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."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
—Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World

I don't think it should be "illegal" but I do question the timing. The County Clerk's office and the Secretary of State's office have their hands more than full before and just after an election. The voter rolls should be examined and purged sin months to a year prior to an election, and done at least once in a four year election cycle. And yes, I also think we need to keep voter ID laws on the books whereever they now exist, and I think States without them should strongly consider requiring some sort of photo ID and proof of registration.
If it is done, the results should be announced publicly. Names need not be named, but I really would like to know how many names were wiped from the lists & how the fraudulent voters got on the lists in the first place.
As far as I can tell the repugs made this "crisis" up. Frankly, I don't see why illegal immigrants would want to draw this kind of attention to themselves. Wouldn't they rather prefer to keep undercover if they entered the country illegally?

I agree, Ohio doesn't have a record of voter problems we have a problem of election laws and methods that are fraudulent.
The only voter fraud that exists, is the Republican voter fraud. It has been shown nationally, there is not actual voter fraud. 1/10 of 1% fraud, in which most have been charged, is not even an issue with voter fraud. The republicans created this issue, and as always, another republican, out in out lie and fraud.
Right on ! All the republican do is create out of thin air, issues that are not issues. They don't work for us they work only for there Masters.
I liked that reminder of the French Revolution. Off with their heads! (Those of the corporate masters, that is).
