"Democrasy depends on an informed electorate." Don't remember which one of the Founding Fathers said that (or almost that), but it seems to have been =deliberately= 'forgotten' a while back. Why does the general public have no clue what's going on, or believe 'fairy tales' that any -thinking- person would outright laugh at? Because they're being selectively fed -only- what the corporations want people to know .. and steadfastly denied access to information that might make the public get all 'uppity'. Luckily, I speak a number of languages besides English, so I can find out what else is going on and/or what another view of a situation is .. .. but far too many 'gud Amaircuns' can barely speak/read =English=!! And the American media, not just Faux News, hasn't done a damn thing to help matters, at all!

Until the masses, get out the vote, there will be no movement, just like today's political scheming.

It is one mans doing, thats fueling the consolidation, Michael Powell, Gen. Powell's son., and the overall corruption of our media, for the 1%.

low voting is strangling this countries citizens, more and more.

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
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
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."
