Part 1	We begin with the announcement today by Rick Santorum that he is suspending his campaign and discuss the reasons why with Will Bunch, an award-winning senior writer with the Philadelphia Daily News. He has followed the career of the former Pennsylvania senator who was soundly rejected by the state’s voters in 2006 and was likely facing a similar fate in the Republican primary two weeks away.
Part 2	Then we speak with George Goehl, the Executive Director of National People’s Network. He is helping lead the “99% Spring” and “99% Power”, training 100,000 activists in April and organizing demonstrations at upcoming shareholder meetings of some of the biggest, most abusive and least accountable corporations in America.
Part 3	Then finally, as tax day looms, we examine how your taxes are spent by the Federal government and how the spending is prioritized. Mattea Kramer, a senior research analyst at the National Priorities Project joins us. They just released the report “Tax Day 2012” that gives the numbers down to the penny on how your federal income taxes were spent in fiscal 2011.
