"Dear Democrats" radio episode

Title

"Dear Democrats" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin, in which he discusses the elections of 2002, criticizing the Democrats for being too moderate and "milquetoast." He argues for the party "to return to its roots" by advocating for "the average family's right to privacy, a clean environment, good schools, affordable health care, and protection from both corporate greed at home and wreckless wars abroad." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in fall 2002.
