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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
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 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."
