Morgan Harper said it is important to elect people to Congress who support the Green New Deal and who will work with a sense of urgency to ensure a habitable planet.

Harper said her early experiences in Columbus inspired her to run.

"I got a lot of lucky breaks here and I want to make sure that every kid no matter the circumstances of their birth gets that same opportunity, and we haven't achieved that vision yet. I've done a lot of things so far to get to the realization of that vision. But I think what we need now is bolder federal action to make sure everyone has housing, healthcare, and that we're doing something about the climate and jobs that pay enough to live."

Harper's completely grassroots-funded campaign had raised more than $550,000 at the time we spoke on Jan 22.

"We've had over 4500 individuals from all 50 states, 90 percent of the zip codes in the 3rd District have supported our campaign, and the most donations we have received from any state have been from Ohio. Our race is an indication that grassroots movenents are possible. You can run on a very progressive platform in Ohio and get traction and be successful. We're going to win on March 17."

Harper said her campaign is in every neighborhood of the 3rd Congressional District.

"We hold community events every Saturday after the week we've been canvassing in an area, to invite people we've met at their doors, to ask me questions or to meet their neighbors...We're really trying to use the campaign to also build community because that is the basis of true grassroots movements, and ultimately what makes us all happy : living together. So we're trying to facilitate that even while we're campaigning."

I asked Harper about methods for processing what voters tell her and canvassers.

We now have a Avant post-grunge/ Dark Ambient, Instrumental (Lo-fi) music show being produced by Saul Bleaeck every Wednesday night from 11pm to 11:30pm - tune in for maximum weirdness or read more at the Blaeack Mixes show page. It is followed by a shorter Future Sabotage from 11:30PM to Midnight.

We'll try to update this more in the future...

Tom Over heads out into the community to get people's opinions on current conditions on this planet we live on. From environment, social justice, changing climate, economic justice, etc--Tom records comments on it all!

Tonight on the show, we talk about a wide range of topics:
- As the Impeachment Turns - With an inevitable acquittal, does anything matter? And why an acquittal would be a "Hall of Fame" Shark Jump for this country.
- 2020 Primary - The Franklin County Dems made their Endorsements on January 23. Who got their endorsement for the coveted 3rd District Seat for U.S. Congress? Don't miss the first seven minutes.
- Megxodus - Has the Royal Family Jumped the Shark since Harry and Meghan want to live in Canada?
- Super Bowl LIV - Can the Kansas City Chiefs stop the San Francisco 49ers?
- Ohio & Michigan Basketball - Can the slumping B*ckeyes and Wolverines save their seasons?
- #OscarsSoWhite3: 18 of the 19 Acting Nominees are White

and the show closes with the sad tragic death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant (1978-2020), who was killed in a helicopter crash on January 26.

Avant post-grunge/ Dark Ambient, Instrumental (Lo-fi)
We are solo artist(s) who perform with acoustic and electric guitar adding electronic samples to create what is #BLEAECK!

...Music for expression, for mourning, for a continued existence as entropy ensues in "civilixyzation (end-game)"

Bleaeck started as a D.I.Y. prison outreach publication in August of 2015. This was in response to an international call for a Black September.

Over nearly a year some 16 micro-mailings were sent to political prisoners and prisoners of consciousness. The publication chronicled not only fictional shorts such as 'Conspiracy: Black Rainbow' [later the titular handle of Bleaeck's second mainstream release], 'Colx-Coxl' [the title of THUH's debut], anarchist-nihilixt-majik theory/philosophy, and also featured prisoners' responses.

The concept of the mailings was to create a dialogue through and across boundaries as well as endeavoring to affect cultural shift through the prison system especially with the historic national prison strike of 9-9-16.

Through that process, #BLEAECK developed as a media collective to continue to engage 'free-society.'
