- Clip:
"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome. Good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." Paul Weyrich.
- Guest: Joseph Farah, founder, editor and CEO of World Net Daily. What if they held a presidential election and no-one showed up? His new book, "None of the Above: Why 2008 is The Year to Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote". He goes against Obama and McCain. He said parties, candidates corrupt, don't vote. Thom says Instant Runoff Voting and take back your parties. He agreed. Obama empowering himself. Breaking news today, George Obama, his half brother who lives in poverty in Kenya. Cindy McCain's siblings being denied. Joseph asked Thom if he would help if he had a brother. Weyrich clip. It was not in the constitution who could vote in the early days. Should vote if receiving federal money?

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
