the date of the general election. Ms. Tobin and Mr. Beckerman examine how important it is to explore serious issues from a diverse range of positions. They discuss the role that presidential debates should play versus the choreographed role the CPD orchestrates to secure the status quo for the Democrat and Republican Parties. They also talk about how their non-traditional forum has evolved over the years and what changes they see on the horizon. How will blockchain technology enter into the equation? Will cryptocurrency play a role in addressing the massive monetary advantage the CPD enjoys? Will “We the People” ever enjoy real debates rather than increasingly embarrassing debacles the CPD has offered? Listen to Deconstructed to learn how presidential debates may evolve. Hopefully, we will find a way to embrace political diversity before our Nation’s 250th birthday in 2026.

Darrell Castle talks about the recent presidential debate and explains what would happen if Joe Biden is elected President. Transcription / Notes: WHAT HAPPENS IF BIDEN WINS? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. Today is Friday the 2nd day of October in the year 2020. That's right, its October already and it seems impossible but here it is anyway. What happened to this summer and what happened to this year? The virus happened I suppose, and the government reacted to it.  Well, the Castle family is doing fine anyway. We are all healthy as far as we know and there is no virus among us.  Today I'm talking about the debate that was held last Tuesday the 29THof September. Debate is what that television show was called but it didn't fit any of the rules I have come to think of as governing civilized debate. In some ways it was like two chimpanzees screaming and throwing feces at each other. I have been involved in many debates in my life and in fact as a lawyer almost every conversation is a debate. I'm not talking about conversation though, but instead I am talking about formal, organized debate. When I was a presidential candidate in 2016, I was invited to a debate to be held on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder. It was organized by Christina Tobin of Free and Equal. I knew that with Christina involved it would be well done, and I would not be ambushed. The major parties, of course, declined to attend on the premise that to be on stage with third parties would convey some of their status to them. The candidates all stood on stage, under the lights and in front of an auditorium full of people. The moderator of the debate was Ed Asner the former star of the Mary Tyler Moore show. He played Mary's boss and father figure, Lou Grant. I expected him to be hostile to me because he did not share my views, but my hope was that I could win him over during the questioning. He was far less hostile and far more respectful to me than Chris Wallace was to Donald Trump. Wallace's performance was disgraceful and threw any results out the window. How can you decide about who won when the supposed neutral moderator is so openly biased to one side? Ed Asner was not openly biased except perhaps at first, but I won him over during the questions. How did I do that, by being better prepared on the issues than my opponents and by presenting myself as a person of calm and respectful demeanor. In other words, as a person you could picture holding the office he sought. The debate between Trump and Biden left me with a bad feeling and a little confused. I expected these men who have spent their lives in politics or business to be a little more dignified. Oh, I didn't expect the oratory of John Kennedy or the quiet dignity of Dwight Eisenhower, but perhaps I didn't expect the Hollywood clown show that I got either. It would be good to have a non-hysteric on the public stage, if not the candidates, at least the moderator. Let's return to 2016 for just a moment. In my debate the candidates were given questions to answer and the order alternated with each question. Each candidate was given a chance to respond to an opponent's answer for a given amount of time. A timekeeper kept time and signaled time's up when it was up. All candidates ignored her except me because I wanted to present someone who was respectful of the rules and the other candidates. It would probably be impossible to conduct such a fair and unbiased debate with Trump and Biden primarily because the moderator was so obviously biased. I'm guessing that Chris Wallace had instructions to keep Biden from getting cornered on any issues and from showing any signs of mental decline. If those were his instructions, he fulfilled them quite well. Trump interrupted and talked over Biden a lot I suppose because Wallace would not let him respond otherwise. Both men seemed like roosters just before the fight, strutting around and determined not to appear intimidated.

