Good Politics Radio was founded for the express purpose of changing the way voters make their political decisions and the way their politicians communicate with them. Each state has their own station to showcase office holders, candidates, special interest groups and politicians at the local level, while the Capital Hill" station showcases at the federal level. Good Politics Radio ensures that every candidate, every office-holder regardless of their political affiliation, race, creed or stand on the issues will be allowed a voice.

North Carolina, (PRWEB) September 18, 2003 ---The state of North Carolina will have a new way to get information about political issues with the nationwide launch of Good Politics Radio (www.goodpoliticsradio.com).The North Carolina station, (www.goodpoliticsradio.com/northcarolina.htm), debuted September 15, 2003, offering 24-hours of no-advertising Internet radio devoted to the political issues facing North Carolina today.

Good Politics Radios North Carolina station is hosted through Live365.com, the worlds largest Internet radio station with an audience of more than 3 million listeners each month, and is available to all Real One subscribers.

Good Politics Radios launch is timely, as Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman was recently quoted as saying, I think smart campaigns use the Web to reach the 58 percent of Americans online."

The station benefits North Carolina politicians as well as North Carolina voters. The station offers politicians, lobbyists, office holders, and special interest groups the opportunity to have up to 4 hours of air time per month to get their unedited message out to the voters. The medium is inexpensive, so even those with the smallest budgets can be heard. For hundreds of dollars, politicians get air time along with detailed visitor statistics and demographics and real-time feedback via live chat technology.

North Carolina voters, in turn, get the information they need to make informed decisions by hearing about critical issues that directly affect them without annoying advertising, mud-slinging, or big media hype.

With the current media situation, voters get to know their politicians and the issues in 30 second sound bytes that are often more about why they should not vote for the other candidate than why they should vote for them," says Bonnie Dillabough, General Manager and Founder of Good Politics Radio. The voters stay away from the voting booths in droves because they are confused, discouraged, and uninformed. They feel unqualified to vote or they just feel like they are choosing between evils". Good Politics Radio changes all of that."

Good Politics Radio is starting a political communications revolution that promises to have positive, far-reaching affects for politicians and voters alike. The launch comes after a survey commissioned by the Online Publishers Association (OPA) in conjunction with the University of Connecticut Center for Survey and Research Analysis found that more than two-out-of-three U.S. voters are likely to turn to the Internet to find information about a candidate.
