I can't figure out why the Republicans would use the word "forcible" in reference to rape. Not just because it's redundant (though the Republicans don't understand that), but because that word means "capable of being forced", not "actually forced".

Thom lived in in Michigan's UP (written about in "The Prophet's Way")

From Screwed:

"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."

—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While

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:

"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."

—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
