Thom,

Speaking of not feeling like you can speak to your congressional representative - Article 1, Section 2 of the US Constitution says "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least on Rep..." Right now we are at around one congressional rep for every 800,000 people - which makes it very difficult to have the opportunity to speak to your rep unless you the $$$$ they need for campaign purposes.

Entitlements? When you work for your employer with the agreement that you will be compensated by the employer for your labor or service - that compensation you are entitled to. Hence, your paycheck is an entitlement. Who doesn't like entitlements?

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

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."
Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
