We start out hearing from U.S. Representative Sandy Levin about the fight in Congress around unemployment insurance--and hear what's really going on in those marbled halls. Next up we find out about the FAMILY Act and what it could mean for your family. Then we talk patriotism, democracy and football with a leading author. And we close the show talking happiness!
