There's an effort underway in Newton to keep Trump off the primary ballot due to insurrection. The Free Speech For People campaign joins Senator Bernie Sanders' group Our Revolution in asking election officials in each state to keep Trump off the ballot. Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin was approached with this request and he stated a criminal conviction is required so the decision lies in the hands of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Many of us were riveted Friday, watching Marjorie Traitor Greene testify at a hearing in GA as she lied her way an unending stream of "I don't remembers" and I don't recalls" as she channeled other ethically challenged Republicans before her, like Alberto Gonzalez' famous 72 denials of memory. Today, John Bonifaz of Free Speech for People, the group representing the plaintiffs in this and other cases challenging members of Congress who participated in the 1-6 insurrection, returns for a recap of what transpired Friday and what we've learned since. Then, as Russia's war against Ukraine enters its third unrelenting month, I'll speak with Christopher Blattman, professor of Global Conflict Studies at the University of Chicago and author of the new book, "Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace"

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies from public office any individual who has taken an oath to uphold the US Constitution and then engages in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or gives aid or comfort to those who have. Hmm. It seems that we have quite a few who fit that description who are again running for Congress in 2022 and perhaps another who might run for president in 24. So who's going to make sure this provision in the Constitution is followed? Today's guest is John Bonifaz. He's the co-founder and President of Free Speech for People . And yes, he's a constitutional attorney. He'll tell us of their work challenging Madison Cawthorn's, Marjorie Taylor Greene's, Paul Gosar's, Andy Biggs' and Mark Finchems's candidacies. And more! But the show got off to a weird start, as I just learned of Gilbert Gottfried's death. I know his wife, Dara, since before she and Gilbert got married. They have two beautiful children. My heart aches for them. So, I was a bit off today. Sorry about that...

On today's episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we dig in deep right away about Russia's invasion & declaration of war with Ukraine. We explain the timeline of how we ended up here, how the news media has been reporting on it as well as Putin's motivations from the start. We then switch gears and get into an absolutely riveting interview with John Bonifaz. Yes, that John Bonifaz - the man who is working tirelessly to have Madison Cawthorn disqualified from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. John is the Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People & is a constitutional attorney. The remainder of the episode, the brothers cover the news from the Manhattan DA's office (and what it may mean), Rick Scott and Senate Republicans releasing an "economic plan" that doesn't include a single proposal to lower prices for the middle class, while instead raising taxes on half of Americans – including on seniors and working families, Biden's upcoming State Of The Union & much more.

This week, Bill Moyers talks with John Bonifaz and Ben Clements of Free Speech for People about the voting rights cases they've filed this election season and how we can work to protect our democracy after Election Day.
The 2020 election is just months away and states around the nation are using outdated and vulnerable voting machines. To make matters worse, many of these machines leave no audit trail and no way for us to know that the vote we cast is the vote which was recorded. In this extended episode, John Bonifaz of Free Speech for People, Susan Greenhalgh of the National Election Defense Coalition, and election security advocate and attorney Jennifer Cohn join Alyssa Milano to discuss the threats to our election and what we can do about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Today on Sojourner Truth: Donald Trump is expected to announce his Middle East peace deal, after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has now been charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases. Our guest is Phyllis Bennis, who directs the New Internationalism Project at The Institute for Policy Studies, focusing on U.S. Middle East and war policy. Her most recent books include Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and Understanding ISIS and the New Global War On Terror. We get an update on the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Former White House national security adviser John Bolton wrote in an unpublished book manuscript that Trump refused to release military aid for Ukraine until the country provided investigative information on his political rivals. This has caused waves across Washington D.C. and in the hearing itself. Our guest is John Bonifaz, Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People. Also, the movement for a stamp to remember Bayard Rustin, the controversial civil rights leader who was sidelined, many say, because he was gay. Our guest is Lauren Buisson, the West Coast Director of the National Bayard Rustin Stamp Committee.

