Re: God's Yes. We can Dvorak challenge begins live on Wed Jan 19th 2011

Time to put up or shut up.  I have a radio interview tomorrow with Louie Free: Brainfood for the Heartland.  We will be discussing many of the issues that are not proper to be discussed in this group but moreover I will be launching the Yes. We can Dvorak campaign publicly on the show tomorrow morning Wed Jan 19th at 11:00AM EST.  You can listen to the show on the Internet at http://LouieFreeShow.com
