Was a consultant to Sander at Vox Pop Inc.
I'm the founder of the Truth Party. I'm a media activist, a catalyst of progressive social ventures, and a journalist. I also work as a carpenter and furniture builder.
Earlier, I founded Vox Pop Inc., Soft Skull Press. In 2003, I was in “Horns and Halos” (HBO/Cinemax) the independent publishing documentary that recorded our attempts to get unpopular truths out about G.W.Bush, through the biography Fortunate Son (Soft Skull, 1999).
My own book, The Big Wedding (Vox Pop, 2005) breaks new ground on the working-class intelligence assets and whistle-blowers who tried to stop 9/11 from happening.
I have reported for Alternet, GNN, Long Island Press, New York Press, and INN World Report Television (FSTV, Dish Network).
In 2008, an independent film released called "Able Danger." It was loosely based on my reporting on 9/11 in the New York Megaphone and book The Big Wedding.
KSLA TV-12, Shreveport covers Hicks' ignored Dept. of Justice complaint regarding the murder of 9/11 whistle-blower Dr. David Graham.
