Press [1] for Democracy (P1FD) is a Coffee Party Radio show that discusses the political issues of the day in a civil, fact-based, and transpartisan manner. Transpartisan is quite different from bi- or non-partisan in the we encourage callers to be passionate about their positions, but also that they listen and respond to those with differing points of view repsectfully and with a true desire to find common ground on which solutions can be built. Tonight on P1FD . . . Although he passed away earlier this year, Tony Benn dedicated nearly half a centrury fighting for the common man as a leading figure of the Labour Party in Great Britain's Parliment. We'll review his philosphies, arguments, and listen to a few of the epic speeches he gave decrying the corportocracy that rules today in Great Britain just as it does here. And then we'll ask, where is America's Tony Benn.
