Michael Savage is probably the most offensive shock jock on the airwaves. Savage even opens his show with the sound of machine gun fire and exploding bombs. Folks, though it's difficult to stomach, please click here and listen to the first 30 seconds to see just what I mean.

Savage is also noted for his contempt of:

Muslims
Homosexuals
Martin Luther King

Well, I have great news. With your help, I'm poised to bump Savage off the airwaves in Iowa! In 2009, we took the 7:00-8:00 pm hour away from him. Now, we're ready to boot him out of the 8:00-9:00 pm time slot. But I can't do it without YOU.

For a monthly pledge of $25, we'll replace one hour of Savage's hate speech with one hour of the Fallon Forum, allowing more local, progressive voices to be heard on Iowa's public airwaves. Click here to make it happen.

Here's this week's line-up.

Monday, Charles Goldman and I analyze the Tea Party.

Tuesday, Peggy Huppert with the American Cancer Society discusses legislation that would extend the smoking ban to casinos.

Wednesday, Siobhan Spain with Center on Sustainable Communities talks about a range of green initiatives and opportunities available to central Iowans.

Thursday, Gina Strickland with A Women's Place shares her vision for growing her new, unique Des Moines-based business.
