focus the nation
IS ANYONE INVOLVED WITH CURRENT PRODUCING A POD ABOUT FOCUS THE NATION?
As just a humble Senior at Mount Holyoke College and advocate of active participant in society. I wanted to inform. There is an event "Focus the Nation" happening nation- wide on January 31. This movement needs Current TV on its side. I think there is trove of possibilities in conglomeration here! Focus the Nation would be really amped up if it had a little more than local news, and "my space" to broadcast. I think that Current TV and Focus The Nation needed to be properly introduced. And that ya'll organizers and producers should be engaged somehow.
This is what its all about: focusthenation.org IS ANYONE INVOLVED WITH CURRENT PRODUCING A POD ABOUT FOCUS THE NATION? ... more
