Can You Be There for FSTV?
By calling 1-877-FSTV-NOW...
The FSTV journey began many many years ago with just a first donor. Free Speech TV then was a tiny station no one had heard about. Today, that small community project has grown into a national television network, available to millions of homes across the nation and to the world, via FREESPEECH.ORG.
This isn't magic, but the result of the individuals like every one of you working together to create the unthinkable...Television completely free of corporate and government influence, owned solely by the people. Here we are, close to 17 years later, airing 24/7 via DISH Network, nearly 200 US cable stations, and on DIRECTV.
Our media project, FSTV, has grown into a national social justice movement and it is confronting its most pivotal phase. I'm asking you to please help and your team at Free Speech TV is taking roll call. Are you still with us? Will you help us sustain this momentum?
Here's what you'll get:
$60, or $5 per month: Thom Hartmann Program coffee mug & a bumper sticker that says "Proud graduate of the Thom Hartmann University.
$120, or $10 per month: My new book The Crash of 2016: The Plot to Destroy America--and What We Can Do to Stop It. It will be hot off the presses in a few weeks and you will be the first to receive it - signed - with a special note of something you need to do.
$240, or $20 per month: Book: A special printed book edition of my new EBook about climate change - The Last Hours of Humanity: Warming the World to Extinction. You will not be able to get a printed copy anywhere but through the FSTV pledge - only here! & The Crash of 2016: The Plot to Destroy America--and What We Can Do to Stop It (with my special note of something you should do)
$360, or $30 per month: Book: A copy of the U.S. Constitution signed by me - yours truly. Having a copy of the US Constitution is very very important. A special printed book edition of my new EBook about climate change - The Last Hours of Humanity: Warming the World to Extinction. You will not be able to get a printed copy anywhere but through the FSTV pledge - only here! & The Crash of 2016: The Plot to Destroy America--and What We Can Do to Stop It (with my special note of something you should do)
$500: Everything listed above….
$1,000: If you can come to - or are in Washington DC - A visit to the studio so you can watch the TV show Live from the control room. It's a hoot. You will see how the show is made. Then we'll go out and grab a pizza together at one of the best pizza places in DC. They serve Gluten free pizza or regular - if you can't eat gluten like me. I've had many dinners with viewers/listeners and this is my favorite pledge point. I've met new friends that I now keep in touch with. Going to dinner with some of the smartest and interesting people on the planet is a highlight for me. I would love to meet you. Plus - I'm still going to send you my new book - The Crash of 2016: The Plot to Destroy America--and What We Can Do to Stop It - with a special message for you.
Please don't let this momentum stop as you won't find movement politics and social justice anywhere else. You'll find "my team/your team" politics but you won't find the bigger picture and depth of this program. We have changed minds together.
Thank you for your continuous support of our network and for joining our efforts to continue to project the voice and views of the people, for the people, with your support.
We/I can't do this without you. I'm here for you. FSTV is here for you. Can you be here for us? PLEASE, TAKE ACTION NOW! By calling 1-877-FSTV-NOW

Who's really winning in the government shutdown?
The real dangers of this government shutdown are becoming clear, but Republicans just want to keep up their political game. On Thursday, we found out that the Capital Police, who stopped a potentially-dangerous situation at the White House, will soon see their pay disappear. In Gulf Coast states, thousands of FEMA workers are furloughed, even as Tropical Storm Karen is expected to become a hurricane. And, domestic violence programs all around our nation say they will have to close their doors today if the government shutdown continues.
Yet, House Republicans think this is just a game, and it's all about winning or losing the media narrative. After recent television appearances, Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul were caught with open mics. They were overheard discussing the GOP talking points about the government shutdown, and which phrases were “poll tested” for the media. Senator Paul told McConnell, “we're gonna win this, I think.”
However, police officers losing their pay, and being unable to protect our president, is not winning. FEMA being unprepared for a possible deadly storm is not success. And, domestic violence victims having no place to turn certainly doesn't sound like victory. The only ones winning in this situation are the billionaires behind the Tea Party, who are getting a huge return on their political investments. Tea Party Senators like Rand Paul seem to think winning means refusing to back down from their long list of billionaire demands.
Deregulation doesn't pay cops for their work. Building Keystone XL won't help FEMA workers prepare for the next hurricane. And, repealing Obamacare won't help domestic violence victims find a safe shelter. These are real people, facing real pain, so that the House Republicans can feel like they win with the media, and Americans are angry that this Tea Party game isn't over.

Thom Hartmann Program
I'll just put this out there. Is anyone organizing demonstrations in Washington right now, I mean HUGE demonstrations in Washington (like the million man march), to demonstrate the need and demand for healthcare for all Americans, and to show myopic Republicans that the demand is popular, real, necessary, and urgent?
