THE BOTTOM LINE with Jessica English ​Sundays at 5 PM ET on Coffee Party Radio
Please join us Sunday at 5 PM for The Bottom Line. Topics will include the surprising news that the Supreme Court could revisit "Citizens United" THIS YEAR, and what We the People can do to make that happen. We'll also talk about how economic struggles impact our ability to become involved citizens. Plus the birth control culture war, and, I'll ask for your thoughts on all the news of the week. Dear listeners, Thanks to everyone who listened and called into The Bottom Line this past Sunday. My biggest fear was that I would be talking to my self for an hour-and-a-half. Also, what would I do if my brain froze? Well, I have come to expect a lot from Coffee Party devotees, and callers you did not disappoint! I was a bit nervous because it was my first time covering all of the technical aspects, but after the first ten minutes, the nerves started to fade as I was drawn in to what folks had to say. I can’t describe the feeling I had the moment the “blogtalk radio lady” opened the show and it was my mouth that was opening to greet everyone, but I can tell you how thrilling it was when the phone lines lit up. The civility of the discussion, the diversity of callers, and the breadth of ideas was at times educational, challenging, engaging and even inspiring. How wonderful to have an opportunity to share and learn the interests, experiences, and recent efforts of involved citizens from New Jersey, to D.C., to Virginia to Washington, and even certain states in between (Iowa and Minnesota). There were several topics, ideas and callers to whom we could have devoted the entire time slot, and I really didn’t want the show to end. I admittedly wasn’t watching the clock, and I was so shocked when the “blogtalk radio lady” was telling me that there was only 90 seconds remaining. I had to cut the discussion off mid-sentence, without even getting back to everyone… ack! Sorry for that. As a host, I am anxious to go back and listen to the show to learn from it, and see what I might change. Mostly, I am eager for more time together, to hear from even more voices (your voices) that are not being offered to us via the 1%. Most sincere, Jess |