A human crisis is burning our house down, and who will we save? We’re starting to see some strange answers to this question.Dr. Dady Chery, associate professor of biology, co-editor-in-chief of News Junkie Post and author of "We Have Dared to Be Free,” joined “Political Misfits” to discuss misinformation about COVID-19, including the irresponsibility of relying on herd immunity. She also has some input on promising treatments for this virus and warnings for listeners about what COVID-19 could become if we aren’t sensible in our response.The Misfits in exile turn to when and what the US Congress might do to help Americans as the pandemic crashes across the country, and what local governments have been attempting, or ignoring. Will Americans really stand for being ordered to risk their health and their lives for the Dow?Christina Tobin, founder of Free and Equal, discusses positive potential political change could arise out of this crisis, and lessons we can learn from the past. She explained the barriers protecting the political establishment from change, but also described the coming confluence of factors that could be a springboard to meaningful reform, a more diverse political landscape and real change. Where can the energy independent candidates generate productively go? She has some ideas. Tobin also enlightened listeners on the role of technology in expanding electoral choice and participation.Raymond Caldwell, producing artistic director at Theater Alliance, and Philippa Hughs, social sculptor and creative strategist, lent their voices to the urgent and ongoing discussion of how to reimagine performing arts in this crisis. How can performing arts retain their vitality under these circumstances, and how can we support and democratize art now and in the future? How can we support arts right now, and how can arts organizations more directly serve their communities now and in the future?

Christina Tobin talks about her landmark decision against UCLA. She touched on it during her last visit but the case was still pending. She gets into how the administration; from Dean Robert Naples on down, acted in bad faith against the basic right of free speech. She also gets into the events that are coming up in the new year and where the organization has been. Since 2009, Ms. Tobin is the founder of Free and Equal Elections (https://freeandequal.org/) and has done everything from canvassing for candidates to hosting all-inclusive gubernatorial, Presidential and senatorial debates, including the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Presidential debates moderated by such luminaries as Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Chris Hedges, Broadcast Legend Larry King, Thom Hartmann of Free Speech TV, and Emmy Award Winning Actor Ed Asner.

By Christina Tobin on January 28, 2015 in Announcements, Multimedia, News, Podcasts, Press Releases Moby Christina Tobin, founder and chair of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation interviewed music legend Richard Hall, better known by his alias: Moby. Moby has sold over 20 million albums worldwide throughout his career and truly embodies the concept of using music to empower the people. Moby’s intellect and consciousness have made him a vocal representative of reform throughout many facets of government and society at large. During the interview, Moby dives into many important issues affecting modern American society, including GMO labeling, legalization of marijuana, prison reform, transparency in government, corruption in the music industry, equality, money in politics, and voting reform. “The truth is always a good thing, transparency is always a good thing.

Christina Tobin interviews Professor Griff of hip-hop legends Public Enemy before Free & Equal’s Open Colorado Gubernatorial Debate on October 8th, 2014, moderated by Griff. In the interview they discuss why musicians/artists with integrity and insight shouldn’t be shunned from speaking truth to power, how the election system is corrupted by things such as the Electoral College, the illusion of choice between major establishment political parties and candidates, and how music and activism go hand in hand with shifting the consciousness of the masses, especially the youth, to create a better world for the entire human family. Professor Griff is the author of several books, including The Psychological Covert War on Hip-Hop, about how hip-hop was once a vessel for speaking truth to power, but was subsequently and deliberately subverted by corporate America. This action brought an end to the intelligence and political prowess of groups like Public Enemy, which helped uplift and empower the minds of blacks as well as all people throughout the world; replacing them with the open display of apathy, reverence of materialism, and corporate product placement as we see with modern commercial rappers and ‘reality’ television. Chuck D of Public Enemy referred to this phenomena as the continuation of the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program, which covertly created a rift within the Black Panther movement in the 1970′s, targeted civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, and has now culturally targeted the cause of liberation by corrupting the music that helped to politically awaken so many people in the early days of hip-hop’s true form, speaking truth to power.

