It amazes me how much can happen in just a few days.

More Chinese recalls because of poisonous Melamine in the food.

The death of a child resulted in other Chinese Made product being recalled.

There is other important health news which you must listen in to.

We have news on the ecconomy and how to shop buying quality instead of cheap throwaway quantity and so much more.

We must look at the news in a way the old main stream media does not.

Are you protectionist? Meaning do you support Buying American and supporting your fellow Americans over foreign entities?

Listen in tonight!

Until tonight.

New License Rules Mean Longer Waits At DMV
http://www.wmtw.com/news/17760560/detail.html

The name of the show is Live Free Radio, but many ask me if we are really Living Free.

It is a question that at times I have had a hard time answering. But it is possible to fight our legislators to retain and get back our lost liberties while living free.

Today, I will be discussing what it means to truly live free. I hope you will tune in today.
