Join us on WYCB- 1340 AM on Fridays at 6 p.m.
"Let's Talk Politics":
Again, I know it's been awhile and I am testing a new post. In the last month, I have teamed up with motivational speaker Lyndia Grant who now has a show on WYCB-1340AM, MySpirtDC.com to contribute a brief segment, "Let's Talk Politics with Adrienne Washington." Her name;not mine. The show airs from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Fridays with my 5-minute segments airing around 6:20 p.m. Give us a listen.!
One of the main concerns I discuss is the new voter ID laws in a lot of states which some, such as the National Urban League and the NAACP contend are voter suppression tactics, pushed by Republicans, to thwart minority voters. US Attorney General Eric Holder has even called the voters ID laws a modern day form of "poll taxes," which were imposed during Reconstruction to deter black voters. In any case, I have been telling our WYCB listeners to make sure they check their voter registration status so they will not be surprised come time to cast their ballots in November.