Christina Tobin, Founder and Chair of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation interviewed Julie Fox on November 2nd, 2014 for the Free and Equal Network. Julie Fox is a Libertarian candidate currently running for Comptroller in the State of Illinois. Julie’s professional history includes experience in the private sector serving as corporate Controller for 16 years and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in 1995. In the public sector, she served as Treasurer of the Dundee Township Library Board, member of the Libertarian Party since 1993, Fox Valley Libertarian Party Chairman, state level Treasurer, and two terms as Regional Representative for the Libertarian National Committee. The Chicago’s Daily Herald has covered Julie’s candidate profile in an article dated 10 October, 2014. The main subject of the interview was the influence of mainstream parties on third party candidates. In the ensuing conversation, both Christina and Julie exchanged vivid anecdotes of personal engagements with individuals representing the interests of mainstream parties. It is suggested that each election cycle in Illinois, there is a line by line challenge of signatures or a targeting of specific signature gatherers or notaries. Julie noted that this current election has been particularly aggressive. Armed security guards have confronted petition gatherers and voters in attempt to flex political strength and silence the voice of the people. Voters have been pressured into signing affidavits that attempt to weaken the legitimacy of the Libertarian Party of Illinois. “It shows how desperate they are. So instead of actually doing a better job representing the people, what do you do? Squash the competition. Now, there’s free and equal elections for ya, huh?” – Julie Fox Christina responds with her own history of political intimidation by mainstream parties which included the use of police and political operatives. Julie’s commentary is passionate, honest, and direct. She values the importance of free and equal elections and is a proud advocate of governmental accountability. Because of these values, Christina Tobin has extended Julie Fox her personal political endorsement. This is Christina’s first political endorsement and serves to highlight the importance of Julie’s fight against political corruption in the electoral system, which is representative of the Free and Equal movement across the nation.

Christina Tobin interviews the Colorado-based conscious hip-hop group The Soul Pros outside their concert opening up for hip-hop legend KRS-One. The interview was co-produced by We Are Change Colorado for the Free and Equal Network. The group performed at Free and Equal’s 2014 Open Colorado Gubernatorial Debate moderated by Professor Griff of Public Enemy. This interview was conducted before the debate, so they discuss their performing at the debate and the importance of bridging art and social justice. The Soul Pros support opening our elections so that all candidates have an equal voice in debates, the media, and in the electoral process. They also support political reform being part of a larger equation mixed in with non-political community actions, like how the group helps people to build community gardens, aquaponics, geodesic domes, and use non-GMO seeds, so that the abundance of food can be more plentiful in struggling communities, bringing the people closer together and able to be charitable with their food to those who are truly in need. Watch the entire Colorado Gubernatorial Debate at youtube.com/freeandequal, featuring a performance by The Soul Pros after the debate, and speeches by Dennis Kucinich (via video) and Dr. Jill Stein (2012 Green Party presidential candidate & fan of The Soul Pros) before the debate.

