I think we need to insist that Mitt Romney be more specific about his "jobs plan". I believe he does, indeed, have a plan to create 12 million new jobs. In China.

Thom, you've inspired me! As a result of your "Get out there! Get active" plea, I volunteered today for the first time at my local Democratic Party headquarters. And I'm going back next week. I'm not going to sit back and let the Republicans destroy my country! Thanks so much, Thom, for the inspiration and for the knowledge you share. You have given me the knowledge I need to fight back.

Thom, I think that it would be helpful to use language like George Lakoff suggests for getting our message across. It seems that some times we spend too much time using language that only liberals will hear. We need to practice language and thought patterns that others will be receptive to.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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."
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."
