Talk Nation Radio: Carl Gibson on Shutting Down the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Carl Gibson is currently engaged in a Green Jobs March from Philadelphia to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., as part of a campaign calledShutTheChamber.org.  You can join the march virtually by uploading a photo on their website, or you can join in reality at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce across from the White House at 10 a.m. Friday, May 24th.  Gibson is lead organizer of ShutTheChamber and cofounder of USUncut.  He discusses the damage the U.S. Chamber does to our political system pushing environmental destruction, wars, and the plutocratic concentration of wealth.  Gibson says that small businesses paying dues to local chambers that themselves have little in common with the U.S. Chamber end up funding assaults on small businesses, as the local chambers fund the state chambers which fund the U.S. Chamber -- an institution that also serves to funnel vast quantities of unaccountable corporate money into politics.

Occupy Your Mind
 Air Occupy 
an independent media experiment in free speech... 
 
Air Occupy broadcasts LIVE every Tuesday at 11 am ET onwww.GoliathRadio.com 

On Air Occupy on Tuesday, May 21, we will be looking at "ag-gag" laws with Paul Shapiro, Vice President, Farm Animal Protection, with the Humane Society of the United States. The Humane Society has been at the forefront of publicizing and fighting these bills.  See more in its Factory Farming Fact Sheet.  

Ag-gag laws target whistleblowers - animal welfare activists who take undercover videos, photographs, and sound recordings at factory farms.  These laws have been criticized for violating the 1st Amendment, allowing animal cruelty to continue, and endangering the public's health by silencing persons who might expose problems with food safety.  The American Legislative Exchange Council wrote the model bill that has now been introduced in many states.  In Tennessee, the bill passed the legislature this year, but 
Governor Bill Haslam (R) has stated that he plans to veto it

We will also be talking about the March Against Monsanto taking place May 25 all over the world.  Join us and join the discussion by tweeting, emailing, or posting  questions or comments before or during the show: email, tweet @AirOccupy, or post on our Facebook page!

On next week's show on May 28, we will continue our focus on whistleblowers with Alexa O'Brien, independent journalist and primary source for reporting on the court martial of Pfc. Bradley Manning

As always, thank you for your support! 

Peace,

Liz, Jerry, and Shannon

In today's world of corporate self-interest, activists and watchdogs are silenced by corporate-written laws produced by corporate-backed State Houses. This week on Occupy Radio we look at laws passed solely to benefit the people who write the checks.
Will Potter, author of "Green is the New Red", talks about "Ag-Gag" laws and other ways that industry keeps consumers from knowing what it is we are buying. 
Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defense Center talks about the perils of activists and landowners who stand in the path of economic "progress".
