With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
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."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
I am amazed at the positive responses when I wear my Bernie for President shirts. I have used all my Bernie buttons, T's, and bumper stickers; I am awaiting an order of buttons, T's, stamp. I have a Bernie bear. I find myself "campaigning" rather it is educating and reporting events not covered by most media. I do this at community meetings, awaiting trains, trolleys and buses, on the Capitol Limited, and the farmers' markets, especially the one at South Station, Boston, the former site of Occupy Boston
Pulic money for all candidates provided they all get the same amount.
Both are right answers here,yes elections should be publicly funded, and Kudos to bernie fo rtrying to introduce a bill to do it,of course the republicans will try to kill it I am sure, they want to keep the money coming from the people who bought them.
Another option: Yes, and I had a good breakfast.
Sometimes these polls are too silly.

Hey, when polling reflects two optimal responses please provide check boxes instead of radio buttions. :-)
Publicly financed campaigns---yes and add make election day a national holiday, manditory participation, and a circumscribed campaign period.
We also need to roll back the Nixonian war on education, after 45 years of which we have become a nation of morons.
