People, we need to go to the next level. We have to start organizing the existing groups to unite. We already have the infrastructure, the contacts and all together the money.

The tea baggers have it right, although they blame the government and we blame thebig corporations. Who cares if some of them are crazy or racist? Many of them are not and are just ignorant. But we can use them as part of the coalition.

We are ALL worried about what this government/big corporation partnership will do to us next. If we focus on the 99%, it won't matter. We need to get started on this.

So what we need to do is ALL of us who are members of organizations (church, labor unions, community activist, political, etc.), all those that have been hurt by the takeover by the corporations and the rich top 1%, start spreading the word.

We need to get people at the heads of these organizations interested in uniting against the top 1%. Maybe we need a convention to decide on who to lead and what our demands will be. Maybe just the THREAT of general strike will be enough.

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."

—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current

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."

—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth

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."
