What a shame. Hopefully the electorate will kick the bad guys out, but i think Americans are stupid. If someone is part of the 99%, why the hell would they vote for a Repulsican ??? That's why are country is hurting, because people dont vote or vote for the person who is not going to help them.

The problem is that the voters can't kick the "do nothing" members out of office. Elections are staggard, and besides, there would be no one left.

The totality of our lack luster society is that the average citizen doesn't have time to pay and heed to the overall political arena of today. They are either too consumed with their work and family responsibilities and just are totally disenchanted with the endless negative media coverage (FOX NEWS) resulting with many of them not even taking the opportunity to vote. I have come to the realization that 1% has infiltrated the media with a host of lies and deception and absolutely has to be dealt with, and that being my ultimate goal of the supreme courts ruling on Citizens United ruling.

I refrain from voting on this.

We need to stop voting for both corporate controlled parties. Yes, the Dems are better than the Republicans but neither are not representing working Americans.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
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 Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
