Welcome to Radioactivity. I’m Rob Lorei. Coming up, we’ll talk with a spokesperson for the AFL-CIO about the employee free choice act being considered in congress and efforts here in Florida to undermine it.

Later we’ll look at the U.S. military budget and protests planned tomorrow - tax day against military spending.

But first: several listener comments. The first came in on Saturday- making the claim that WMNF has supported the military build-up in Afghanistan. Most of the rest of the calls came in after last Thursday’s interview with Kevin Phillips, author of bad money. Several of the callers to that program had expressed cynicism about getting involved in the political process.