Christina Tobin, Founder and Chair of the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, interviewed the ice cream and social justice pioneers on the Free & Equal Network, one of the foundation’s many initiatives. The three discussed the humble origins of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream and the era of social justice Ben & Jerry grew up with in the ‘60s. They talked about some of the reasons the anti-war movement has died down since then, such as the two-party system co-opting the energy of peace movements, and the dire need to continue to grow the principled peace movement that exists right now—a movement no longer fooled by establishment politics. Ben & Jerry stated that they supported Dennis Kucinich for President, and all three contend that he is a truly honest and principled man who gave voters a real choice to end the wars. Ben & Jerry have routinely lobbied Congress to significantly reduce military spending and plan on continuing to do so. Also discussed were Ben & Jerry’s plans to support the GMO labeling initiative in Oregon this fall and their victories in states like Connecticut and Vermont. In response to questions regarding Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s parent company, has stated that their successful activism for no-strings-attached GMO labeling laws cancels out Unilever’s backing of anti-labeling efforts. Tobin agreed and encouraged people to look for the good in their noteworthy actions for social justice and to judge Ben & Jerry as individuals. Next, the three discussed how the Democratic Party serves the war machine by directing the energy of the peace movement into a dead end direction by supporting the current two-party system. Since election reform is an issue that Ben & Jerry have been fairly quiet about, Tobin felt compelled to ask them about their views on election reform, the two-party system, the Commission on Presidential Debates and more. Here’s what they had to say on voting and elections: "The idea that the Commission on Presidential Debates only allows Democrats and Republicans is a disservice to the country, and it's just another example of how the Republicans and the Democrats are running the show." - Ben Cohen "People are getting less excited about voting, whether their vote matters, if the candidates running are going to represent me. It's astounding that we can only get 50% of eligible voters out to vote, it's a statement on how people do not think the system is working." - Jerry Greenfield This interview comes at the helm of Free & Equal endorsing Gov. Gary Johnson’s lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates, which states that, since Gov. Johnson got over 15% in a scientifically conducted national poll (as per the CPD’s requirements), he was legally supposed to be included in the main presidential debates alongside Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Ben & Jerry coming out in favor of restoring integrity to elections and the media’s coverage of elections is huge!

Christina Tobin talks with Giordano Nanni and Hugo Farrant of Juice Rap News (http://thejuicemedia.com/). The Melbourne-based pair talk about their innovative way of delivering information about important political issues. Their popular video channel offers news parodies in rap conflict style. Farrant plays characters who rap their different perspectives in a rap battle. At the conclusion of each episode, a balanced synthesis is offered. The combination of entertaining satire and thorough research has made Juice Rap News a successful show worldwide. The interview with Tobin features a number of rap episodes, including one on net neutrality. Farrant and Nanni note that their success is a direct result of net neutrality, the fair chance to be heard. They—along with other alternative news outlets—have helped raised the globe’s “net consciousness” of important social justice issues. They also talk about their episode on FIFA, the World Cup organization that they dubbed THIEFA, which has drained away money from the Brazilian people, a recent (controversial to some) episode on the Israeli-Palestine conflict, criticizing U.S. involvement, and an episode, especially important to Free & Equal’s mission, on the corruption in the Commission on Presidential Debates. Juice Rap News plans to be at Free & Equal’s 2015 United We Stand Festival.

Christina Tobin talks with J Brave of the Luminaries, a hip hop group who will be performing at the United We Stand Festival at UCLA on May 10th. J Brave talks about working as a counselor for homeless youth in the Los Angeles area for eight years and how an opportunity to perform at a South Central community farm festival led to the formation of the Luminaries. Their socially conscious music promotes hemp farming, green energy, and many other causes important to Free and Equal supporters. The Luminaries have played at numerous festivals dedicated to peace and unity. J Brave talks with Christina about traveling all over the world, from the Far East to the Mid East, playing festivals and youth centers. J Brave reflects on how on the one hand there are a lot of positive actions going on, from the organic farming to going off the grid, people organizing through the Internet, with “the spectrum of love and life expanding.” On the other hand, there are a lot of negatives that the people have to overcome, but we have a lot of love “to help us get back home.” The group’s name “Luminaries” means a body or conduit that gives light or is an inspiration to others. Check out their official website luminariesmusic.com and look for their new album soon.

On March 20, 2014 Christina Tobin interviewed Paul Masvidal, guitarist and vocalist with progressive metal band Cynic, who will be performing at Free & Equal's United We Stand Festival May 10th at UCLA. Masvidal formed Cynic as a young teen in the late '80s in Florida; was recruited by the late Chuck Schuldiner to play guitar with Death in 1991; released the first Cynic record in 1993, and broke up after several years; Masvidal went on to attend UCLA, Musicians Institute; he studied jazz, worked in television and film, released an album with a folkgroup, Æon Spoke. He regrouped with Cynic in 2008, releasing four albums in five years. He talks about how important it is to have integrity and follow your heart in your work, how Frank Zappa went up against the government on music censorship, how big Pharma is keeping people sick instead of searching for cures, and how he worked with Jim Carrey on a children’s book, How Roland Rolls. Discussing the spiritual path of Cynic’s music (Paul is a Buddhist), he observes that “Everything that we think is working against us is actually a tool to help us grow.” Masvidal discusses his volunteer work with terminally ill people, helping them cope, how rewarding it is to “be of service to the planet and to your fellow humans.” Christina Tobin urges listeners to visit CynicOnline.com. “The more we support his music the more he can give back to the community.”

