Principles and Policies Podcast for 7/27/2013- How You Know You’re Winning The Argument

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday July 27, 2013. Chuck Michaelis and Barry Sheets interview Ricki Pepin, a Christian, a home school mother, a grandmother, and a VERY active teacher of the US Constitution. Ricki is getting a first-hand lesson on how progressives react when you begin to make inroads into educating citizens about how the Constitution REALLY works and what it REALLY says. The result is usually a wild-eyed smear campaign and that  is exactly what Ricki is experiencing in the Dayton-Springfield OH area.
