Listen

Description

No guest today.  Instead, we have the first two parts about Participatory Democracy, exploring the details of how you, personally can run for public office.  Part 1 is all about how to get your name on the ballot.  Part Two is about attracting and keeping volunteers.

Listener question is if you personally are better off than you were three and a half years ago or worse off?  And why.

The rant is a goodie: It’s all about the worldwide response to the corona virus.

Featured Toastmaster Narrator is Christopher Hulse

Featured Toastmaster Cohort is Distinguished Toastmaster Art Farnsworth
