From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
This is a republican idea?
seems instead of representing, their constituents, as they have forgotten, what representatives are suppose to do, they just keep chacing their own tails. They have shown the world one thing for such.....they are just worthless, and a burden on all taxpayers.
they are all about waste.
I say NO.
But more importantly, State governments should ALL be unicameral like Nebraska. There is NO need what so ever for state government to have a two body legislature.
i live in Florida, & the state is divided into 2 completely different areas. North FL is the South- conservative, Republican, redneck, etc. South FL is the North- liberal, Democratic. If South FL were its own state, we would have 2 Democratic Senators & a majority of Dem congressional reps. As it is now, South FL is ruled by the redneck Republicans in Tallahassee, which is an alternative universe where all the crazy laws we are famous for originate, & we have to live w/ them. If we were our own state, we would not have to live with the "stand your ground" gun law that lets people get away w/ murder. We wouldn't have to live w/ gerrymandering that has given the
GOP a stranglehold on the state. We would pass stronger environmental protections, living wage ordinances...we would be free of the Tallahassee crazies & life would be, at least, better in South FL. North FL would be just like Alabama or Mississippi, because they wouldn't have all the tax money they're getting from us now.
