Families In Reason  
(Please start a group like this somewhere in the Boulder area. Even though I don't have any children of my own and might not ever, I'll join and help support it. I think it's that important.)
This program is to support freethinking parents in the Tampa Bay, Florida area through discussion and activities, in order to encourage critical thinking, reasoning, and objectivity in our children. We aim to provide educational resources on non-theistic points of view, as well as informational resources on other philosophies for objective comparison. We promote the separation of church and state for the benefit of all Americans. We strive to create awareness through community presence by participating in local efforts to improve upon our environment physically and socially. We support local programs which emphasize creativity and human ingenuity through art and sciences.

THE ROB NELSON SHOW 
(This show didn't last on the air very long. I know there's not much of a market for a level-headed, clear-minded, critical thinking, reasoned approach to things in this culture, but we sure do need it. Please bring this show back on the air.) 
What separates THE ROB NELSON SHOW from other talk shows? Rob! He’s a regular guy and his life experiences give him a unique understanding of the world in which we all live. Often described as the GenXer’s answer to Donahue, Rob probes, pushes and looks for answers with a keen wit and warm sensitivity. Now he’s taking one of daytime’s most successful formats and reinventing it for the 21st century.
