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.

Location: New York Law School Auditorium, 185 W Broadway, New York, NYHosted by: AM1600 WWRL, Demos and the New York Law School Chapter of the American Constitution Society

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."

—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

From Cracking the Code:

"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."

—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine

From Screwed:

"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."

—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
