Shadow Politics

Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog.

We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.

Guest Biography

John G. West, M.D. is the director of surgery at Breastlink of Orange County, CA.  A general surgeon by training, Dr. West became fascinated with the multi-disciplinary team approach to breast cancer care in the mid- 1980’s, which led him in 1988, to open Orange County’s first breast care center that practiced the team approach to the care of patients with breast problems.

With more than 40 years of experience as a surgeon and having performed over 20,000 breast surgeries, Dr. West is respected as one of the country’s leading breast care surgeons and experts in the field of breast care health.

As a tireless advocate for following early detection guidelines, in 2004, Dr. West co-founded the BeAware Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to saving lives by educating and inspiring women to follow early detection guidelines for breast cancer. “Our goal is to improve breast cancer survival rates,” says Dr. West. 

Continuing to be at the forefront of cutting edge breast care issues, Dr. West has been named a “Best Doctor in America” and has been recognized as one of the “Best Doctors in Orange County”. He has been the lead author in 20 peer review articles and has written two previous books.
