Thom is speaking in NYC - Thom Hartmann on When Corporations became People
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a recent 5-4 decision, ruled that corporations have the same rights as citizens. Thom Hartmann, the country's #1 progressive radio host and author of over 20 books, traces the history of corporate personhood in this presentation "Unequal Protection". Hartmann considers that ruling to be wrong. The first amendment guarantees FREE SPEECH for people, not corporations. But the ruling for Citizen's United by the Supreme Court has opened the flood-gates for corporate money in political campaigns.

I had a sale date of Nov 9, 2009. Found a company that specializes in making the trustee company verify that they have followed all of the legal procedures. This strategy has kept my family and I in our house. The average customer can remain up to 40 months in their home depending on the violations found in their trust sale documents. Everyone should know about it. When the house is sold the customer gets their monthly payment back. I can get their website's info. All I have now is the email in my cell phone. For info people can email to contact@dontmoveoutyet.info. They have given us the ability to save up money and move when more convenient for us.

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."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
The Inflation Calculator
What cost $5.00 in 1973 would cost $23.88 in 2009.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2009 and 1973,
they would cost you $5.00 and $0.98 respectively.
Do you want to do another calculation?
This is according to the Consumer Price Index
