*** ON THE RADIO *****
Monday, March 02, 2009
It was a big week on "The Lou Dobbs Show." Mr. Independent went head-to-head with the Rev. Al Sharpton over the First Amendment, and he called out the new attorney general, Eric Holder, over his efforts to limit the Second. And now he's ready to do it all over again, as another week of the best news, commentary and insights begins in the Independent Nation.

Joining Lou on Monday's broadcast will be Congressman BARNEY FRANK. The Massachusetts Democrat will discuss the latest political stories, including President Obama's budget plans and the nation's housing crisis.

JONAH GOLDBERG, editor-at-large for National Review Online, will weigh in on the early days of the Obama administration. The Liberal Fascism author will also have a bit of fun at the expense of former Vice President Al Gore.

And Congressman LAMAR SMITH of Texas is concerned about the incessant drug-related violence that's happening across his state's southern border, and he's calling for House hearings. He'll talk about his efforts.

As always, Lou will take your calls to discuss the issues that matter most- and to get your thoughts on the direction America is heading. Call him toll-free on the Independent Hotline at 877-55 DOBBS. (It's the best bargain in broadcasting.)
