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."
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."
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."
Each citizen, upon reaching hir 18th birthday {per SSA record} will be registered to vote in all Federal Elections. This civic right shall not be infringed.
bob: Thanks for saying it right on. Short but to the point.
I agree, Bob gives it to us short and sweet and to the point. However, If we were going to tackle a Voter's Rights Bill, I would want the elections to be at least over a 2 day period and for one, if not both of those days, to be holidays. Perhaps one of the most important features that this Bill will contain is a provision for Election fraud. If any one is caught and convicted of committing Election fraud they should be imprisioned for 15 to 20 years.
Not only should voting be a federal "right", it is our duty and responsibility as US Citizens to vote. When compared to other nations, where people walk for miles and endure all sorts of weather, hardships, intimidation (and sometimes even beatings, mutilations, or even in some cases, risk death), our voting record in this country is pathetic.
in Oregon our ballots are delivered by US Mail. we have 10 days to 2 weeks to complete and retun. A Federalized system would limit the damage from manipulation at the local level.
