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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."

Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2009 and 1973,
they would cost you $5.00 and $0.98 respectively.
