Iraqi Health Now
Haider Alsaedy and Kathy Murphy - larger >>
Haider Alsaedy fled Iraq under the Saddam Hussein regime. He lived in refugee camps in Saudi Arabia before making his way to the US. Haider went back to Iraq in 2006 and was appalled by what he saw: hospitals with no supplies, patients reusing needles, people dying needlessly.
Haider tells Dick Gordon how he and an American friend, Kathy Murphy, created an organization called Iraqi Health Now, which helps provide medical supplies to Iraqi hospitals.

Backroom Dealbreaker
Kelly Hicks
Kelly Hicks left her real estate job to work on a campaign for a local politician - someone she thought would make her town a better place to live. She was shocked when she learned he was in the back pocket of developers. For years afterwards, she didn't vote. Kelly talks to Dick about the backroom meeting that crushed her political idealism, and how she later recovered her faith in politics.
