  • Summary

  • Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog. We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.

    Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown A Seat at the Table - With guest Internationally Acclaimed Spiritual Author and Lecturer, Marianne Williamson On December 26, 2024, Marianne announced her candidacy in the election of the Democratic National Committee Chairperson. She is determined to make a difference in politics in America and within the Democratic Party, in particular. Marianne cares about poverty; international peace; an Economic Bill of Rights — including universal health care, tuition-free college and tech school, and a guaranteed living wage; the establishment of a Department of Peace and the Department of Children and Youth; the declaration of a Climate Emergency to mass mobilize for the development of a green energy grid; and ending America’s Drug War. I will discuss these and other issues with this important voice in today's political dialogue. After more than 25 years' experience with the Democratic National Committee, including working on the campaign to elect Ron Brown Chairman, we will have a lot to talk to about. Tune in and listen to this interesting and provocative discussion where Marianne explains what she's up to now. Marianne Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2024 and 2020. In 2014, Williamson ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Now she is running to be Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Marianne is a successful entrepreneur, bestselling author, political activist and globally influential spiritual thought leader. For more than three decades, she has been a leader in spiritual and progressive circles and is the author of 15 books — four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a nonprofit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS.