Ralph talks to John Bonifaz, of The Impeachment Project, where he argues that the Ukraine scandal is just the last straw in a long line of Donald Trump’s impeachable offenses. And energy expert, David Freeman joins us to talk about the necessary steps the Climate Strike movement needs to take to realize their demands. John Bonifaz is a public interest lawyer and the Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People, which in coalition with Credo Action has initiated The Impeachment Project. Mr. Bonifaz previously served as the Executive Director and then General Counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute and has been at the forefront of key voting rights battles in the country for more than two decades. In 2004, Mr. Bonifaz wrote the book Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush. “We are in this urgent moment where Donald Trump almost on a daily basis attacks our Constitution, our democracy, and the rule of law. He’s a direct and serious threat to our republic and he needs to face impeachment proceedings now.” John Bonifaz, of the The Impeachment Project David Freeman is an engineer, an attorney, and an author, who has been called an “ecopioneer” for his environmentally conscious leadership of both the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. He is also a noted anti-nuclear activist and the author of a number of books on energy policy, including Winning Our Energy Independence and his latest All Electric America. “The problem is fossil fuels.

House Democrats subpoenaed President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani Monday, seeking documents related to his work in Ukraine. Last week, Guliani admitted on television that he had urged the Ukrainian government to investigate Trump's political rival and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. This comes as House Democrats continue to build their case for impeaching the president, following a whistleblower complaint focused on a phone call in which Trump asked the Ukranian president to do him a “favor” investigating the actions of Democrats, including Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Meanwhile, Trump is continuing to threaten lawmakers who are pushing impeachment, and publicly admitted he is trying to find out the identity of the anonymous whistleblower, in possible violation of whistleblower protection laws. We host a debate on impeachment with John Bonifaz, co-founder and president of Free Speech for People, one of the organizations demanding Trump's impeachment, and Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, award-winning author and activist. The post To Impeach or Not to Impeach? Chris Hedges & John Bonifaz Debate What Congress Should Do Next appeared first on KPFA.

Donald Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to diminish, disempower and smear Rashida Tlaib. The President has been ranting and raving about the Democratic congresswoman from Michigan since she took office earlier this year. He has lied about her. He has misconstrued and mischaracterized her statements and actions. And, now, the president has intervened to prevent Tlaib--along with Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar-- from making an official visit to Israel and the West Bank. Under pressure from Trump, the Israeli government announced last week that it was barring the two congresswomen. Tlaib has pushed back mightily, declaring, as the first the daughter of Palestinian immigrants and one of the first two Muslim women ever to serve in the U.S. House that, "When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions." And so she has. Amidst all the wrangling with Trump, Americans have learned a little bit abou Rashida Tlaib--about her family ties to the West Bank, about her Palestinian grandmother. But there is so much more to this lawyer, legislator, civil rights and civil liberties activist, mother and daughter. This special edition of Next Left repeats our interview with Rashida Tlaib because we thought people should have an opportunity to get to know her better. ******** SHOW NOTES This is A New Low (https://www.thenation.com/article/trump-tlaib-omar-israel/) The Nation John Nichols What Is Israel Trying to Hide?

This week on Next Left, the outspoken representative who is holding Trump accountable. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is a veteran defender of civil rights and civil liberties with big ideas about how to serve her constituents in the Detroit area, usher in a new era of economic and social and racial justice in the United States and promote peace and cooperation on the global stage. Unfortunately, since she arrived in Washington, she’s been targeted by Republican members of Congress, right-wing media and even the president; they’ve crudely and dishonestly attacked Tlaib, seeking to marginalize the first Palestinian-American Muslim women ever to serve in the U.S. House. We talk with Rashida Tlaib about her political roots, her ideas and her determination to hold the president of the United States to account — using the impeachment powers accorded the House in the United States Constitution.

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
Corporate Power and the Sliming of American Democracy. Some say the modern environmental movement was born in an oil spill in April 1970. Enraged by the first television images of the massive crude oil spill off the pristine Santa Barbara coast, 20 million Americans took to the streets chanting with one voice: Protect Mother Earth. Constitutional attorneys Jeff Clements and John Bonifaz join with biologist and democracy advocate Dr. Riki Ott to explore new strategies to overcome the relentless fight put up by big oil and big business. Could it mean a 28th Amendment to the Constitution?
Citizens United is perhaps the most-criticized Supreme Court decision in recent memory. But what's all the fuss about? We'll speak with two leading critics of Citizens United, John Bonifaz and Ron Fein of Free Speech for People, who began their efforts to overturn the decision on the very day it was announced. Please note: this episode was originally broadcast as part of the WETS fall fundraiser in 2014, so you'll hear a reference or two to donations. The episode is also a bit shorter than most, since several fundraising announcements have been removed from the podcast version. But never fear: you can always donate at www.wets.org.
Director and Co-Founder of Free Speech For People John Bonifaz joins Radio Free Dylan today to discuss his organization's mission of overturning the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling.
