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:

"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."

—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."

—Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."

—David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, The Great Turning, and When Corporations Rule the World
