Summary: Thank a Union! This week on Talking Left, we gave you our take on some of this week's big news, and we cut loose a bit without any guests! In hour one, we talking about Mitch McConnell getting busted sucking up to the Koch brothers, and explained the FEC gridlock that's effectively giving Republicans a free pass on some creative campaign donations. We also touched on McConnell's newest opponent in Kentucky - the Libertarian police officer David Patterson. In the second hour, we finally got to the most important Constitutional Amendment of our summer series - money in politics. Although we may have frustrated a few of our listeners by saying that spending money is speech and corporations sometimes need to be "people" - we hope that you stay listening through out explanation. Also in hour two, we got in sexism and the so-called "Rape Culture," and how puritanical beliefs allow anti-women views to be perpetuated in our society. And, of course, in hour three we talked Labor Day, and the many reasons why we should thank a union on this - and every - Labor Day! Unions have helped fight for many of the rights, protections, regulations, and holidays that we often take for granted, and it's important that we keep fighting for our right to organize.
