The Advocates with Richard J. Garfunkel on WVOX – AM Radio 1460-

Thursday morning September 6th, at 9:00 am, I am hosting my show “The Advocates” on WVOX- 1460 AM on your dial, or you can listen to its live streaming at www.wvox.com.  One can call the show at 914-636-0110 to reach us on the radio. The program this week will have as its guest, Ms. Allegra Dengler. Ms. Dengler is the Chair of the Westchester-based Citizens for Voting Integrity, a former Dobbs Ferry Village Trustee, a member of the Sierra Club Election Protection Task Force, a member of the NY Democratic Lawyers Council HAVA Committee (Help America Vote Act) and the Progressive Democrats of America Election Protection Working Group. She was a candidate for the Greenburgh Town Board in 2005, and is a candidate for Village Mayor of Dobbs Ferry this November.  This week’s subject will be “Addressing the Threat to our Free Elections, and the Impact of Non-verifiable Voting Machines.”

Meanwhile the mission of the “Advocates” is to bring to the public differing views on current “public policy “ issues. “Public policy,” therefore, is what we as a nation legally and traditionally follow. Over the years the “public policy” of the United States has changed or has been modified greatly. As an example, “free public education” is the public policy of the United States. Also, over time great struggles have ensued over the control of the direction of “public policy” For example: free trade vs. protectionism, slavery vs. emancipation, state’s rights vs. Federalism, and an all-volunteer armed forces or the “draft.”
