WQED Vote 2008: A Town Hall Meeting and Broadcast with Jim Lehrer to Air Live on Sunday, April 20 at 6pm

Public is invited to be part of studio audience

PITTSBURGH - While Pennsylvania presidential campaigns usually begin in Philadelphia, they don’t end there. What do these candidates know about the Pittsburgh region? What does the public want them to know?
The NewsHour’s Jim Lehrer will host WQED Vote 2008: A Town Hall Meeting and Broadcast along with a guest panel of politicians, education leaders, philanthropists, foundation heads, high-profile members of the media, and community leaders on SUNDAY, APRIL 20 from 6 to 7pm in The Fred Rogers Studio at WQED, 4802 Fifth Avenue in Oakland. The Town Hall Meeting will air live on WQED-TV and WQED-HD and will be simul-streamed on WQED Interactive at www.wqed.org. The Town Hall Meeting will re-broadcast on WQED-TV at 11pm on April 20.

It does not appear that there will be any opportunity for audience participation; but it would be great if members of the public held PBS accountable for its part of the silence about torture, attack on social security, lying the country into war, blowing smoke about the Plame case, and everything else they have done to hurt our country.
