James Andrews Vlog Mutual Interview from the DNC
Submitted by Graig on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 2:45am
James Andrews is the president of the AFL-CIO. He got us riled up at Monday's breakfast with a great speech. Then on Tuesday morning I heard him talking with a reporter. His answers were so good, I knew I had to get him on tape. Our interview went so well that it stretches 14 minutes. So I split it in two.
Watch the clips to hear his take on the impact of race on the issue and how we're going to engage white voters across North Carolina. He also asks me some great questions about how young people look at labor organizing, social security, and health care.
Here's the first video:
And here's part 2:
The video quality on these is bad because iMovie compressed them a little more than I'd like. But the audio is better than most of my interviews because we actually had a quiet space.

Go Man Go! Great work with the 'mutual interview' technique allowing excellent insight into important pressing issues of the day with folks that could actually make a difference. And looking forward to tonight's historical and important speech..........Barack On!
The best part
He asks you multiple times what you are hearing, with the obvious purpose of finding ways to reach out to people in your age range. He doesnt want to preach to young people, he wants to bring them along with him.

James is speaking Sunday in Chapel Hill
If you want to meet him in person. He'll be at the Community Church for their morning service at 10:30 for their Labor Day service.
Stan - thanks for the props. I'll see you back in the OC.
Will- You're exactly right. He was really interested and wanted to know. That's what made it a great mutual interview. I've got another one in the can that has the same power.
