Images of Thom
Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
—Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, producer, and environmental activist

I would say both answers are right on this, but the problem is are people going to get out and vote, that seems to be a real problem umungst progressives, and democrats.
Before the potential voting population will mobilize to vote (or do anything) some major human organization involving WORK and RISK must be initiated...asap.
We've been spouting this for years but the necessary courage seems no where to be found.. or perhaps we are all too LAZY, scared, disorganized, bored, desperate, stupid etc..to get any momentum..ie.. (a reasonable # of people x at least a velocity of ideas).
Maybe there are populist type movements scattered across our country but where's the link(ing) to integrate them..ie..who in hell wants to or would like to be part of a movement and not fear being labeled an infidel?..I certainly would.
Rare birds like Thom Hartmann, Joe Pap, Bill Moyers, Bill Maher, Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart etc. are a luxury, but telling us the truth is a big enough responsability for them. We, as a country inhabited by the mediocre masses and run by mostly a poorly informed and selfish government, better get our asses, minds and bodies in gear pronto!