Independent American Rapper and urban activist Immortal Technique engages in an enlightening and provocative discussion with Free & Equal’s Christina Tobin. Immortal Technique is a headlining performer at Free & Equal's United We Stand Festival on May 10th, 2014 at UCLA. www.UnitedWeStandFest.com Born Felipe Coronel in Peru in 1978, Immortal Technique now lives in Harlem, wealthy in terms of love, community, and self-respect having kept his message real. He reminds us that although many people define “success” in terms of material wealth and control, there are a lot of people whose “idea of success is just to be free and equal." He talks about traveling to Afghanistan in 2008 and working with Omeid International (Omeid.org) to build an orphanage, school and start a medical center there and how he values the positive effects of music as much as music itself. They discuss the downside of party politics, noting that even the socially concerned wing has turned a blind eye on the drug-addicted population, who need medical and psychological treatment; they don’t need to be sold to the prison industrial complex. Immortal talks about how he is open minded about different forms of government. The problem, he says, with the two-party system is that “not everything has a yes or no answer.” People tend to like some things on one agenda, other things on another agenda, but not the whole agenda of any one group. This is why independent politics are so important—and why independent music is so important. He says that extreme agendas are inexcusable considering “the range of ideas and the range of intelligence that human beings have. We can’t be married to one political ideology.” He advocates diversity and tolerance. His message is spreading to a wider population as poverty spreads from its concentration in minority communities to the former middle class. His new album will be released some time this year by Viper Records (www.viperrecords.com). Always an honest leader who will not compromise his integrity, Immortal Technique says it straight. The most shocking thing these days about his lyrics is probably not the profanity, but the fact that now his message is directed at about forty percent of the population: “We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do. We die in wars.…We don’t get weapons contracts. We don’t get cheap labor for our companies. We are cheap labor. Turn off the news and read, read, read, read.”

Ness and Karaam of A-Alikes, who will be appearing at Free & Equal's United We Stand Festival May 10th at UCLA, talk with Christina Tobin about how they met up in college in Florida and moved to NYC in the nineties to join the hip-hop scene there. They talk about the respect that have for Chuck D of Public Enemy and how important hip-hop has been for black communities. They explain that their popular song "No Savior" is a warning against thinking Obama's getting elected is going to save black communities because, as they say, "You have to save yourself." Their music is all about "the people over the dollar." A-Alikes' new EP is "Us Against Them" and the latest single "They Watching" is about the surveillance state and plays on Rockwell's 1984 hit, "Somebody's Watching Me." Go to aalikes.net check out their music. www.UnitedWeStandFest.com This interview took place on March 3, 2014.

On December, 18, 2013, Christina Tobin interviewed Diane Goldstein, board member and spokesperson for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP). Goldstein is a retired lieutenant from Redondo Beach who believes we need to reform our criminal justice system and move our drug policy under a public health model. She talks about how critical resources for fighting crime are being diverted to the drug wars and how people struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues are not getting the help they really need. Goldstein notes that some may think that the idea of law enforcement against prohibition is something of an oxymoron, but over 5,000 current, retired, and former criminal justice professionals, from police officers and supreme court justices, are members of LEAP. Goldstein talks about how criminal justice system lobbyists tend to focus on self-serving agendas, growing the system, rather than serving the people. She also talks about how her own brother’s struggles with substance abuse helped her see that the way the drug problem is being addressed in American is not working. “If we ground our government in compassion we would be better off as a society in general.” For more information go to www.LEAP.cc

