Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
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."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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."
Feedback: a caller mentioned.
Remember that guy that put in a plug for The National Exchange Club?
I looked that up, and I'm wondering if it's not ALEC Junior.ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council
Here's their website https://www.nationalexchangeclub.org/content/about-exchange
"Each member of Exchange holds near to their heart three core values – Family, Community and Country."
They have an "Exchange Covenant of Service" and a scary looking "Americanism" effort, hell-bent on keeping "under God" in the pledge of allegiance which they want every student to swear to.
Questionable at least, but I'm wondering if it's not really ALEC in training.
