Call IN!

That's right among other shameful plans, I want you to call me on air to talk, to discus,to be, and to balance our wants and needs vs the realities in which we live.

look for times and the number here when we launch the process.

This will be a one man, one line show, heck we may even want you as a guest.

USA will be tool free.
