This week on Ring of Fire:  blogger and author David DeGraw will be joining us to talk about the big money special interests that are threatening to destroy our democracy.

We’ll also hear from author Cliff Schecter about how American voters – even the most conservative ones – will support Democrats when Republicans threaten to cut off their Social Security and Medicare.

We’ll also be talking with attorney and author Joe Burns about why American workers need strong union protection today more than ever.
