Hundreds Oppose Drilling in Loyalsock State Forest at Public Meeting [VIDEO]

This is a video from my new Internet newscast, the only grassroots progressive media show exclusively about Pennsylvania politics, Counterpoint PA.

In this video, I talk about the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources being pressured to finally host a public meeting about its negotiations with two fracking companies to start drilling for natural gas in the Loyalsock State Forest and show video from the meeting, where over 400 people showed up and every member of the public that made a statement was either opposed to or worried by the potential drilling.

Max Myers: Democratic Candidate for PA Governor on Progressive Issues [VIDEO]

This is a video from my new Internet newscast, the only grassroots progressive media show exclusively about Pennsylvania politics, Counterpoint PA.

In this video, I list the positions of Democratic PA gubernatorial candidate Max Myers on key progressive issues in areas including education, ObamaCare in PA, abortion, union rights, fracking, marijuana, and genetically engineered foods. I got to question Max personally and pinned him down on a number of issues not addressed on his official campaign website. I analyze how progressive his positions are as I go along, and also rant a tiny bit about the importance of primary elections.
