D&D - Apr 1, 2009

The guys seemed to (mostly) step back from yesterday's pseudo-partisan positions on Obama's steps towards auto recovery. Instead, they ran with a great idea from Jim O'Brien -- letting people from this area put their faces along with the numbers we read in the paper everyday. 12% unemployment, 47,000 laid off, 91,000 UAW workers offered buyouts and/or forced to take concessions, $69.6 billion lost during the last two years. Read (and listen to) more about this project, as well as other topics from today's show, below, thanks to WCSX.com:

1. FACES NOT NUMBERS (info) - We want to let the people in Washington D.C. know that when they talk about making decisions regarding the auto industry...it’s more than just numbers...it’s REAL PEOPLE who are going to be impacted by these decisions. We’re going to put together a banner with pictures of all the men, women and children who are impacted by the auto industry (workers, suppliers, retirees, restaurants, etc.) [You can] email [D&D] your picture or mail it to:

3. PICTURES CAMPAIGN (podcast) - D&D Producer Jim O’Brien has an idea, and chances are- it affects you or someone you love. With our government facing the enormous task of deciding what to do with the auto industry, it is important that they consider this- those affected by whatever decision is made are PEOPLE. They are not numbers, of statistics. We want Obama and the rest of our leaders to remember as they make this decision (whatever it may be) to consider all the people affected by the potential outcome.
4. PICTURES CAMPAIGN PART 2 (podcast) - The campaign involves making a huge banner to display the names and pictures of everyone affected by whatever decision is made on the Chrysler and GM crisis. The idea is to have President Obama look these people in the eye, and see them as people, not numbers or statistics. D&D want ideas for what they can call this campaign, as well as listener feedback.
5. DICK VITALE (podcast) - DICKIE V! The King Of College Basketball! The man himself! Today the ESPN College Basketball Analyst called in to talk about the Final Four and MSU Basketball.
