This week’s Ring of Fire, hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mike Papantonio and Sam Seder: Saturdays at 3 o’clock Eastern, rebroadcasts Sunday nights at 8 pm Eastern

This week on Ring of Fire: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will be joining us to talk about the DISCLOSE Act – a piece of legislation that he has introduced that would combat the damaging effects that the Citizens United ruling has had on our democracy.

Jason Leopold from Truthout will join us to talk about the secret documents that the Department of Homeland Security has been keeping on the Occupy Movement.

Nation magazine contributing writer Ari Berman will join us to discuss how the wealthiest 1% have already hijacked this year’s election.

Lee Fang from Republic Report will talk to us about the Koch Brothers efforts to buy the 2012 election – just like they did in 2010.

Alternet contributing editor Josh Holland joins us for a discussion on the real cause of the rising price of gasoline – a cause that has nothing to do with President Obama.

And investigative journalist Brad Friedman will tell us how Republicans are using their Super PACs to help with their voter suppression efforts.
