Summary: Michael Moore On America's DNA Of Violence
And What Is To Be Done

Michael Moore, recalling his film Bowling for Columbine, while advocating for the release of Native America leader, and artist Leonard Peltier, now falsely imprisoned for 37 years, and in the wake of the latest horrific gun violence seeks to understand what he refers to as the
"DNA of violence rooted in American history".
********************
Preventing The 99% From Being Thrown Over The Austerity Cliff In the Fiscal Showdown
with
Robert Borosage, Co-Dir., Campaign for America's Future

With politicians demanding cuts in public benefits Robert Borosage counsels against buying into the "fiscal cliff" fraud. Borosage says, the problem is not deficits; it is "the lack of a foundation for
sustainable growth that includes working people. Without a political movement to achieve the latter, very little progress will be made on the former." We must counter the spin and show how we can turn the conversation about debt and deficits to what really matters: putting
people back to work, protecting the economically vulnerable and ending giveaways to the wealthy
