From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

Anyone who furthers the cause of peace deserves the Nobel Prize not prison.
I'm leaning towards the peace prize. Do you suppose we could start a petition to free him?
We owe a debt of gratitude to Manning and Snowden. Without whistleblowers like them, we would never know what our government is doing, usually illegally and/or unethically, in our name. Secrecy and democracy don't work well together as one or more of our founders (Madison? Paine?) once noted.
Exactly, good call, we do owe a lot to those 2 individuals, as well as several others whose names I cannmot think of right now.
