ELECTION 2012
Feeling confused and overwhelmed when you think about the presidential election? Tired of fighting across the aisle? Do you want to scrap the whole thing and move to Canada? Voice of the Republic is here to help!
We've enlisted the help of two correspondents, David Baroldy and Leonard Warren, to create a sort of "Cliff's Notes" guide to the main issues that are affecting America. We hope it helps everyone cut through the party rhetoric, so feel free to hit us up via email or Facebook and speak your mind. You can also call us on the Republicomm! Special Thanks: Romney's Theme: Joe Jackson - I'm the Man Obama's Jam: Al Green - Let's Stay Together

WHO Are You Wearing?
Yes, VOR attempts fashion episode.
Mike and Ed weigh in on what works for people, what doesn't, and what some of today's hottest trends are.
We know you're thinking "who the hell are they to tell me how to dress?" Well, we understand. We are two really cool, handsome, and charming cuts of USDA Prime, but we were once awkward babes lost in the woods of fashion. We found ourselves, learned some simple tricks along the way, and we're here to share them with you!
Do you have a tip you want to share with our listeners? Do you want to share evidence of a bad decision immortalized on camera? EMail us at VoiceOfRep@gmail.com, post to the FaceBook page, or meet us on the VORum!
We're showing ours, you show us yours!

VOR II
Now available on itunes, or via the VOR website, Voice of the Republic is BACK!
Mike Wagganer and myself, Ed Siemienkowicz return to the internet airwaves (where wifi is available) to bring back the "podcast in the brown paper bag."
The new VOR has the attitude, humor, and opinions that you've come to know and love, but with far less Star Wars. If you miss that part of the show, there are over four years of the old VOR to listen to, or re-listen to. Those opinions haven't changed, as Star Wars hasn't changed. 'Nuff said.
VOR is now unlimited, and plans to cover many topics, and have plenty of guest hosts. Subscribe via itunes, and like us on Facebook. VOR 2.0.
Special Thanks:
David Bowie - Fashion
Reptar - Blastoff
Toto - Africa
LCD Soundsystem - I'm Losing My Edge
