Title
"Un-American" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin criticizing Republican US Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, for his "Hastert Rule." This rule only allowed votes on bills in the House if the majority Republican party was in favor of it; even if Republicans and Democrats together could form a majority vote on the issue. AuCoin states that Hastert and his "henchmen" were "un-American" in their actions in Congress, rejecting the will of the majority of Congress in the legislative process. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in 2004.
