- 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 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 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."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
