Hi all,
Thought you’d be interested in a few of this week’s radio shows. We’ve been doing an “On the Record” series where we get past the soundbites and rhetoric of the presidential hopefuls and instead focus on their voting records and campaign contributions. I’ll post more on that later…
Here’s what’s coming up…

Before the Spanish began colonizing California in 1769, more than 300,000 Indians representing over 100 tribes lived here. Following the European people’s arrival to California, diseases, massacre, and other factors brought the Native population down to 25,000.
