Morality Hijacked! What to do? Tune in for ideas with philosopher Susan Neiman, author of Moral Clarity: A Guide for Grown-Up Idealists. And, in honor of the 100th anniversary of suffrage in Oregon, we travel back to a time when the biggest outrage in US was a women's right to vote. See: centuryofaction.org/.

Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with Janice Thompson, executive director of Common Cause, Oregon, about money in politics.

In the landmark 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment prohibits government from placing limits on independent spending for political purposes by corporations and unions. What have been the effects of this ruling? How is its influence being felt in campaign spending in state and national elections? What will the future effects be? Can Citizens United be overturned?

Janice Thompson is executive director of Common Cause Oregon, which she joined in 2009 after leading the Money in Politics Research Action Project and Democracy Reform Oregon.

Reggae Bob is back with a Membership Drive Special on Robert Nesta Marley, OM. Better known as Bob Marley, the renowned Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. Reggae Bob will be playing rare interviews and performances, and talking about the effect that Bob had all over the world, his relationship with Mama Africa, his relationships with women, his children, and the foundations that they have built.

Bob Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience. Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica.

A Fun Treat Coming Your Way....

...provided you're an Early-Bird! On Monday, February 6, from 6am to 7am, I will have Dan Weber, local singer-songwriter, on my Folk Espresso show.  Dan's a fellow you just wanna have in your circle of friends: engaging, talented, smiley, loquacious, and generous. He's young, he's energetic, and he's making a name for himself with his music. My guess is he'll go places (and I'm talkin' bigger than biker dive bars in East Peoria). You might wanna come along for the ride.

Put this little special on your calendar. Heck, program KBOO permanently into your radio....!
