In Deep guest Mark McCaffrey quoted in NY Times piece on Climate Change leak

Posted February 15, 2012 - 22:18 by Gordon Whiting

Leaked docs from The Heartland Institute demonstrate a straight-out campaign to undermine the teaching of climate science in the public schools. At the end of the (fascinating) article, Mark McCaffrey, programs and policy director for the National Center for Science Education, said the Heartland documents revealed that “they continue to promote confusion, doubt and debate where there really is none.” Read the full story.

Want To Do Something About ALEC? 6 Suggestions For Activism That Match Your Personality

Posted February 10, 2012 - 19:17 by spocko

What if you are so outraged at ALEC's hidden activities with corporate lobbyists that a simple call, click or letter though the usual channels isn't enough? I've got some ideas for you.

One thing I've found in my years on your planet is to recognize people's unique talents when you ask them to help you. I'm a communications guy with an understanding of media, technology and corporations so I use those skills for the causes I support. But there are lots of different activist methods for people with unique skills they can use to fight the right.  So let's match some skill sets and interests to ways you can get involved.

SGK: "You Showed Your Ass. Now You Can Kiss Mine."

I'm agape as I sit here. I've just watched one of the bravest, frankest, most amazing women I've ever encountered. Take four minutes and see what she's got to say.

The Susan G. Komen foundation wanted very badly to pick and choose whom to listen to and heed. I dare them to ignore Linda:

"Do you see politics on my chest? Do you see Republican, Democrat, Tea Party or Independent anywhere on my chest? I don't! Do you see religion on my chest? Do you see Christian? Do you see Catholic? Do you see Jewish? Do you see Hindu? Do you see Muslim, or any other of the many hundreds of religions out there? Do you see any beliefs on my chest? No. Do you see moral values on my chest or what you believe to be our moral values? No - that's not cancer at all! It's not on my chest, and that's not IT."

Linda. Linda!! THANK YOU.

Please share this widely.

New Rules for Radicals in a Post-Occupy World

Posted February 8, 2012 - 15:16 by Angie

An excellent read from Sara Robinson on Alternet.

Among its other virtues, her post honestly captures our laudable strengths while gently calling out our weaknesses ("Celebrate every win, no matter how small. Every one matters: We may be the world’s worst winners. We can get 75 percent of what we want, and spend the next three days whining about the 25 percent we didn’t get.") C'mon, you know you do that.

I won't delay you any longer - get on over there, give it a good read, then pass it on to your compatriots.

Welcome Home to IN DEEP/LFTLC!

Posted February 7, 2012 - 14:10 by Angie

I am beyond thrilled to be back on the air, and to see our wonderful, loyal supporters checking in here and in our email inboxes.

Thanks for keeping in touch over the past year, and for your ongoing interest in our mission.

IN DEEP is a rewarding addition to the LFTLC brand. Let me lift the curtain on the backstage area to reveal that it's our beloved Laffy - GottaLaff - that put us and the founders of WeAct Radio together, and urged us back on the air. IN DEEP would be non-existent without her. Please keep the feedback coming, whether you're championing a cause, chiding us, suggesting a topic, tossing us kudos - it's all welcome.

Meanwhile, the whole gang here is working hard to bring you productive, intelligent, progressive radio. Welcome home, and thank you.
