Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

In a defining moment in his political career, President Clinton announced yesterday he will sign the GOP measure that ends welfare as we know it. The bill easily passed in the House yesterday and goes to the Senate today. President Clinton criticized some aspects of the bill, but called it “a real step forward for our country, our values and for people on welfare.” Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole tried to claim the credit, saying that the “first 100 days of the Dole administration have begun 97 days before the election.” Many advocates for the poor agree. Guests join us now to explain what this welfare reform means.
