An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on President Bush's proposal to cut overtime pay admist a period of high unemployment. AuCoin brings attention to a study done by the Economic Policy Institute, which asserts that the administration's proposal will immediately disqualify millions of eligible workers from overtime pay. AuCoin states that this proposal will lead to Americans receiving less pay for the same amount of work.

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 aired in 2003.
