Schell Comments on Peaceful Alternative to Missteps of Bush Administration in Foreign and Military Policy

Newton, MA, May 21, 2003: Ben Tafoya and Dennis Tafoya co-hosts of The Emerging Majority, a new radio program adding a politically progressive voice to metro Boston, announced that the show has booked more news making guests. This week for our show airing May 23, 2003 and May 25 we will be joined by Jonathan Schell, author of the acclaimed new book 'The Unconquerable World. " says Ben Tafoya.

Jonathan Schell has written the definitive work on why war is not an effective tool of national policy. He strongly makes the argument that the Bush administration is naïve thinking that war in Iraq will make American safer." adds Dennis Tafoya.

In the book Schell argues that the US is faced with choice between being an empire and a Republic. The lure of Empire is that force is easier to deploy than persuasion. Force is the basis of Empire, while consent is the basis of the Republic.

Upcoming guests on May 29, 2003 include Ruy Texeira, author of the important work The Emerging Democratic Majority". He will join the brothers for a discussion of the future of the Democratic Party and the progressive issues that resonate with voters.

The show, which debuted on April 11, 2003, aims to create an on-air community for people who are passionate about economic democracy, peaceful foreign policy and human rights. The brothers have had business careers of twenty years each in the technology sector. "We think we have a unique approach to progressive politics based on working in the private sector for so long", says Dennis Tafoya. "We want to invite the community in Eastern Massachusetts to join a conversation about politics, film, literature and the arts that has been going on between us for most of our lives."

The Tafoya's also offer their nominations for Goat of the Week and Hero of the Week recognizing individuals who have contributed to recent news. The shows conclude with The End Times offering the personal views of the hosts on books, films, music and the arts of interest to the progressive community.

Each Friday the show can be heard on WBNW 1120 AM and WPLM 1390 AM at 1:00 pm and again Sundays at 2:00 PM, as well as through the internet at www.theemergingmajority.com .
