“As Minnesota Progressive Project celebrates its second anniversary, the Democratic Visions team hails MPP’s service to progressive thought, comment and action. Many, many thanks.”

Well, thank YOU, Jeff!

IMNSHO, Democratic Visions has become the best locally-produced political television talk show in Minnesota – due to the power of dedicated volunteers and the progressive movement. Democratic Visions is a once-a-month program and a production of DFL Senate District 42 (Eden Prairie & MInnetonka). It’s filmed at Comcast’s Southwest Community Television studio in Eden Prairie.

Joe Bodell and I (MPP) and The Cucking Stool’s Steve Timmer are featured on the current edition of Democratic Visions. Producer Jeff Strate and the Dem Vis crew make us look great on large flat screen TVs. (disclaimer-I’m the deisgnated go-fer “an associate producer”). This edition will only be re-broadcast for another 3 or 4 times before the holidays begin. Check Democratic Visions out on cable TV at the following times and channels:

Comcast Channel 15 – Hopkins, Minnetonka, Edina, Richfield and Eden Prairie Sundays at 9 p.m. and Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.

Bloomington Cable Channel 16 – on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m.

MTN Channel 17- Minneapolis Sundays at 7 p.m.

Democratic Visions can be seen 24/7 on its YouTube Cnannel at http://www.youtube.com/user/DemocraticVisions.

The Bloomington Cable Channel 16 is today at 2:00 p.m., and then the rotation is on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. For Minneapolitans, the show airs on MTN Channel 17 on Sundays at 7 p.m.

The full show features former gubernatorial candidate Margaret Anderson Kelliher and national TV legend/current AM 950 KTNF radio host Nancy Nelson.

Without further ado, here’s the sneak preview of me, the ol’ TwoPutter – let’s look!

With the DFL State Convention in Duluth only a week away, I’d like to remind our gentle readers about“Democratic Visions” and some of the guest we’ve had on; many of which will be in Duluth. The program airs in Hopkins, Minnetonka, Edina, Richfield and Eden Prairie on Sundays at 9:00 pm and Wednesdays at 5:30 pm on Channel 15; I’m the Assistant to the Ass’t Caddy Master, and Chief Range Ball Picker Executive Producer.

We’ve had many of the Gubernatorial Candidates on the show; from Steve Kelley to Tom Rukavina and RT Rybak and Matt Entenza and Mark Dayton and John Marty here and here and Paul Thissen. We’ve asked them all; for some, scheduling just never permitted.

For a preview of the next Democratic Visions – due to premier this Sunday – featuring Senator John Marty (again!), link here.

So as people consider who to support for Governor, especially the 45% (+/-) of Uncommitted Delegates, take a look at ALL of the candidates above. The quick link to Democratic Visions is here.

As Senate District Conventions are over, and we head into Congressional District Conventions, followed by the DFL State Convention, I thought this would be a good opportunity to remind readers of the Cable Access TV program produced by volunteers in DFL SD-42, “Democratic Visions”. The program airs in Hopkins, Minnetonka, Edina, Richfield and Eden Prairie on Sundays at 9:00 pm and Wednesdays at 5:30 pm on Channel 15; I’m the Assistant to the Ass’t Caddy Master, and Chief Range Ball Picker Executive Producer.

We’ve had some great guests on the show, from Minnetonka Council Member Amber Greves to Senator Al Franken (and, Franni, too!). A particularly riveting guest was State Public Defender John Stuart, discussing the challenges confronting Minnesota’s court system prompted by cuts to the number of public defenders; another segment honored the 10th anniversary of the death of state legislator Willard Munger, Minnesota’s “Mr. Environment.”

And we’ve had many of the Gubernatorial Candidates on the show; from Steve Kelley to Tom Rukavina and RT Rybak and Matt Entenza and Mark Dayton and John Marty here and here and Paul Thissen. We’ve asked them all; for some, scheduling just never permitted.

So as people consider who to support for Governor, especially the 45% (+/-) of Uncommitted Delegates, take a look at ALL of the candidates above. The quick link to Democratic Visions is here.

The new show starts tomorrow; it features State Auditor Rebecca Otto, Minnetonka City Council Member James Hiller, and yours truly, the ol’ TwoPutter. YouTubes of that new show are below the fold; let’s look!!!

“Democratic Visions” – watch it!

(originally published at MnProgressiveProject.com)

Each of July’s segments are also posted on our Democratic Visions YouTube Channel. The Al Franken segment is a shortened version of a video Jeff Strate produced last year but now includes exclusive footage of Al’s victory rally on July 1 in St. Paul. That footage was lensed by yours truly, the ol’ TwoPutter.

First up, below the fold, is the Steve Kelley segment, followed by Minnetonka Council Member Amber Greves’ segment, with Jeff’s Al Franken segment finishing out the show.

It’s a good show – so watch tonight if you can, or go get some popcorn and watch right now!
