Counterpoint PA's JournalMarijuana Smokers Arrested for Civil Disobedience; Syrians & Grannies Protest War [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In Activism in Action, a lightning-round update on the latest progressive protests around the Pennsylvania, I talk about a marijuana legalization protest in Philadelphia that culminated in some protesters being arrested for smoking marijuana in an act of civil disobedience (including a video clip of the arrests), and two unique groups that came out a few weeks ago to protest what then looked like America's imminent bombing of Syria: a group of Syrian-Pennsylvanians and the Granny Peace Brigade.

Risky Wall Street Swaps Costing PA Millions, PA Senate Considers Ban [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, I discuss a proposal in the PA Senate to ban local governments and school districts from making risky Wall Street swaps deals; including a hearing about the bill where former state Auditor General Jack Wagner (D) said these kinds of swaps have cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars and the strident support of progressive state Senator Rob Teplitz (D) in favor of the proposed ban.

Right-Wing Blog Pushes Private Schools Over Scandal, but Public Schools are More Accountable [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this edition of Counterpoint PA's homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week, I take on Capitolwire's bureau chief who attacked Keystone Progress' report revealing that PA Independent is funded by a far-right group actively trying to manipulate state news without trying to disprove any facts in the report, a right-wing blogger who suggested that one public school's financial scandal means PA needs more private cyber and charter schools even though private schools are less accountable than public schools (as proven by another story I share to make the point), and four Republican US Congressmen from PA who sponsored a bill with "Saving the Environment" in its title that would kill new coal plant mercury and air toxics regulations from the Environment Protection Agency.