On December 24, 2013, Christina Tobin interviewed David Bronner, CEO of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a 100% organic & non-GMO company that makes the world's bestselling natural soaps, in addition to other products like coconut oil. David discusses the founding of Bronner's Soaps by his grandfather, Emanuel Bronner, and his story of escaping Nazi Germany. He discusses his grandfather's ultimate protest against the petro-chemical industry, using petroleum-based soaps and products, mixed in with many other harmful chemicals, and the impact it had not only on our bodies but our environment too. Dr. Bronner's Soaps is 100%-plant based. David Bronner has been key in getting the company certified organic, non-GMO, and Fair Trade. He even helped reform some of the many loopholes in the USDA Organic standards. Dr. Bronner's implemented the use of hemp seed oil in many of their products. He discusses his support of the legalization of cannabis and hemp, the importance of Fair Trade practices, the Fair Trade olive oil he gets from both Israel & Palestine, the need to realize the oneness of humanity in the face of a nuclear-armed world, the benefits of psychedelic medicine, his fight for GMO labeling in CA & WA (taking on the Goliath of Monsanto), leading by example using his company as a larger vehicle for good in the world, and the need for more choices in our electoral process so we can restore the free, peaceful, and harmonious society we all want. Please find Dr. Bronner's at www.DrBronner.com

During an interview on December 16, 2013, Christina Tobin talks with New York Times best-selling author, lecturer, spiritualist, activist Marianne Williamson, who has recently announced that she will be running as an Independent, seeking election to the U.S. House of Representatives, California’s Congressional District 33. According to Williamson, “The average citizen is locked out, locked out politically, locked out educationally, and locked out economically…. Looking to the political status quo to fix this situation has become absurd, because they created it, and they depend on it, and they work within it. That’s why I’m running as an Independent candidate.” She notes that the major successful social justice movements came from the people. They didn’t come from a major political party, a “calcified institutional corner that is only looking to protect its own power. That’s not where we are going to find deliverance from the problem… and so I’m running.” Get more information at http://www.marianneforcongress.com

On December 10, 2013, Christina Tobin interviewed Lee Camp, writer & comedian-turned-activist whose twice weekly webseries “Moment of Clarity” has a massive YouTube following. Infamous for having called Fox News a “Parade of Propaganda” while appearing as a guest on the network, Camp talks to Christina about the need to say what you really think about political issues. They discuss how the old rule of etiquette to avoid political issues and controversial topics is in itself an equally political stance defending the status quo. According to Camp, “We’re in dire times. We’re in the middle of something very serious going on in this world.” Camp describes his various “rants” on the NSA, “the largest surveillance infrastructure created in history,” the NDAA, third party candidates being arrested for trying to attend debates, and how he once got Chris Hedges to smile.

On December 18, 2013, Free & Equal’s Christina Tobin talked with Michael Levitin, journalist and activist, former correspondent with Newsweek, Time, LA Times, and Daily Telegraph, currently editor of Occupy Wall Street Journal and Occupy.com, a central hub of the occupy movement across the world. Levitin talks about how when he was writing for corporate media, although he was able to cover worthwhile subjects such as protests and environmental issues, he was never able to use the “appropriate vocabulary.” Working now in the alternative media, he is able to use a new language, not a corporate language, that is more appropriate for the 99%. Levitin discusses a new campaign he is working on called Fed Up 100, launching on December 23rd on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Federal Reserve. Levitin explains that the Fed issue was a foundational grievance of Occupy protests. He explains that the Fed is a private bank, not part of the Federal government. With a truly Federal central bank, we the people could create our own money debt-free. Visit http://tinyurl.com/fedup100 Levitin also speaks about the commons.occupy.com project, which is a forum for discussion allowing different people to collaborate on specific projects. He will be speaking at Free & Equal's upcoming “United We Stand” Festival at UCLA on May 10th.
