Dr. Browder, who is currently conducting a statewide series of public forums on American democracy, will appear live on APT’s “For the Record” which runs from 6:30-7:00 p.m on Monday, Oct. 28. The program, which will include a telephone call-in session, will focus on the forums and his new book, The Future of American Democracy: A Former Congressman's Unconventional Analysis (2002).

Alabama Public Radio affiliate WUAL will record its interview for taped broadcast while Browder is speaking at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on October 16.

These appearances are designed, according to Browder, as part of an expanding effort to engage Alabamians in serious discussion about the future of American democracy. "America is changing in ways that are important and unsettling for the future of American democracy," he says. "We are undergoing a democratic metamorphosis of uncertain consequence for the 'Great Experiment' of American history, and we owe it to ourselves, our children, and coming generations to prepare for these changes."
