"The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks." - Lord Acton

America’s political candidates are basically getting elected to America’s political offices by being in high-enough-spending extremely unjustifiably-high-spending political campaigns (including by being as far from the left as the candidates have to genuinely be for their campaigns to get enough funding from the monied interests) instead of getting elected to America’s political offices by being qualified-enough for them; so, America’s government is always a centrist or right wing government. Right now America needs campaign spending limits—limits on how much each of America’s political campaigns spends in its election race—more than it needs anything else (including more than it needs social reform, economic reform, media reform, military reform, campaign contribution reform, proportional representation, and everything else it needs); and, the problem with the world right now is basically that there aren’t adequate campaign spending limits in enough of its election races.

The "stakeholders" in health care reform in this case do not include the rabble.
Please watch Bill Moyers 4 minute editorial. It's a good one. Here's a quote:
It's not about compromise. It's not about what the public wants. It's about money, the golden ticket to "the select few who actually get it done." And nothing will change. Nothing. Until the money-lenders are tossed out of the temple, and we tear down the sign they've placed on government — the one that reads: "For sale."

Is there any chance Thom Hartmann will speak at a location near me? Unfortunately, that would be this backwater called Memphis, TN.

Why do the events stop as of two weeks ago? How are these events listed "upcoming"? Why can't I find any actual "upcoming" events, like tomorrow night's one in Denver?
Thom's Blog Is On the Move
By webmaster
Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
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."
Sing or sign?
Is Thom truly going to be SINGING his new book? If so, I hope there will be 4 part harmony. If not, perhaps someone should clear up the spelling on your website for the compulsive spellers among us.
