John McCain Gets an Allowance

On July 21, 2008, in Liberate Your Radio from The Right, by Mary Mancini

Perhaps John McCain only gets a measly allowance from his $6 million dollar wife and that’s why he must also get one from the federal government:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain cashes his monthly Social Security checks despite calling the federal program “a disgrace,” the Associated Press reports.

“I’m receiving benefits,” McCain told campaign reporters, but added, “the system is broken.”

In 2007, he received benefits of $23,157 from Social Security, approximately $1,930 a month. The maximum monthly benefit under Social Security is $2,185. Social Security benefits are determined by age at retirement.

McCain, who is 71, has received benefits since he was 65.

Last week, McCain told observers at a town-hall meeting in Portsmouth, Ohio, “Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers … and that’s a disgrace.”

B.J. Jarrett from the Social Security Administration said that individuals can refuse retirement benefits.

In 2006, McCain’s wife Cindy earned $6 million, and has a net worth of approximately $100 million.

Who Killed Estelle Richardson?

On July 1, 2008, in Uncategorized, by Liberadio(!)

In July of 2004, Estelle Richardson, an inmate at the CCA Metro Detention Facility was found unresponsive after 4 CCA guards had forcibly removed her from a solitary confinement cell. A few hours later Estelle died. She had a fractured skull, 4 broken ribs and a damaged liver. The Davidson County Medical examiner ruled her death a homicide and her murder still remains one of Nashville’s unresolved cases.

On Monday, we interviewed prison rights activist, Denver Schimming, about the case.

Tonight, July 1st at 7:30pm, at the CCA Metro Detention Facility (5115 Harding Place,Nashville, TN 37211), there is a candlelight vigil to remember Estelle Richardson as individuals continue to seek truth and justice for her.
