Adam Green (@AdamGreen) co-founder of Progressive Change Campaign Committee at BoldProgressives.org talks about role of PCCC, the problems with the democratic party, what progressive voices are calling for and how to get there.

Pat Garofalo (@Pat_Garofalo), economics editor at Think Progress, discuss the most under reported banking story right now: how states are using money received from Foreclosure Settlement to fill budget gaps instead of channeling it to stressed homeowners.
