This Week on Democracy Matters: Why states and municipalities are selling off our roads, parking meters, and water infrastructure - what it means when public services are put in private hands. And Part II of our interview with Ray Raphael on the Am Revolution.

This week on Democracy Matters - the privatization of public roads, parking meters, water infrastructure, and more to fill budget holes.  Is it wise to give corporations control over our infrastructure?  And Part II of our interview with author and historian Ray Raphael - busting some myths about the American Revolution and our Founding Fathers.

Each week on Democracy Matters we bring you stories from the frontlines as communities bring rights-based organizing to their communities - asserting their local self-governing authority to make the critical decisions that affect their lives and their community.
